Everreach: Project Eden
The outstanding storyline was the saving grace of this game.
So, what do you get when you cross between Nova Terra from StarCraft and Mass Effect – Everreach: Project Eden. Yes, when you look at this game basing on the advertised screenshots and clips, you really cannot help... Read Full Review

Sniper: Ghost Warrior
As far as a realistic sniping experience, it has a lot of room for improvement.
I put it out there – I suck at sniping. I rarely play a sniper during multiplayer games as my aim is way too slow and besides, no matter how long I aim, I usually miss. Single player is a bit of an exception as you... Read Full Review

Risen
Feels like a copy / paste job (from Gothic 1) with a game breaking bug added for “good” measure.
Soon-to-be hero gets washed up on an island with little background story to tell. Looks around, sees a branch and a couple of oversized chickens (sea vultures) lurking about. Also, he noticed another survivor, a woman. H... Read Full Review

Play it for the action and not for the “role-playing” and all should be fine.
The future certainly bleak no matter where we see or read it. Whilst arguably, global warming is the current “hot topic” (excuse the pun), there are other factors that screams out “Save our Planet&rdquo... Read Full Review

The Fidelio Incident
Play it for the experience as, after all, life is a collection of experiences.
Way back in 2007, an unexpected yet excellent game “Bioshock” from 2K took the gaming genre by storm. For me, what sold it was the narrative as it fooled me right from the get-go as I blamed it on “Cons... Read Full Review

DARK (2013)
The game plays upon a little too much ‘stereotypical’ ideas and not enough innovation to stand out.
Wouldn’t it be cool to play as a vampire and using stealth tactics to lure your victims into submission? After all, vampires are (in a ‘typical’ sense) are tailored for this type of strike as they can t... Read Full Review

Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix
It’s all about blowing body parts to bits, and this game does this a little too well.
Let’s face it – Soldier of Fortune (2000) was an awesome game due to its ‘Ghoul’ technology. Stuff where you can blow people’s arms / legs or even his head off and yet giggle like a small ch... Read Full Review

The game lacks imagination as it seems that the product was rushed to capitalise the booming computer gaming market.

Dead Island: Riptide
Riptide still produces a lot of fun and fans from the previous Dead Island game will love this.
Dead Island (2011) was a surprise hit for me as the ‘world-at-large’ was still in amazement of Call of Duty many versions of zombie maps or even Left for Dead’s run-from-the-zombies-mayhem series. Howev... Read Full Review

Questron
As far as first attempt goes, SSI snatching up Questron was a reasonable move on their behalf.

One-on-One: Julius Erving and Larry Bird
If you are a fan of debating gameplay over graphics then there’s no other game to prove that point.

Being an average port (comparing to other ported games) and even lost some of its functions does a disservice.

As far as a maze / chase games are concerned, this one adds a certain twist that manages to stand out in the crowd.
