Chaser
from Chaser (2003) many developers could learn the true meaning of a full-length PC game
It's a 6-year old game now, and comparing it to the present-day games Chaser in some parts has not aged gracefully ... but it's still playable. For play on XP SP2+ or Vista, you need to install a patch that is available ... Read Full Review

SOCOM 4: U.S. Navy SEALs
with Playstation Networks being down, SOCOM 4 MP looks sad, while singleplayer is a mixed bag
I don't have the baggage of past SOCOMs so I didn't have any expectations of how the game should play or look like. Being primarily a PC gamer when it comes to everything but racing games, SOCOM 4 looked promising but ev... Read Full Review

SiN Episodes: Emergence
It's a fun and, to some extent, a mindless FPS game. Not bad at all, but not great either.
It's not something I'll remember playing 2-3 months from now. Good stuff: - fun shooter (better than average) - pretty good presentation considering a rather shallow story - decent graphics and sound quality - mo... Read Full Review

Velvet Assassin
lots of room for improvement, but still very satisfying stealth gameplay
Loosely based on a true story/person this game is a story-driven stealth third person tactical shooter. Of all these just mentioned words, the stealth is the key to this game. The developer (Replay Studios) put lots of e... Read Full Review

Zeno Clash
this may be the most innovative game of the year ... so far
A fascinating game by three Chilean brothers whose first names initials form the word ACE ... as in the *ACE Team* comes to us via downloads at Steam and D2D for about $20 (and less than that if you pre-ordered the game... Read Full Review

Cryostasis
deliberate slow-paced survivalist extravaganza ... with some performance issues
Before this game gets slammed by *official* reviews that don't see much value or quality in games that are not accompanied by truckloads of ad campaigns cash, let me just quickly say ... the game has some problems and ..... Read Full Review

The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena
DRM spoils very good game
This is a good ... very good game. It's easy to immerse yourself into it and not come out for hours. If you like stealth and FPS/RPG combo, this game is for you. If you played the first Riddick (Escape from Butcher Bay),... Read Full Review

Dark Sector
fake widescreens ... but otherwise great entertainment
First, it must be said that if you have a strong inclination for third-person shooter you can't go wrong with buying Dark Sector -- $20 is a great deal. If a third-person shooter is something you play now and then for fu... Read Full Review

Wanted: Weapons of Fate
Technical problems plague this otherwise very fun third-person shooter
Quite frankly this game would deserve somewhere around 8 if it's not for very annoying technical problems. Specifically, the game crashes on Vista (haven't tried on XP) systems that meet all requirements. More specifical... Read Full Review

Secret Service
"Secret Service" is a true cheap budget title and it shows
This is the third game by Cauldron and published by the budget division of Activision that I played and the result is about same -- the developer simply fails to raise the quality and its products stay solidly below the... Read Full Review

Exodus from the Earth
Lots of action, but somewhat boring
This is really a budget title with graphics that will remind you on games that you played 5 or 6 years ago. Yet they are not that bad (especially interiors tend to look very good and detailed) and the game is playable. O... Read Full Review

007: Quantum of Solace
Fun shooter, but on the short side.
The game itself is nothing too deep. It may not even be something that screams "007", but it's a fun shooter when nothing else is available. Action is somewhat repetitive but the game runs smoothly on most systems. It's... Read Full Review

not worth trying ... but if you do, read my brief observation
The game uses very similar (not to say identical) install and play technique as seen in the developer's other title: "You Are Empty". Both games are not worth mentioning from the gameplay perspective since they don't off...

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
WOW ... what a great game!
It seems everything that could be said about this game in positive terms has already been said. I'm not into RPG , but this is a mindblowing experience. Graphics and audio are smooth and gameplay is super enjoyable. Noth... Read Full Review

Infernal
Infernal is probably the third person shooter of the year
Let's start this brief review with the question: Why is it so popular among the US game reviewers to slam down smaller Central and East European game developers? Or, in other words why not apply the same criteria to game... Read Full Review

Stranglehold
just a plain third person shooter -- not great, not bad, just fun
Many, including myself, expected two "super" games from Midway this year -- Blacksite: Area 51 (FPS) and Stranglehold (TPS). Unfortunately Midway somehow succeeded to mediocritize both games. Although their rel... Read Full Review

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter
I guess my expectations were too high. GRAW is mediocre at best.

El Matador
an extremely fast paced third person shooter that looks great and plays smooth
This game is hard as hell to get through without using cheats. The game is pretty much unbeatable the first time you play it and soon becomes frustrating constantly reloading the last saved game. While I don't mind using... Read Full Review

Alpha Prime
a solid singleplayer sci-fi first person shooter that runs smoothly and looks excellent
Alpha Prime is a surprisingly well done sci-fi FPS package. Too bad that most of the US gamers have never heard of it. A good part of the problem is a 6-month delay between Euro release and the US release dates (11/17/07... Read Full Review

Clive Barker's Jericho
... there is much more to like than to dislike in Jericho.
I think that various game review sites genuinely missed the good stuff in this game by not knowing how to respond to something rather new -- an FPS horror game that's not too scary and not too strong FPS game either. ... Read Full Review

The History Channel: Battle for the Pacific
... except for the pretty graphics and some nice historic footage there are not many things going for this game.
I've recently reviewed just released SoF Payback, the game that really doesn't shine in any respect. And I'm saying that because the same developer (Cauldron) also developed this game and published it via the same publis... Read Full Review

Gears of War
... for right now the game is simply too un-PC-like and too buggy to be among the top shooters.
This may as well be the best third person shooter on the market right now. And I bet this would be a great first person shooter if that camera view is enabled. But OK, this is playable even for me who strongly prefers an... Read Full Review

Soldier of Fortune: Payback
Apart from its trademark blood and gore there is not much of SoF left in Payback.
This would be a good game if (1) you don't have any expectation of an actual story, (2) would like to run-n-gun for awhile, and (3) you paid $9.95 for it. (My suggestion is obvious ... wait until this game's price comes ... Read Full Review

BlackSite: Area 51
It's an average FPS with somewhat worse than average AI and some nice destructible objects.
This could have been a game that FPS fans would find addictive. But, unfortunately the game is not so attractive for various reasons. First, I'm not sure that you could find one marketing department that after such a ... Read Full Review

If you have a system that can run it, Crysis will instantly become your favorite FPS. Brilliant work!
There is no doubt that Crysis will shape the PC gaming environment for the next few years. It's a trend-setting game like Far Cry was. In fact, like Far Cry, this game will probably be the best in about a year when peopl... Read Full Review

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction
