Why do I have to start a new game with the limitations
of only being able to create games from 4 random genres.
I don't want to create Abstract, Comedy, Dystopian, or half
of the the other topics you force upon me whenever i begin
a new game. It's unacceptable. I have 147 hours of game
time so far, but most of it is starting over & over until I finally
get a few topics I want to make games about.
I can't give a positive review unless I can start a game
making the topics I want, not having them forced upon me.

It's Mega Man. 'Nuff said|!

This is not a game. It's a way of life.

If you like painting or drawing then this is for you.
You'll spend your time creating art and sharing it with the community.
Players can view and 'like' art created by others, as well as being able to
sell your art and buy masterpieces that have been created by others.
You can also take part in daily challenges that task you with creating a
painting based on a specific topic or word.

People with some real-life artistic talent may be discouraged by their
results when working with a mouse instead of a real brush or pencil,
but with practice and patience you can create some stunning artwork.
Optionally, you can also purchase pen-style mice designed for artists.

The UI is easy to navigate and understand, and the music is soothing.
It plays like an RPG version of an old Microsoft Paint program, trying
to simulate real painting, without the bells & whistles of programs like
Photoshop. There is no 'undo' button in real life.
There IS an 'undo' feature in this game, but using it will cost you
some of your hard-earned game-currency and respect points.
You'll need that in-game currency because you only start-off with
a basic brush and a few basic colors to use. New brushes, canvases,
and individual colors of paint have to be purchased, and the prices all
become exponentially more expensive as you purchase more supplies.
There's a reason they're called 'starving artists'.
Luckily, your brushes never wear-out, and your paints never runs-out.

As soon as I bought this game I quickly beat it.

Then, after recuperating, I actually tried the game.

I'm half-joking, but in all seriousness, it's not a bad game for the meager price.
It's not exactly a great game, but the setting is compelling and the female
protagonist is cute as hell. If you buy this game without high expectations
then you won't be disapponited. It's actually a pretty good game for what it is.

This happens to be the Steam-cleaned version of a game that is still available
on another Japanese site, where the game is simply being called "Mansion".

This is a good little 8-ball pool game, especially considering the low price & frequent sales.

The UI, top-down view, and the simple mouse control scheme make this game easy for anybody to pick-up and play, especially those who are accustomed to playing similar style pool games.

The game focuses on online multiplayer matches, but the community is relatively small and you may have trouble finding opponents during certain times of day. Fortunately, the game also features a single-player game mode, allowing you to play single games against a computer-controlled opponent. It also has a single player 'speed game' mode where the object is to simply sink all the balls as fast as possible.

The game features a handful of different tables to randomly play, and a multitude of different cues and custom balls that can be purchased with currency won within the game. These items can also be purchased through microtransactions, which may seem like it makes the game pay-to-win. Yes, all of the cues have different attributes that can make the game easier, but a good player can have great success with even the most basic cues. Fortunately, the in-game currency is not hard to come by freely, and the game also gives everyone daily random gifts & rewards for playing online matches.

Pool aficionados may be put-off by the basic nature of the game, but it's a great game for casual fans and unpretentious gamers looking for a fun way to waste a few minutes here & there.

Probably the oldest, yet arguably the best fishing game on Steam.
This gem was one of the Dreamcast's launch titles, and it's just as
much fun to play today as it was twenty years ago. The fast-paced
arcade-style gameplay makes for a much more thrilling experience
than most of the other point-&-click style fishing 'simulations' that
are currently available on Steam.

I'm giving this game a positive review because I'm a rabid boxing fan, and also because I want to encourage the developer to continue updating, improving, and polishing this rough diamond. The game has the potential to be a great boxing management simulation, but it currently has some bugs, crashing issues, and a lack of optimization options. On one hand the graphics, images, and UI leave a lot to be desired. On the other hand the game has a lot of depth and is easily customizable. Unfortunatly, the game currently only seems to run in a tiny window, and it currently has no options to enlarge it, run it full-screen, or mute the music. I'm hoping these and other issues will be addressed by the developer in the near future. To the developer's credit, they have already released a number of recent updates. It may sound like I should be giving this game a negative review, and maybe I should, but I'm optimistic. I have a fighter's mentality. You can always turn things around with one big punch, and I'm hoping the developer will keep punching those keys until the game is a knockout. It's still only the first round, though, and I might come back with a different decision at the end of the twelth.

Why am I playing this!?!

It manages to be engrossing despite it's simplistic, casual gameplay. Smash, saw, and recycle refuse with mouse clicks and movements. The repetitive gameplay stays interesting by slowly introducing more and more new objects to destroy, and giving you specific objectives to complete in order to maximize your score. You will find yourself coming back, time after time, trying to beat your own high scores

Unfortunately, the game is not optimized very well, and playing it requires a better computer than you'd expect for a game like this. I prchased the game immediately upon release, and it ran perfectly for me on the highest settings. Subsequent updates have made the game slow-down to a crawl only moments after starting a game. I can remedy this by reducing the 'physics quality' in the settings menu, but my system exceeds the recommended requirements so I don't think I should have to reduce the quality in order to play.

Turning down the 'physics quality' seems to result in the debris sometimes moving/reacting in odd ways. Does this give players with better computers a better chance to achieve high scores?

I'm giving this game a positive review despite my gripes with recent updates imparing the game's performance on my system.

F12 not only takes a screenshot, it exits the game.
And It's probably better that way.

Pros: The game is much better than you might expect! :)

Cons: The game is not nearly as good as you'd hope. :(

It's a side-scrolling, beat 'em up breast-fest, which plays
similar to old school games like Double Dragon or Final Fight.
The contols are serviceable, and the animations are passable,
but the game is not great. In fact, it's more 'grate' than 'great'.
It does, however, have a certain b-movie quality,
and, nipple-for-nipple, it probably features more bare boobs
than any other game in it's price range.

You might actually have some fun with it.
I'm giving it a 'thumbs up' but I certainly don't recommend it.

Don't believe the negative hype. This is a pretty good game. The complaints about the high-price might be warranted, but the complaints about the gameplay are mostly just the rantings of fanboys of other hunting games. The graphics are good, the animations are life-like, and the animal's AI is adequate. I have read complaints about the AI being dumb on the easier difficulty settings, and the high density of animals being unrealistic. I have only been playing on hard difficulty, and I have found it challenging to locate the correct species and land a perfectly-aimed shot. The user interface is straight forward and easy to navigate, and there is a number of graphic settings which can be modified to make the game run optimally for your system. Content wise, there seems to be a large amount of maps dipicting different geographic regions, many kinds of wildlife, and many different guns and equptment to unlock. There is no create-a-hunter or player customisation, but instead you are able to selct a pre-created hunter from a small list. That may be one of my only gripes with the game, but it's obviously inconsequential and not a deal-breaker. The game also supports xbox controllers, which some of it's competitors may or may not.
