Portal 2 is an accessible, clever, and downright hilarious adventure into the eccentric world of Aperture Science.

After the outlandish setting, ingenious gameplay, and hilarious dialogue had all run their course, Portal left you with some pretty big unknowns. Chief among them were, "What happens now?" and "How did that whole weird situation come to pass?" Portal 2 sets out to answer these questions, and in doing so travels both forward and backward from the conclusion of Portal. The result is a sequel that doesn't try to replicate the successful formula of its predecessor. Rather, it expands upon that original experience, creating something that feels initially familiar. Yet as you progress through the enthralling single-player journey and tangle with the clever cooperative campaign, any worries that things might be too familiar are swept away by the scope of your adventure and the characters you meet along the way. Once again, you are caught up in the fantastic world of Aperture Science, where hilarious and endearing dialogue is delivered by disembodied voices and artificial intelligences, and where inventive gameplay mechanics and a smooth difficulty curve make the sublime satisfaction of puzzle solving accessible to all.

Just Cause 3 makes no apologies for its outrageous nature. It's a power fantasy in every sense of the phrase, placing you in a world rife with destructible environments and giving you creative instruments with which to destroy them. There are intermittent technical problems, and scripted moments detract from the freedom found elsewhere, but in the end, Just Cause 3 provides a spectacular, explosive sandbox experience.

The plot revolves around returning protagonist Rico Rodriguez, who's arrived in the fictional Republic of Medici during the height of Sebastiano Di Ravello's military dictatorship. The story here is forgettable, but delivers an effective invitation: dozens of military installations cover the world map, and it's your job to blow them up for the rebel forces.

Rodriguez himself is a mashup of masculine action stars and comic book characters, so it makes sense that I often felt like a superhero in his shoes. By supplying you with a wingsuit, parachute, and grappling hook, Just Cause 3 gives you an effective means of transportation, as well as a smooth, nuanced traversal system.

There is a steep learning curve, but with practice, I was leaping from helicopters, gliding through enemy bases, and floating over farmland with ease. It's thrilling to leap from a cliff, free-fall for 10 seconds, grapple to a nearby rock, and use the momentum to launch back into the air with parachute deployed. Rico actually felt like a hero learning his new skillset. It's as if Avalanche Studios combined Batman, Spider-Man, and The Punisher, and thrust its creation into a vivid Mediterranean landscape.

The game is a bit better than css, but still nowhere near CS1.6.
Great graphic improvements:texture, models, shadows, etc...But then there's a "little" problem.It makes the Ts and Cts look alike, and i usually mistook my enemy for my teammates.
The ambient sounds are realistic,but quite irritating, especially the inferno map. Chickens just running and clucking everywhere, which caused distraction in a stressed match.
The weapons feels the same, just like Source, and the new weapons aren't really impressive(the molotov grenade is good though). The damage of the weapons is more balanced. Now the M4 doesn't have a silencer anymore (a letdown), but still lacks power compare to the AK47,which is still as strong as ever, despite it's higher price.
What disappointed me the most is the local server creation. The game doesn't allow me to create my own local server anymore, but instead force me to play in already existed game modes, so i can't set the money amount, # of bots, freeze time, etc... so i can't train my skills like i previously did with previous CS versions.
The spray paint is removed. In fact i never expected it to be removed since it's harmless to the gameplay, but...well.Hope valve will return this feature in the future.
Overall, CS GO is not a bad game to play. But it has removed a lot core factors which makes CS, CS. Valve added some unnecessary things to the game and it affects the gameplay like distracting ambient sounds and confusing enemy/teammates distinctions. CS1.6 is old and needs a successor, and CS GO is not a true successor like i expected it to be.

I played S.K.I.L.L. 1 year, and now i dont can login. :( Why??? :(
