The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

By raichou | Review Date: Oct 27, 2010 | PC

A quintessential RPG in every way and form. Oblivion is without a doubt one of the best RPGs ever made in history.

Morrowind sucks. There I said it. Ever since I grabbed myself a copy of the GOTY edition of Elder's Scrolls 3: Morrowind back in 2005, I was filled with regret. Crappy combat, boring world, extremely buggy and definitely... Read Full Review

Borderlands

By raichou | Review Date: Dec 29, 2012 | PC

With lame RPG-lite gameplay and heavily flawed game design issues, Borderlands is a disappointment.

***EDIT: I would like to confirm that Gearbox HAS fixed the performance issues as of 2012. Nevertheless, I stand by my verdict: Borderlands 1 is a disappointing, mediocre RPG that's only fun when you play Co-op. HOWEVER,... Read Full Review

The Witcher: Enhanced Edition

By raichou | Review Date: Oct 19, 2010 | PC

Beautiful, immersive & atmospheric, The Witcher: Enhanced Edition is a must-have for all RPG buffs.

When it first hit the shelves in late 2007/early 2008, it had critics raving. Yes, The Witcher is indeed a fantastic game full of epic story telling crafted in a highly immersive world. However, what prevented it from re... Read Full Review

Assassin's Creed II

By raichou | Review Date: Oct 10, 2010 | PC

Hidden beneath that satanic DRM is a diamond waiting to be embraced - Yes, that's right, Assassin's Creed 2 rocks.

NOTE: The above score is for IF you can look past the dreadful Ubisoft DRM. If you can't forgive it but can still handle the net requirements, take away 1 point from the score (8.5/10). If your net and AC2 wont go well t... Read Full Review

Halo 2

By raichou | Review Date: Sep 16, 2010 | PC

2007 and the world has moved on...so should you. Stick to the first Halo and hope for a Halo Reach PC port soon.

(I am reviewing this game in 2010, 3 years from its release) To be honest, I am a big fan of the first Halo and the recent new release of Halo Reach on the Xbox 360. Being a PC gamer with minor console habits, I am quic... Read Full Review

Mass Effect

By raichou | Review Date: Apr 25, 2013 | PC

Overrated but still a terrific Sci-Fi RPG title.

Despite the welcoming streamlined squad interface and inventory outline, Mass Effect really has me baffled at why some people (*cough* Xbox360 gamers *cough*) regard it as one of the 'best RPG of all time'. If you expect... Read Full Review

Call of Duty: World at War

By raichou | Review Date: Jun 06, 2010 | PC

Feels like a WWII mod for CoD4. Mediocre SP. Terrific Multiplayer and Nazi Zombie mode. Nuff Said.

De javu. That's what I thought when I first loaded WAW. The single-player aspect has always been a top priority for me since the original blew me away back in 2003. Impressed with CoD4 and MW2, I looked forward to WAW wi... Read Full Review

Sanctum 2

By raichou | Review Date: May 27, 2013 | PC

Sanctum 2 is a diamond of a title that unfortunately lacks polish and shine.

Mini-Review: While enhanced vs its predecessor in almost every way, Sanctum 2 is a brilliant FPS/Tower Defence hybrid that manages to merge the excitement of casual FPS action with the intensity of Tower Defence on gr... Read Full Review

Age of Empires II: HD Edition

By raichou | Review Date: Apr 20, 2013 | PC

A sorely lack of enhancements and a sprung of new bugs mar this 'remake' of the all-time legendary classic

Mini-Review If you're a 90's kid, you've most definitely played Age of Empires II. Hell, it ruined my primary school grades and managed to nearly fck up my chances to getting into a good high school (not to mention ki... Read Full Review

The Walking Dead: Episode 5 - No Time Left

By raichou | Review Date: Nov 21, 2012 | PC

A haunting yet satisfying conclusion to season one that sets the stage for another to follow

Mini-Review: In this year where we are swamped by triple AAA titles with disappointing and terrible endings, the final episode of Telltale's The Walking Game delivers and proves otherwise. The fantastic formula establis... Read Full Review

Deadlight

By raichou | Review Date: Nov 09, 2012 | PC

Finally on the PC, Deadlight is an ambitious title that could've been so much more.

I dont usually review indie titles and as of now I am in the midst of university exams so I should really get back to studying. But anyhow, here's a mini-review of Tequila Works' new title Deadlight, now ported to the PC... Read Full Review

RAGE

By raichou | Review Date: Dec 29, 2012 | PC

You'll be raging by the end of it.

**EDIT: As of 10/2012, the latest AMD and Nvidia drivers HAVE fixed up the texture and performance issues that plague this game. However, I hold firm to my rating. Technical hitches aside, its very much the same 7/10 gam... Read Full Review
