Last game I played and completed was GTA V. Having not been a big GTA fan in the past (having only rented a few of the earlier titled to mindlessly fool around), the promotional trailers for this one caught my interest and I decided to purchase it upon release. It took me around 3 months to finish the entire campaign and all side missions with only playing every other weekend (due to my hectic work schedule). I will say I was quite blown away by the game and officially understand what all the fuss is about. The attention to detail is incredible and I often spent entire days not really progressing much with the main campaign as there is just so much to do. 10/10 for sure and will definitely be purchasing every new GTA in future!

Awesome client with a good community. Until you hit a rating and then certain things become expected.
I can't stop playing matches so I have to give it a 9/10. One of the best rts games I have ever played just wish cnc evolved to this level.

And that is exactly why it should be announced on PC really really soon, my mouse pointer is already on the pre-order button

Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter
Ah Serious Sam. Brings back memories. I remember at some stage when I was younger I played this and really struggled with it. Now it's not that bad. Tons and tons of enemies coming at you and you shoot them. A simple concept and it's not a game that will win awards but it does have its appeal.

Right, just finished NeverWinter Nights 2. When I first tried to play this game upon release my PC could barely handle it. Upon finishing it now I realise my old PC had done me boon of note. This game is terrible. And it isnt terrible just because it is innately bad(which it is); however it's main fault lies in the fact that literally everything about it is the very definition of mediocrity. It's almost like they took every RPG trope available to man; chopped them up; added panda shit and served it up piping hot.

Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands.
This is a difficult game to review. See, I loved the Prince of Persia trilogy. Each of the games had some flaw but the story was rich and games were filled with atmosphere and excellent puzzles. Then came Prince of Persia (4) and it was a cartoony thing where you couldn't die. I enjoyed that one too even if not as much as the first three.
Now you get The Forgotten Sands. And truth be told you can see that they tried very hard with this game. You can see the polish and the hard work on the puzzles and environments. The game looks great. Some parts were truly spectacular. However. And I hate saying it, the game has no real character. No great story and no atmosphere. It's as if they tried but didn't truly understand how to do it. The game feels incredibly formulaic. Doing everything by the book but not understanding how it should all fit together.
It's short too and surprisingly easy. Though I'm happy with the easy part. I clocked it in 8 hours. The final battle bit was really fun and very pretty! But then the ending comes and even the ending bit after the credits were truly disappointing. The main character says some things and it sounds like he is going to continue but then he doesn't and suddenly it's back to the title screen.
They so almost had this game right! Some parts really were great but overall it was mediocre.
7.2

You obviously have not gotten onto the multiplayer yet...
As a competitive player the build quality and flow of maps is terrible, my graphics are also terrible which puts me at a huge disadvantage during gameplay.
My rating would have to be a 4.5/10

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons. (XBox 360)
There are some games out there that are must play games and this is one of them. It's outstanding. It's one of the most emotional games that I've ever played and it's one that I will most likely never forget. The ending was something to behold.
I really recommend that everyone plays this. It's short and it's amazing.

Fallout.
I was really excited to play Fallout 1 because I loved Fallout 2 back in the day. However I'm not going to finish it which is tough since I normally finish games that I start. The problem is that it's old. These days inventory and everything is so streamlined. I can't believe how old Fallout looks. The dialogue in particular feels so amateurish that I just can't believe it.
I'm rather just going to stop playing it. Luckily I got it for free from GOG. I can see that it was a great game back in the day but now it just doesn't cut it.
I'm not going to rate it.

Just finished Far Cry (3): Blood Dragon (again) and I have to rate it 9/10 (-1 point only because it feels a bit short - however still awesome). The mission structure itself is just fantastic and I seem to be getting even better at dispatching them silly fools after each replay (just wish there were more missions and more uber dragons for me to take on). Next up - Teslagrad (tried To The Moon however it's just not my cup of tea).

Bioschock Infinite - 9.9/10
It was a technical and graphical masterpiece with some very interesting combat (Loved the use of med-packs, no regen health). That being said I found the story to be great yet incredibly lackluster. People talk about the ending and it's mind fuck but pay attention to the story and take a few mins to think about it and it becomes a very simple ending in all honesty. No real mind fuck unless you really just can't figure it out by yourself.
So it was a near on perfect game but it's lackluster story just stops it from being that much more phenomenal.

.Batman: Arkham Asylum (PC) - 8.5/10
I know I'm late to the party, but the game was available on a Humble Bundle, so...
Right, this game lets you play as Batman, trapped on Arkham Island, where the Joker, through an elaborate scheme he has put in place months ago, has taken over the island. He has organised for all the inmates at Blackrock Prison to be transported to Arkham Island as well, so he's not alone.
Since the beginning of early consoles, people have wanted to be Batman. Batman on the NES was good, on the SNES, not so good. But this version of the game REALLY let's you be Batman! Bat Claws, Batarangs, Explosive Gel and of course, swooping in with your giant cape to absolutely terrify the enemies.
The game is presented as a 3D, third-person action game, with some stealth elements. The storyline is reasonably linear, but the game allows you to revisit locations as often as you want, if you are going to try and look for those illusive clues that the Riddler has left around the place.
The best aspect of the game though, is the free-flow combat system. Rocksteady Games have designed a system that allows you to fluidly move, punch, counter-attack and dodge enemy attacks in a combat sequence. It might seem strange at first, but the system becomes second nature to you. Before too long, you will be taking on 10 enemies at a time, moving between them, taking them out without getting hit once. I cannot describe the feeling of satisfaction I get when I finish a big fight and I look at all the unconscious bodies around me. I usually look down and in my deepest Christian Bale voice, I say: "I'm Batman". Yeah, it's sad, I know.
The storyline is a little convoluted, but it is after all based on a comic book. I constantly felt the need to progress the story, and that is a good thing.
The cast includes some famous villains like Killer Croc, Scarecrow and Bane. The voice acting wasn't too bad either.
All in all, a very, well-rounded action game that I can highly recommend.
Now, to get started on Arkham City

I think this game will actually be fun if I can play it. Unfortunately it crashes to desktop every 5 minutes.
I'm not the only one with the problem and unfortunately it looks like all development on the game has ceased so there's no foreseeable patches. Requests for help has been ignored through the official support channels.
If this is how Paradox treat their customers then I will boycott their future games.
1.0 until they fix it.
