Fear 2: Project Origin - 7.5 / 10
I'm not really one for First Person shooters anymore (or horror games for that matter). Maybe back in my Duke3D & Unreal Tournament days, but I'm pretty much over it. This however was not bad. Like the first one, I didn't have much hope for it going into the game, but the story keeps me interested. Again, for some reason, the game reminds me a lot of Half Life and seeing that I only paid R33 for it, I almost feel like a thief. Moving onto FE3R next.
No guts, no glory, no brain, same story.
Ghost Recon Future soldier 80%
I enjoyed playing this game, but I got bored at around the ninth mission and played The Witcher 2 instead of this. I tried Ghost Recon again and I liked it. The game is kinda repetitive and the cutscenes don't look that great IMO. There were a few glitches in terms of AI. The story is forgettable and the ending was meh. I tried Guerilla mode, it's great but I don't like how you have to make sure enemies don't enter the "safe zone". (Afrikanns spoken in the Nigeria map=WIN). Not the best shooter around, but worth a playthrough
Dungeon Village (iOS) - 7/10I like the theme and concept; it's the closest I'll come to another "My Life as a King"game, but it's lacking something. There's just something a little meh about it, but I'm not sure what.
Lollipop Chainsaw 8/10. Awesome, awesome game, but not for everyone. Like all Suda 51 games you are either going to love it or hate it. The singleplayer campaign is short, but the game should be seen as an arcade game that you can replay to unlock additional costumes, music, artwork, etc. You can also play the game in ranking mode and try to get on the leaderboards. Humour is brilliant and by the end of the game I felt a really strong connection with the characters, especially Nick. It might not have the best visuals or smoothest gameplay, but it is a lot of fun to play and I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard playing a game.
The Witcher 2-90%
I read reviews about this game and I couldn't wait for the xbox port. In order to ready myself, I read info on the witcher 1, the books, some of the major characters and even the geography of the fictional world. All worth it.
The game can be hard at times and expect some frustration, even when you're facing two enemies. The combat is almost like Assassin's creed on steroids. The story is amazing and thrilling with a possible 16 endings! Some of the things mentioned can be confusing (like the places), but you'll probably understand later in the game.
The visuals received a downgrade for the xbox version. Texture pop in is undeniably high and the framerate isn't the best (luckily my tv has motion flow) , but the game still looks pretty good.
What I didn't like about the game: The inventory system is pretty bad, some things are left unexplained, minor glitches (enemies vanishing, enemies not moving/responding making them easy to kill) and the difficulty can be harsh.
I recommend this game to all the gamers who like mature RPGs, get this game please! Help boost the sales, so I can play The Witcher 3
Mass Effect 3: 8.5/10
Despite not having the chance to play ME3 as it was released and having to hear all about the spoiler-filled ending(s), I still gave it a try (3 months later) Needless to say I enjoyed the game very much, it was a lot of fun to play through such an invigorating story. I noticed much improvements in gameplay and to be honest - playing as Shepard again was great! All I can say is that this game is excellent and highly recommended. It has a great story and fantastic gameplay.

Ghost Recon Future Soldier: 7/10
Not a bad game, future thing working kinda and gameplay definitely up there but it wasnt fun or fluid enough if you know what I mean. Felt like I was playing tactical game half the time and geek roadshow other half.
SiN Episodes: Emergence - 7/10
I owned this on Steam for years, but finally got a chance to play it. Quite enjoyable, not great, but enjoyable for what it is. It's just too bad that there won't be any more.
Diablo 3.... I give it a 75%... because once i got to the end of the story, I was over replaying it just for new difficulties, as once I knew the story it got boring...
Other than that the gameplay, classes, art and cut scenes were superb and worth the price.
Portal 2: 10/10
Loved the story, had tons of LOL moments and had a blast playing it.
