I rate it highly, the guy you play as is a bad ass of note! Emotionless cyborg type.
Excellent story, graphics and atmosphere. Quite similar to Crysis 2 with regards to combat.

Hammerfight. An indie that exceeded my expectations. Basically you control a flying vehicle that you move around with the mouse - to this vehicle you can attach hammers, chains, blades and even cannons which get flinged around as you move your vehicle. It's a simple but nifty concept as long as you get your mouse sensitivity correct, if not it becomes very, very frustrating.
What I didn't expected was a campaign that I found entertaining and kept me hooked despite the diffculty spikes.
All in all I'd give it an unexpected 8/10. Others will probably disagree but I'm basing it on how much fun I had playing the game.
Alan Wake - PC - 10/10
This was a great game. I can't really point to something that bugged me or that was bad, so I suppose I have to give it full marks.
Fifa 10 -Xbox 10/10
Great game for me, interesting and is fun to play and quite challenging which I love, hate things which are too easy :D.
Assassins creed Revelations - PC 6/10
It was quite buggy. Story was pretty interesting when I got about half way. The start is just pretty boring imho.
Forza Motorsport 3 - 8/10
Didnt like that it automatically changed your cars gears I prefer to do it myself, but overall fun game and easy to control the car compared to the NFS games on Xbox.
Dead Island 7/10
Not finished yet but kept me going back head bashing for the last week.
ummm... you can change the setting, you know? :)Quote:

Other than a few character model issues, the fact that the A button does too much and a few slightly infuriating boss encounters this title is by far one of the best games I've played in a long while. Dont let the negative feedback on the ending put you off, the 51 hours spent in the narrative far out weights the 15 minute ending.
Wow... very different to the sh*tstorm that's been brewing about the ending. (Don't tell me! :))Quote:

I guess i'll have to wait and judge for myself.
I am a lover of Hard Sci-Fi, IMHO, any other ending would have insulted the memory of Shepard. Plus, again IMO, any one that describes the disappointing ending of any game as "Soul Crushing" needs to get laid, ASAP. Could the ending have been better, sure but thats true of pretty much every story every written.Quote:

And now we've stooped to the level where we call people whose opinions we don't agree with virgins (not to mention that the 'you need to get laid' insult is pretty lame in itself).Quote:

Back on topic, though, I just 'finished' Minecraft. Yep, just killed the Ender Dragon, and let me tell you, tough fight was tough. :O
Game Dev Story (iOS) - I decided to give it a second play-through after completing Mega Mall Story (I miss Sim Tower...). After originally playing it I gave the game a 9/10, but I'm marking it down to a 7. It's a fun game, but there really isn't that much to do in it. I found myself trying to make 3 games a year to purchase licences for more expensive consoles, and so it continued.
Lego Harry Potter .. a fun game, a bit monotonous here and there, could do with sound .. gets tiresome .. enjoy playing it with the kids
get headphones or speakers maybe....Quote:

Why couldn't the other missions in the game be as excellent as this DLC mission? It feels even closer to Deus Ex 1 than the original Human Revolution game did.
Mass Effect 3. Great game. Super-crap ending.
92/100, minus 10 for the ending = 82/100
Skyrim- Xbox- 10/10.
180 hours and 1000 gamerscore. :)
Currently playing ME3, but last game I finished was Assassins Creed : Revelations (Xbox) - absolutely loved it, but the series needs a change as it's getting stale. Luckily Assassins Creed III looks to be that fitting change.
Skyrim (...almost entirely in 3rd person)
My first Elder Scrolls game.
8/10
I played 110 hrs and there's alot I haven't done (didn't even go to Dawnstar)
An extremely well put-together production but, for me, the main quest was a bit disappointing.
Coded Arms (PSP)
Best graphics I've seen in a PSP game so far, plus the loading times are lightning fast. The campaign could of been a bit longer though.
7.5/10
Mass Effect 1 (PC)
I've never been so engaged in a game's storyline as I as have in Mass Effect. The plot, your decisions and the consequences that drive the story, and the unique characters, form part of a recipe that will keep you asking for more. You take the best elements of the RPG and Shooter genres and you have one compelling game that draws you into a experience regardless of any preconceptions you may have had before.
There were moments in the game were I went, "Holy s**t! Did that just happen?!"
Considering the time-frame in which it was released, I was pleasantly surprised that it still maintains graphical prowess, technical and in it's art direction.
Conclusion: Try it and you won't turn back, it's just that good. It looks great, it plays great, it makes you think about your choices (rational or otherwise), and best of all, it's loads of fun. Mass Effect truly is a gaming gem.
9/10
Battlefield 3 (Single Player)...
Story was fine (Nothing that I haven't witnessed in movies etc). Can't say I hated it, can't say I loved it. Felt like CoD, BUT, with MUCH greater visual appearance and special effects. Shooting in the game; as per any other modern shooter out there. Voice actors were good, not Mass Effect or GTA (San Andreas & GTA IV) good.
Bottom line... If you're looking for a modern shooter with GREAT graphics and special effects and some awesome (now and then, cutscenes), and roughly about 6-8 hours of gameplay, then Battlefield 3 is for you.
Verdict. IMO
Gameplay - 8.5/10
Story - 6.5/10
Voice Acting - 6/10
Graphic Detail 9/10
Playability - 9/10
Patapon 3
10/10
Very addicting & lively~
Diablo2/LOD: 80/100
Only complaint I had was the jungle stage really got boring. Yes I finished it for the first time ever :D
Dear Esther: 75/100

Infamous (PS3)
8.5/10
Was a bit slow getting started but brilliant after 1st hour. First game I actively tried to get all trophies :D

Saints Row 3 9.5 out of 10. Would be the perfect game if the intended replay editor was included.
Yeah, better to play that before the Witcher.Quote:

Damn you withcher!
Witcher 9.5/10
Amalur 6/10
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning ... My word ... Started playing it a few months ago and just never got back to it. Hope I still have my save from my previous play session :wtf:
Love its cartoony style of gameplay. All colourful and vibrant.
Don't like how close the screen is to the player though, and the limited FoV as a result.
Other than that. Very nice game, in my opinion.
Indie game called Limbo, read some reviews and decided to get on Xbox Arcade. I think it's available on Steam as well and it's pretty cheap . Side scrolling puzzle game. Very simple dynamics but man it had such a great atmosphere. 8/10.
Witcher 2 - Enhanced (buggy) edition
Finished this on Friday. It has been over a year since I've last played the game so I'm not sure which cutscenes and missions are new but I don't remember the game crashing quite as often back then.
Anyway, even with all the issues, I'll still score the game a 9/10.
I've seen 3 different endings so far and I read somewhere online that there are a total of 16 different endings... amazing. Can't wait for Witcher 3.
Yeah Amalur is not very deep or big on consequences, but that's what I liked. I know The Witcher is gonna be awesome, but for now I'm enjoying the carefree play style of Amalur. I can think it's a bummer to play after The Witcher. Strange how timing makes a difference. Can I ask did you enjoy Skyrim? I'm finding common feelings amongst people who loved Skyrim, they dont like Amalur. I didnt like Skyrim at all so Amalur was great. Anyway, I'd say dont play it for a while but dont give up on it.Quote:

There are obviously some improvements (especially regarding recruiting assassins) but in some ways I felt that the game was a step back from what they had achieved in AC2 and Brotherhood. Nevertheless, still a good game I'll probably go for the 100% completion just because I feel I haven't played the game enough.
Alan Wake (PC)
I bought it with the current GOG sale. I've got to say that I'm really enjoying it so far. Loved the Stephen King quote at the beginning :)
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
Let's see... Great combat - for all three classes feels very badass and visceral, like a mix of RPG and hack-n-slash (but for the record - QTEs are still a complete waste of time). Most of the game's RPG systems work really well, particularly little things like how easy it is to re-spec and how merchants have unlimited gold (I'm looking at YOU Skyrim...) TONS of side quests, even right at endgame. Most of them are terribly dull, however, aside from the Guild missions which are fun. Art direction is great - at first I thought it was too simple and cartoony but it really works and I think it sets the game apart from others in the genre. The story seemed really interesting and promising at first, but really just fizzles out near the end. Overall it's a fun experience and worth a try.
I'd say 80%
Mass Effect 2, start with ME3, but since it felt like a new game, I decided to wait a bit. So playing Kingdoms of Amalur atm. Fun game. Gfx looks good for a cartoon style game. What I like most about the game is how I can change my attack style within a fight. With just 2 mouse buttons and Q to switch weapons, I am able to kill any enemy with timing and good combo-clickers.
Cant say the game is "over-the-hill" though. Since I dont have that long for it like I have with GW2 lol.... give more betas
I don't know if I reviewed these before:
Mass Effect 2
Much better than ME1. Has more action and less of the boring walking around and talking-definite win! Some things were better, some worse (medi-gel and obtaining minerals). Very good and judging by this, the hype for ME3 is understandable.
90%
Rage
Good shooting and racing, amazingly steady and smooth graphics. But the story...eish. I never cared much for the player character and the ending was extremely disappointing. Was pretty good for it's genre, it was different from the rest and longer than expected. Took me 18 hours to finish, which is good for a FPS.
75%
Games that must still be finished: Mass Effect 3, The Witcher 2
