Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions

BioShock 2

Team Fortress 2

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

Brigandine: The Legend of Forsena

Final Fantasy Tactics

Hitman: Blood Money

Cryostasis: The Sleep of Reason

Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura

Give it at least one try.

I picked this game up a short time ago, LONG after its original release, and was very happy with what I found - for the most part. The depth of character design is amazing, especially for the time when it was released... Read Full Review

Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne

A great game, period.

This is just flat-out a cool game. As to the difficulty, that largely depends on what you set it at. :) It's third person, which was new for me at the time, but it kind of feels like a first person game. I was imme... Read Full Review

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3

What the...

This was bad. This was disappointing, especially considering it's predecessors. First of all I could barely make it through the opening cinematic... I was happy to see some good actors in the CG's (even though the... Read Full Review

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2

One of the best RTS games ever.

I fell in love with this game instantly. I was a big fan of the C&C predecessors, particularly C&C: Tiberian Sun, and the original Red Alert games. This game has a feel to it that I have not really found in any other g... Read Full Review

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

A mix of Morrowind's massive feel, and Oblivion's accessibility.

Like most of you I've been waiting for this game since the moment I got done with Oblivion. For me, and a lot of other Elder Scrolls fans, Oblivion was a let down in a lot of ways. Not that the game didn't present a so... Read Full Review

Payday: The Heist

Rob some people in fairly convincing fashion.

I awaited this game for months and months, and was overwhelmed when it finally came out. I mean, after all, there hasn't really been a game that tackles this premise to date, and there were quite a few people that were ... Read Full Review

Deus Ex

One of the Best FPS EVER

This game had the horrible fortune of coming out very near to Half-Life's release. I too was one of many who scoffed at the idea of playing this game, and at the idea that it could even compare to half-life. I couldn't... Read Full Review

Half-Life

The FPS that changed a genre.

I'm kind of writing this in response to all three of the Half-Life I games /expansions. My feelings are pretty much the same about all three (except I could truthfully say I felt Opposing Force was even better), so it j... Read Full Review

Half-Life 2

A bit overrated...

This game was good. It might, at some moments, border on great. But it could have been a lot, LOT more than it was. The hype surrounding this game was way overbearing, and I was a part of that, I'll freely admit. Ma... Read Full Review

Commandos 2: Men of Courage

The best of the series - no doubt

This game is arguably the best of the series. I was immediately in love with the first game when I played it over a decade ago, but once you really get into it, it's just unforgivingly hard. This game really kept tha... Read Full Review

Deus Ex: Human Revolution

A reboot of a gaming classic, ten years later.

I would think this game a hard one to relate to if you didn't play the original when it came out. Fortunately for me, the original Deus Ex was released right at the height of my gaming experience, a little while after Ha... Read Full Review

Fallout: New Vegas

Tried some new things, some worked

Since the beginning of Fallout, whoever is producing it at the time seems to sit down, think of 50 great ideas for the game, actually implement 30 of them, and make about 15 of them work. That's exactly how this game ... Read Full Review

Brink

Average to the last

As often happens with games like this that are so incredibly over-hyped and over-advertised before their release, this game turned out to be startlingly mediocre. If you're not familiar with the setting, it's a fairly... Read Full Review

NBA 2K11

The pretty new shine wears fast in this game.

Despite quite a few glaring flaws, I really enjoyed NBA 2k10. There were some things in it that annoyed the hell out of it, but I was able to push through the bad parts and ended up enjoying it a lot. I was glad for th... Read Full Review

Death to Spies

Hitman knock-off through the eyes of a WWII Russian spy.

I am definitely attracted to this kind of game. After reading the Gamespot review on this thing a few years ago I knew I had to try it at least once. So when it came around on the Steam bargain bin sales, I picked i... Read Full Review

NBA 2K10

Could have been a lot better.

Downloaded this on Steam when it was on sale a while ago, and my first reaction to the game was pretty positive. Unfortunately it went downhill pretty quickly after that. I'm always attracted to sports game with any ... Read Full Review

Mount & Blade

Don't miss this one.

How do you rate a game? How do you give it a "score"? I'm sitting here looking at the 6.0 that this game got from Gamespot, and it's that same 6.0 that kept me away from it for so long. I can kind of understand wher... Read Full Review

Final Fantasy Tactics: Shishi Sensou

A portable version of one of the best games ever.

I was very upset when I found out that the PSP players got this, while the NDS guys were stuck with Final Fantasy Tactics A2... a mere shadow of this classic. Simply put, I basically bought a PSP to play this game, and ... Read Full Review

BioShock 2

Another dark chapter from the Under the Sea hit series

After being a hold out for the first Bioshock game, I totally fell into the luscious storyline, and seductive game play of this one's predecessor, the original Bioshock. So of course, when this one came on sale on Stea... Read Full Review

Team Fortress 2

Another awesome shooter from Valve.

If Day of Defeat(and :Source) is the "semi-realistic" WWII shooter in Valve's repertoire, and Counterstrike:Source is the "doesn't make an attempt at realism modern day shooter", then Team Fortress 2 is Valve's crazy, of... Read Full Review

Akumajou Dracula X: Gekka no Yasoukyoku (PSOne Books)

Gamespot hit the nail on the head, possibly the best 2-D side-scroller ever.

I heard a lot of flak tossed towards the game over the years, mostly by people who had never played it a single time in their life. Well actually, 100% by people who had never played it. It was a 3D enhanced 2D game in... Read Full Review

Brigandine

A seriously underrated, overlooked game.

I had never even heard of this game until I got it as a part of a random game swapping deal when I was in high school, years and years ago. I was originally turned off of the game by the sheer difficulty of it, and some... Read Full Review

Final Fantasy Tactics (PSOne Books)

One of the, hands down, best Final Fantasy games ever.

This game was such a surprise to everyone when it came out, myself included. The class system, the movement/attack + turn based combat, the 999/999 health system as opposed to the 9999/9999 system. It was, in many rega... Read Full Review

Hitman: Blood Money

A great addition to a great series.

I dabbled in the first two hitman games, then played the third like crazy, and finally picked this one up a few years ago. Hitman: Blood Money, to me is the best in the series, drawing on and staying true to all the g... Read Full Review

Cryostasis

Fun and bugs in the land of ice.

This game immediately caught my eye while I was snooping through the Steam online store one day. The name first of all, then the storyline according to the review. I picked this up immediately and began playing throu... Read Full Review

Killing Floor

Yet another mod that made it on the market

There are always those games that become as big or bigger than the engines they were designed off of, sometimes even becoming popular enough to start charging people to own them. Day of Defeat is another great example o... Read Full Review

Gothic 3

A game that could have been every bit as good as it failed to be.

I played the demo for this and was amazed. At first glance the game is somewhat akin to a third person Morrowind/Oblivion game set in a not entirely dissimilar world. There is no visual customization to your charac... Read Full Review

The Lord of the Rings: War of the Ring

Not particularly good or bad.

I played this game when it came out a few years ago, already having had quite a few years of the Warcraft and Starcraft series firmly under my belt, as well as most of the already present at the time Command and Conquer ... Read Full Review

Star Wars: Empire at War

One of the best Star Wars RTS games available.

"Solid" is a very apt description for this game. Many companies have made attempts at Star Wars themed RTS games over the years (Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds, and Force Commander to name two), with varying succes... Read Full Review

BioShock

The complete package.

For reasons that aren't fully explainable I didn't get around to trying this game until it had been out for over two years... : However, I have seen the error of my ways, and I urge those of you that haven't had a sit d... Read Full Review
