Dark Souls

THIS is why I am a gamer!

"Dark Souls" is a perfect example of what happens when a developer decides to spend time, effort and focus on good game *design*. All the tessellation and morphological anti-aliasing in the world isn't going to save a po... Read Full Review

Titan Quest

This game has that "oomph" quality that a lot of other hack-'n-slashers don't! Pure digital crack!!

All right, a painful admission first; I never "got" the Diablo games. I played the first's demo, and played through the first act of Diablo II before becoming hugely bored with it. For all the dungeons and monsters, ther... Read Full Review

Brink

The only real innovation here is in the character cuztomization.

...and that's about it. Really, when you look at this coldly, it's another one of those "Log in, die fast, die often" shooters. It's got incredibly intricate levels which allow for flanking from so many sides that yo... Read Full Review

Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures

The criticism this game received was mostly justified when it launched. <br /> <br /> NOT anymore.<br /> <br /> (Loo

I'll start this off by saying that I don't personally care if you decide to play Age of Conan after reading this. If I'm writing this, it's as information only. Make up your own mind, yay or nay. Now then, having said... Read Full Review

Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance

Computer games- even RTS -are not supposed to be frustrating.

I'll keep this brief. In fact, extremely brief. Forged Alliance is far too convoluted, busy, and difficult. I can accept a learning curve (going from, say, old-school C&C to Company of Heroes, for example) but this is... Read Full Review

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II

Incredibly fun, ridiculously bombastic, bloody fun!!

No, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II doesn't feel like your typical RTS...and that, my friends, is a good thing! Did we really and truly want another "Build, Harvest, Amass and Rush" game? Let's leave that to Starcraft I... Read Full Review

The Witcher

Magnificent story, quests, graphics, music and stellar combat...held back by a clunky camera and interface.

I was going to write a detailed review of The Witcher a few days ago, overwhelmed by how immersive and just plain *fun* this game was. For the first time in ages, here was a game I was thinking of on my way to work...at ... Read Full Review

Dead Space (2008)

Fabulous graphics, sound and atmosphere...but atrocious, DEEPLY flawed and frustrating controls and camera.

I've barely scratched the surface of Deadspace (in terms of time played), and yet I'm already suffering from Buyer's Remorse. Had I known that such a stunning looking and sounding game was going to be saddled with consol... Read Full Review

World in Conflict (Collector's Edition)

A great &quot;twitch&quot; action game for those into that sort of thing...but the word &quot;strategy&quot; has got to

To the point; I haven't bought the game, and I must thank the developers for releasing a demo so soon. I downloaded that, gave it a whirl, and know now that I won't be buying it. WIC is indeed beautiful to look at, bu... Read Full Review

Battlefield: Bad Company 2

Why do I bother buying these games?

If you're an experienced shooter fan, this game will be heaven for you. But if, like me, you're a casual shooter fan then avoid this game like the foulest plague ever known to man. This game shares, for my tastes, the... Read Full Review

Company of Heroes

Absolutely brilliant. This game is nothing if not the next plateau in RTS games; the one all others need to surpass!!

I read a print review (in PC Gamer I think) that listed &quot;Too much to mention!&quot; as one of the PROS of Company. That's pretty much my feeling as well; there's just so much that they've done right with this game ... Read Full Review

Mage Knight: Apocalypse

There's a decently fun (if unremarkable) game under those odd design choices....

I haven't played much of this game yet, but already I can feel that, in its current state, I'll probably never finish it. Then again, I thought Fable was dreadfully dull, so take my opinion how you will... The biggest... Read Full Review

Star Trek Online

Not only is STO "just a shell of a game"...but the shell is cracked.

I'll keep this brief, because the Gamespot review basically touches on everything I found wrong with the game. If it's remotely relevant, consider this; this is the first MMO (it doesn't really deserve to be called a MMO... Read Full Review

Quake 4

Agreed...NOT revolutionary, but sometimes old-school just plain RAWKS!

Simply put, Quake 4 is packed with what I like about shooters; it puts me in peril, gives me an enemy and a good reason to kill 'em, and then LETS ME GET ON WITH IT!!! No keycards to look for. No carpal-tunnel indu... Read Full Review

Mass Effect

The first-ever Bioware RPG to leave me feeling underwhelmed and disappointed.

The Baldur's Gate games were stellar. I enjoyed Neverwinter Nights. I loved its sequel. I absolutely devoured both Knights of the Old Republic games (even if The Sith Lords wasn't really a Bioware game, it was still addi... Read Full Review

Resident Evil 5

Too difficult for newcomers to enjoy.

I should start by saying that this was my first ever Resident Evil game (I don't buy consoles and wasn't interested in earlier PC entries in the series). I don't know what it is about Resident Evil 5 but before even fini... Read Full Review

Battlefield 2

A complete waste of money!

This game is basically designed for those who play shooters exlusively. Unless you have spent the last few years playing Quake, Unreal, Counter-Strike and Half-Life for SEVERAL hours a day, your experience with Battlefi... Read Full Review
