Infamous 2 - 9/10
Minesweeper, windows 8 edition.
8/10
Too flashy graphics for a mundane game.
Sleeping Dogs - Xbox 360
Decent game with an okay ish plot. Like most sandbox games it was at its best when you followed the missions, the side distractions where a little mundane and lacked variation but it was fun none the less. If you haven't tried it already be sure to grab it when it hits budget.
Diablo 3
8.5/10
Not to bad game. Just paragon system to late. And design in regards to MF/GF didn't take into account the effect of the AH on game play.
The way they did the skill does allow one to experiment but the problem comes in that skills might need a specified attribute on your gear to be affective. Like whirlwind for the Barbarian works well if one has lots of LOH. Thus leads back to the MF/GF problem.
Sould Caliber V: 6/10.
Not a bad game overall but the Japanese-style acting and bad voice over and translation gets to me a bit.
Nothing is permitted, everything is true.
Darksiders I - 8.5/10
Really enjoyed the game, it might be a bit repetitive but still an awesome game, I'd recommend to any Hack n Slash RPG fans.
Darksiders II 9.5/10. I loved everything about this game from the awesome art direction to the great voice acting and story, the awesome new character (and everything that entails), the added RPG elements and the awesome worlds to explore, etc. A really good tie-in story to the original Darksiders. I can easily recommend this to people who enjoyed the first game and hack 'n slash fans in general. It took me about 26 hours to finish, but I'm far from done. Already started my new game + on Apocalyptic and this time around I'm going for all the side quests and as much collectibles as I can find. It doesn't get a perfect score because the camera can get annoying at times and sometimes Death will jump in the wrong direction during platforming sections.
Dear Esther - I knew that this was not a game in the normal sense of the word, more like a journey of both storytelling and art. It took a while to get used to but I think I eventually got what the "game" is all about. The way that the recollections and the environment complement each other is great. And the environment! The Island is really the character that will stick with me, from the depressing moors to the astonishing caves.
One annoyance was that at times you noticed a brief stutter just before a part of narration, a bit immersion breaking but it either got better further into the "game" or I stopped noticing. So not a major problem.
As an experience I'd say 8.5/10
Retro Grade (PSN)
8/10
I'm not really a big fan of rhythm games but Retro Grade was actually pretty damn cool.
Field Runners 2 (iOS)
If you are really into tower defence games, this is a must play. The new fields are awesome and well thought out, the towers are pretty cool and have enough variety for different types of play styles, whether you prefer the single lane lazers or the awesome lightning / tesla style tower or the good ol machine guns. This game is addictive as hell and will definitely have you coming back for more.
I would give it 8.5 / 10
