Brief review:2015. August 11.
One of the most re-playable games in history....There is just SO much to do here, so much to explore and so much to listen to. Everything scream high production value and a labour of real love and research into the period and place this game is set in. You can go boating, fly around in a jet pack, go hiking, ride a motorcycle, get your haircut, get a tattoo, blast rival gang members, play basketball, get fat, get skinny...10 years later there still is not a game that packs in this much stuff.

Brief review:2015. August 06.
There is a very good game here if you can get over the flaws. Stalker was a very buggy game at first release, updating to the latest patch is a necessity and even then there are still bugs such as long transitions and load times and some draw distance issues with texture pop in. All that aside it does pay off if you are patient, this is a very deep and rewarding game with an excellent atmosphere and deep gameplay. It is very unique and worth a play through.

Another year another Call of Duty game. What to say thats already not known? Sure the production value is high but it feels a little soulless to me. Its very linear, the story cliche' and predictable...so whats to like then? Well the high production value guarantees good graphics, great sound, tight gameplay and an overall polished game. Just don't expect anything refreshing.

Day of Defeat: Source
Release date: 2003. May 06. (PC)
Brief review:2015. August 06.
A multi-player FPS for those who like a little more of a learning curve. Like they say, easy to learn but difficult to master. This game may have aged but it has aged like a fine wine, using the Source engine it not only still looks good but it is very scalable and can be played on nearly any modern hardware. The gameplay is tight yet offers more challenge and realism (weapons have recoil) and in my opinion this is what gives Day of Defeat more lasting appeal. I've been playing for 9 years.

Brief review:2015. August 05.
This may come off as a simple game in terms of gameplay and art design to newer players but for a gamer thats been around a few years there is a lot to admire here. Apart from the graphics engine, which was the best there was when it was released, there is not much else in terms of innovation. This game does however offer super tight gameplay and awesome music to go along with its super visuals to deliver a riveting old school trip through hell on Mars.

This game has been crafted with the love and care of real fans of the Batman franchise for fans of the Batman franchise and it shows in every faucet of this great title. From canon to visuals and gameplay to voice acting, this is a top tier game that is definitely worth your time, especially if you are a Batman fan....and even if you are not.

Brief review:2015. August 05.
Originally developed for mobile platforms, recently transitioned to PC and Mac via Steam, this is reflected in its gameplay with some elements clearly designed for using a touch screen. That said it still is a solid game on your laptop, it reminds me of Doom 3 both in visual style and gameplay.
I wouldn't pay more than $10 however
7/10
