Star Trek: Legacy
A fair game out of the box, but if you can wait for the fan-made mods and more patches it could be great.
I must admit that I was very tempted to buy this game as soon as it came out. I had been wanting a good Star Trek game for a while, and Legacy looked promising. Thankfully, I did not pre-order and waited for the reviews,... Read Full Review

The Saboteur
Mostly a stylized shooter, with limited stealth gameplay. Think Hitman series mixed with GTA3, but with mixed results.
The Saboteur was a decent diversion, though not quite what I expected. I'm a big fan of the Hitman series, and I thought that this game would be similar, given the title. While there are a number of stealth missions, the... Read Full Review

Mass Effect 2
Bioware outdid itself with this masterpiece. It's right up there with its classic Baldur's Gate series and KotOR.
I didn't play the first Mass Effect, so I'm new to this series. However, I have been a fan of Bioware games since Baldur's Gate, so I thought that I would give Mass Effect (ME2) a shot. Glad that I did. This is one of th... Read Full Review

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II
It saddens me to report that this is only a slightly above-average game and quite inferior to its formidable predecessor
I am a huge fan of the first Dawn of War (DoW). I consider it one of the two best video games ever made (the other one is Morrowind). Since I visit the DoW forums often and played the multiplayer beta, I somewhat knew w... Read Full Review

Universe at War: Earth Assault
Great game. Best RTS game to appear this year.
I learned about this game late in the development cycle. I am a huge fan of real-time strategy games, having played all of the major ones (Warcraft, Age of Empires, Dawn of War, Command & Conquer, Battle for Middle Earth... Read Full Review

Warhammer: Mark of Chaos - Battle March
A lot of unrealized potential, which is sad.
I really like the potential of this game. If the developers had put a bit more effort into this, this series could go toe-to-toe with the best strategy games out there. Of course, the problem is that the effort was a h... Read Full Review

The Witcher
I must say that I was pleasantly surprised by "the Witcher."
Given that this is a game from a little-known developer in Eastern Europe, I must say that I was pleasantly surprised by "the Witcher." It doesn't quite reach the heights of classics such as Morrowind or Baldur's Gate 2... Read Full Review

Neverwinter Nights 2 (CD-ROM)
Single-player campaign is better than the first NWN, but still buggy after a year of patches.
I waited a year before picking up this game and the expansion, Mask of the Betrayer. Since the initial release in 2006 had technical issues and other problems, I decided to get this game only after the expansion came ou... Read Full Review

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
As good as Morrowind, and better in some ways.
Morrowind is perhaps my favorite video game of all time. Thus, I eagerly awaited the sequel, Oblivion. In most ways, this game either met or exceeded my expectations. The developers took the reviews and fan feedback abou... Read Full Review

Dungeons & Dragons: Dragonshard
An innovative, ambitious game that delivers
It's always refreshing to see a game developer go out on a limb and try something new. Taking such chances has resulted in both great games and bad ones. However, Dragonshard is definitely a good game which nearly meas... Read Full Review

Baldur's Gate minus the charm
As a fan of the Baldur's Gate series, I decided to give Icewind Dale (IWD) a try. Unfortunately, Black Isles did not strike gold twice. While Icewind Dale is a carbon copy of their excellent Baldur's Gate games in many... Read Full Review

The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth II - The Rise of the Witch-King
Good expansion for a great game
This is an expansion pack that does what all expansions should do: it improves upon the original game and adds new content. While RotWK does not revolutionize the basic gameplay of BFME2, it is a worthwhile addition. ... Read Full Review

Condemned: Criminal Origins
Creepy, but could have been horrifying. Anyhow, worth a look.
I played the demo for this game and liked it a lot. It has a very chilling atmosphere, and I liked the serial killer story line. The retail game overall is worth a look if you are into first-person shooters and the horr... Read Full Review

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
Could have been great, but instead very frustrating
I'm a fan of the LotR's movies and really adore EA's Battle for Middle Earth 2. Return of the King has all of the earmarks of a great game, but is crippled by a few unpardonable flaws. I recommend it only to the most f... Read Full Review

Tron 2.0
A typical first-person shooter that remains faithful to the movie
This is one of those rare games that takes a movie franchise and turns it into a good gaming experience. I saw the original Tron movie back in the 1980s and really liked it. This game captures the spirit and look of th... Read Full Review

Warhammer: Mark of Chaos
A good game, but could be great
I've never played the table-top version of Warhammer, but this game seemed to be a fairly interesting take on the age-old elves, orcs, and dwarf formula that appears in so many games nowadays. I'm a huge fan of Relic's D... Read Full Review

The Movies
Great idea, decent implementation
The concept behind this game--make your own movies--is brilliant. And fortunately, there is enough material that comes with the game to make a wide variety of productions. The tools available in the "sandbox" m... Read Full Review

Fable: The Lost Chapters
Much better than I thought it would be
I hesitated a good while before picking this game up at a bargain price. Based upon various reviews and player feedback, I assumed that this game would be like 10 hours long, a bit buggy, and dumbed down. Fortunately, no... Read Full Review

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Dark Crusade
One of the best expansions made for any game
This is by far one of the best expansions I've played for any game. It might actually be the best. It not only adds two races to the existing five, but also offers new gameplay modes. And get this: it's a stand alone exp... Read Full Review

Resident Evil 4 (2005)
Surprising good horror/adventure game.
I wasn't expecting a lot from the game after learning that it was a port of a console game. Also, I hadn't played any of the past Resident Evil games. However, if you own a gamepad (especially an XBox 360 controller), R... Read Full Review

Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends
Mediocre follow-up to one of the best RTS games ever made.
I am a huge fan of Rise of Nations. It took the exciting real-time strategy formula of the Age of Empires games and perfected it. I was hoping that Rise of Legends would be a worthy successor, and on a few levels it is... Read Full Review

Star Trek: Conquest
In a sea of mediocre Star Trek games, this is a gem.

Just getting around to playing this game, and I'm sorry that I missed out on it for so long. One of the best RTS games.

Madden NFL 13
I've had some good fun with this game. I'm new to the Madden series, so I don't miss any past versions or features.

Medieval II Total War: Gold Edition
Great blend of RTS and turn-based gaming

Mass Effect 3
A worthy sequel, with an uninspired ending.
I was much impressed by ME2. It had a compelling storyline, great characters, catchy gameplay, and an epic feel. ME3 captures much of this, though it feels a bit more linear in telling and ends with a whimper. For anyon... Read Full Review

Clive Barker's Jericho
Not as good as Clive Barker's Undying, but some interesting team-based action and some disturbing content. Worth a try.
I greatly anticipated this game, since I had enjoyed Clive Barker's Undying a few years ago. Similar to many others, the mediocre reviews scared me away when Jericho was initially released. Still, after waiting for the... Read Full Review

Demigod
Not everyone will like this blend of RPG and RTS gaming, but I found Demigod a well-conceived mix of both.
I waited until the demo came out four months after this game was released before buying it. I was thoroughly convinced by the demo that there was something special about Demigod, but knew that the game would need to be s... Read Full Review
