Sid Meier's Civilization V :: 9/10
I am a Civilization die hard. I have been an avid player since the second generation of Sid Meier's Civilization. The fifth generation is completely different to previous generations. No more stacking of units and only on unit on a square means that you have to be a lot smarter about how units are positioned. Consider that only one unit can be garrisoned in a city. Only one unit defending. Game play is turned on its ear.
Took me a while to get used to this, but I am really pleased I perservered and now I am enjoying it.
Finished inFamous Second Son last night, very much enjoyed it. 8 out of 10 for me. Did the good karma play through, and would like to do the evil karma one sometime.
Bioshock. The first one. put about 21 hours into it. The first 15 was fun, but then I got tired of it. Had to struggle to finish the game. Great, interesting story line though, and that kept me going till the end. I'd give it a 6.5/10
That's how I feel about Bioshock 2. The first 75% was fun and interesting, but the last bit became a chore - so much so that I never finished it.Quote:

Great fun at the beginning, and I tried to collect all the collectables (chests, relics, etc) as I went along. By the time I reached the second island I was tired of running after each little chest, while I didn't need the money (a bad habit of mine, I do the same to AC, although at least there my wallet isn't limited). When I refocused on the gameplay and the story progression, it was great. The absurd and abstract boss battles put me off slightly though.
Will definitely get FC4.
Tomb Raider (PC): 8/10
Loved the game, great balance between platforming and FPS with a decent story.
Without going into too much detail, cos I could talk about it for ages (or it would need a separate thread).
The Last of Us 10/10.
Creeper World 3.
I played a demo of CW2 a while back and it captivated me, I couldn't let go. So when CW3 was in a bundle I bought it without blinking. Only managed to start playing it within the last 2 weeks.Quote:
'For billions of years, empires rose to greatness. Each fell to the Creeper till none remained. Now all hope appears lost. Who will stand against the Creeper? Experience this extreme and massive expansion of the Creeper World franchise. Nothing will ever be the same… Massive maps, custom units scripting, terraforming, Gravatars? Can you handle the challenge?'
Originality 9/10
The game is basically a type of tower defense game. The difference is that the enemy doesn't have a set path it will follow to your Command Node. The enemy is called Creeper, and it behaves like a fluid, slowly flowing all over the map. Creeper has spawn points from where they flow.
You start the game with your Command node. You can build several offensive buildings like a Cannon or Mortar and defensive buildings like Shield or Sprayer. You can build these buildings anywhere, but they have to be connected to your Command Node to be built, and supplied with power or ammo.
You win each level by destroying all Creeper spawn points and picking up all necessary items like keys for next worlds.
Story line 6/10
The game had a very interesting story line with an interesting twist. It's not a very deep story, and I get the feeling that not a lot of effort has gone into perfecting it, but it is an interesting concept none the less. They tried at least.
Replay-ability 8/10
Each level has global ranking based on a score you get which is calculated according to the time you took to complete the level. I think someone managed to cheat because most levels has times of 20-40 seconds, where I took 20 minutes + to complete the level. Or, you know, I suck.
Besides the 20 odd levels in the story line, there are 100's of extra levels to play in different modes (haven't checked these out yet) then there are also community created maps. You can even create and play your own maps.
Difficulty - Easy to Moderate
This game is not hard. At all. I've finished 99% of the maps on the first attempt. There are some maps with time limits on them, and I did have to repeat one of those.
It took me 16 odd hours to complete the game. I can not believe how quickly those 16 hours went by. It felt like a 4-6 hour game. I enjoyed every moment of the game.
Final score: 7/10
Play it if:
You like TD games
You enjoy strategy games
You seek a sense of achieving something
Ignore it if:
You're looking for a deep story with great variety and that is influenced by your in-game choices.
