A city builder as zany as the charactures of your advisors, but with an excellent amount of depth that will you have thinking critically about your development decsions. Will you turn your Island into a tropical paradise, or pump up that Swiss Bank account? Viva El Presidente!!!

Have you ever played a Battlefield 2 mod called Forgotten Hope 2? If you loved the infantry gameplay from that, this is probably essential for your library. The graphics are dated, but the team play is rewarding. The gun animations are some of the best I've seen, that even go beyond some AAA shooters.

It's aracadey, it's ridiclious, and it's full of awesome fun! The return of multiplayer brings back a true classic in the Star Wars franchise. From noob to pro, you'll feel like a hero in aciton. The game rewards risk and experimenting quite well. Ever tried taking out a tank, with a mine attatched to a speeder bike?

While it's a shame with the lost of Game Ranger support, hopefully we'll be seeing some dedicated servers in the future!

Political intrigue, underground societies, mutated abominations, and ghosts lurk around every corner. Expect a thrilling post apocalyptic adventure through the heart of a ravaged city. The only downside, it needs some added Cheeki Breeki.

The definitive Star Wars RTS, and one of the all times best Sci fi stratagey games ever made. With the return of multiplayer, there is a breathe of new life for this classic game. Hopefully we'll see future entries into this awesome RTS title!

The King of WW2 stratagey. You're no true RTS player if you haven't played COH.

I'm not much of a fan of cats, but with that said this is a very fun rpg. The game play is very approachable, even for a younger kid. The story itself initially comes across as a generic plot involving your missing sister, however there is a surprsingly good twist in the plot.

To complete the game, as in leveling up there character to 99, expect to play around 7-8 hours.

My only gripe is, while it is indeed a short game, with a lot of cleverness intertwined, I wish some of the side quests were more diversified. I felt there were a a bit too many fetch quests. That said though I still recommend this title, especially if you're a cat lover.

Hoping for a sequel that involves doggos!

Have had this sitting in my library, and finally got around to playing it. No regrets.

Pros:

-Beautiful soundtrack, and matches every scene and action. From running through a sunrich valley filled with wildlife, to sparking down a railtrack at increasing speeds through an abandoned military base each score invokes the feeling you come to hope.

-Response suit. Obviously the highlight of this game is the LEAF suit you wear. The parkour feels satisfying, and the movements are accurate to your input.

-The envrionment. The is a beautiful world. A mix of nature, ancient ruins and abandoned military facilites keep everything very diverse.

Cons:

-It's a fairly predictable story. It does not mean it isn't entertaining, as the voice actors do a good job at delivering their lines, it's just you've probably have come to see this type of plot more than once.

-It's a rather short adventure. There isn't a lot of incentive to go back and find all the medallions unless you really want to uncover every last plot detail and upgrade. Expect anywhere between 4-5 hours for the story, but the good news is the whole of that has a lot action going on.

Ever played the old Army Men games likes Sarges Heroes? If you liked those, then this is a must have! The world feels like it's something out of Toy Story movie, and the 3rd person gun play is satisfying with good hit detection. I hope they instal further entries with a single player addition/story.

The developers recently put out an update. Even with a dwindling player base, so kudos to them! A couple of notes of the developers are reading the reviews. Sandbox is a nice change of pace with the added vehicles, however they're a few problems. Being such a large map, they are essential to it, yet if anyone abandons it all the enemy team needs to do is not blow it up, and your team is left without any sort of transport. Adding a timer to when it'll self-destruct, and respawn should solve this.

A very quick, and enjoyable story. The graphics are very charming, and the piano music sets the tone very well. If you're into visual novels, this is worth checking out.
