My favorite games would have to be System Shock 2 and the Deadspace series. Mostly because I absolutely love Sci-Fi, but also because I like being equal to my foes. I like a few jump scares, some creepy environments, but when **** hits the fan I like to be able to shoot the monsters. I've...

One of Mass Effect's strongest points as a trilogy, one that it manages to retain in all three games, is doubtlessly its incredible soundtrack. It's one of the most immersive soundtracks that I know of, but at the same time, it is just as epic when you listen to it even when you're not in the...

Alien is an absolute classic. It brought us something completely unique, was well ahead of its time, and whilst nothing famously happens for the 1st 45mins, it is an absolute joy to explore the working world of 70's / 80's technology with a futuristic twist and the suspense really builds It's a...

Since a lot of people were worried about this I can say that, from the areas of the game I’ve played, it seems fine. It also seems appropriate/realistic. By Franklin's places theres mostly small groups of 3-4 people hanging about around the sidewalks. When you drive there’s a decent number of...

Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. It is extremely well-done and, as far as difficulty goes, it's taken me 12 hours to finish four missions. You have to really use stealth. Light, noise, distractions, it all counts. Enemies are REALLY smart and have no problem gunning you down. No regenerating...

AMD Phenom II X4 965 @ 3.4 Ghz 8 Gb of RAM 1 Tb HDD GTX 660 from ASUS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 Now aside from my PC, which has endured many a changes over the years, I feel compelled to mention that the chair that I use at the moment has been part of my "gaming rig" as a whole since I was in 9th...

Top of the list for me has to be the irradiated wasteland of Fallout 3 and to a lesser extent New Vegas, because well deserts already look like nuclear wastelands. Not to mention the massive potential for modding your game, almost turning it into something different, essentially putting more...

I literally cannot wait for this one to come out, all the Witcher games managed to take me in with their dark humor, mature encounters and the monster slaying. Even the first one when it came out in 2007, while not being the most notable game of that year, the spotlight being occupied by...

The difference in graphical fidelity between the E3 2013 version and the final product not withstanding, one-button hacking might be overly simplistic, but it does give you abilities that make playing through Aiden’s story feel powerful and fun. It basically makes you feel like a wizard or...

Personally I think the Wolfenstein franchise started to degrade with everything that came after Return to Castle Wolfenstein. I've seen multiple reviews of it and everyone of them praises the game on its creativity with regards to the "What if" quality it has, and the fact thats its one of the...

There is something more shinny and refined about those old PC games isn't there? even by today's standards compared to those console Mario and whatnot, they had something more, can't put my finger on it. In my case the jump from console games to PC games was much greater, but even if it wasn't...

Oh man... I was 6 years old when I got my Super Nintendo and shortly thereafter I was hooked. Continued playing on consoles while remaining ignorant to the PC as a gaming platform until I was in 5th grade (or thereabouts), when I saw my first game on the PC in an Internet Cafe. I think it was...

I think the perfect game can seamlessly incorporate both, too linear and you get easily bored, too open world and you get overwhelmed (Skyrim is a perfect example). For me the more important elements are the characters and the storyline, if the characters are interesting and make you care about...

I'm gonna have to say World of Warcraft. But for me it wasn't only the game itself that kept me playing, as much as the people I played it with. I suspect I wouldn't of played for 7 long years if I wasn't part of some community or another. So much so, that when all my friends quit the game I...

Surprisingly enough, The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct. Reviewers had a hard time giving this one the light of day. But even though the game itself isn't stellar, it has a set of basic mechanics that work well especially if you're a fan of The Walking Dead TV series. Theres just something...
