Honestly an astounding value

I've followed this games development for a while, and I've found the game to be both infuriating and addictive.

Definitely recommended

surprisingly good puzzle game

A great introduction to the formula of MGSV:TPP, but a bit short

Hitman 2 is the culmination of the other Hitman sequels, and shows that IO now know how to make a good Hitman game.

It provides a wild and varied environment, which allows for great emergent story telling, and gives the player as many options as they want to kill their targets.

Dev seems to have run, no end of development in sight.

Was caught up in the vision, it is no where near the level that was promised

Saints Row IV breaks all the rules, it is a great free roam game, the dialogue is excellent, however you find yourself doing the same thing over and over again, such as defend this position. I do recommend Saints Row due to its straight absurdness and fun, be warned though, it has no rules or limitations, so you are essentially god the whole way through

XCOM Enemy Unknown is a wonderful turnbased strategy game, The story is OK, and not that well explored, but it is not the focus, management of Panic levels, (i.e. if you choose not to help a country out of a selection the panic level increases, which increases difficuties and may lead to terror attacks), shooting down UFOs and exploring their remains are interesting. The actual gameplay (turnbased stategy) is well done, Fog of war is on and can vary from evacuating VIPs and saving civilians (by standing next to them) before they are killed, to just flat out kill the enemy. However the multiplayer is severely glitchy, also the disks do not cover 90% of the install so dont bother thinking about buying the disks, buy them online through steam sales

Super Meat Boy is a brilliant platformer. It is notoriously hard and requires tight co-ordination and combination, it is extremely challenging but rediculously fun, the soundtrack is amazing, but personally prefer buying it from bandcamp (as it gives FLAC and a deluxe version)

Great game, can't wait to see what Arkane studios will make next, mixes stealth and combat, has a 'paragon' system which affects the ending, which is nice
has great use of environment and abilities, while not being OTT, an easy recommendation
