Fallout 3 with a much more authentic story and a bunch of tweeks that remove annoyances.

Be wary of glitches and instability.

Still pretty fantastic. Felicia Day will follow you around as a steampunk punch-monk.

Mass effect in a D&D universe.

Solid package, especially here where the almost essential dlc is included. Kinda wears thin over time. Lovers of Neverwinter Nights or Knights of the Old Republic will feel very much at home here.

Take a bit of the fun from the original out but adds some things that were needed.

Playing this game stealthy and "smart" on the first playthrough is really annoying as the game constantly puts up blockers from progress on the stealth routes. For instance in many cases if you want to sneak through an area you will be forced to blow open a wall or pick up a vending machine, requiring skills that you would normally have NO REASON to invest in if you wish to be a stealth character, forcing you to either invest in a litany of useless skills and feeling handicapped, or buck the stealth playstyle you prefer and go guns blazing, often forfeiting the secondary objectives. There is intentionally not enough skill points in the game to become an all around character so you will always feel ill-at-ease and poorly equiped despite being ROBOCOP who should be able to do anything he pleases. Remaster adds a new game plus to midigate this, but wipes all save files so you will have to play through the game entirely once again for the pleasure of a clean stealth playthrough.

Solid package though, very crisp. Deals with concepts close to the modern world while still being sci-fi enough to scratch that itch. Character progression aside there isn't much to complain about, aside from Adam Jensen's rediculous stoicism and fetish for sunglasses.

Oh my god JC a bomb!

A BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMB!!!!!

Interesting in theory, mind meltingly boring in practice. This is a kids game that does not translate to adult audiences well.

The breast size slider goes from pancake to bean bag chair.

Played originally on the Xbox 360, so + about 30 hours game-time.

The lost and damned is a good entry if you like motorcycles or bike culture. Doesn't add much aside from a good story and some new bikes.

The Ballad of Gay Tony is essentially GTA 4.5 as it adds quite a lot of new content like APC's and military weaponry as well as a new story that ties off all the loose ends of the GTA 4 story quite well.

The only GTA game that spends it's first ten or so hours making you feel like a completely broke, helter skelter two bit thug who just can't get his life together.

Then you rob banks, get expensive cars and live the good life all because you killed a bunch of people. The message gets a little tangled.

Great fun, and according to the news the cause of 100% of the worlds problems without fail.

You've played this game already.

First person melee combat doesn't work too great, which would be okay but guns are almost never an alternative. Once plying the random number generator enough times to give you a decent weapon you may find yourself getting ahead and enjoying the game, but after the beach level tutorial, with it's rather gorgeous environment, the zombies begin to be less staggered by your attacks and become simply unfair, they can often attack you after being hit, before you can even hit them again, and that's if there is only one of them. "Special" zombies like exploding guys and bruisers (where as an excellent addition in left 4 dead) add little but frustration as they serve as roadblocks that tax your health and consumables before allowing you to move on. This isn't helped by the fact that the later levels are stark contrasts to the white sand beach, taking place in dirty, narrow street city slums caked in a brown colour, and cliched sewer levels caked in... something else.

Character backstories are incredibly depressing, don't expect any humor as this game actually tries to take itself very seriously. A lot of effort and budget is quite evident in this game, unfortunately the result was simply not enjoyable.

Another Assassin's Creed game!

I will never stop fawning about the masterpiece that is Assassin's Creed 2, and Brotherhood was a nice touchdown celebration/victory lap for all the fans of AC2. However, Revelations is the third game on the same character who already did all his most important stuff in AC2, and the pilot of that character who is now trapped in a recursive stack overflow and has to do unneccesary tasks to regain his body.

Gameplay is unchanged from AC2 and Brotherhood, with the exception of some horrible first person platformers that you can more or less ignore, and a tower defense game that you really only have to do once. Istanbul/Constantinople in the 16th century was an exciting place where cool stuff happened but you really don't get much of a feeling of that. The open sprawling area of rome where you can ride horses into battle in the streets is gone, the main characters have little to add and the ending that the entire game builds to from the end of the tutorial is little more than a rambling introspection.

In short, the game is good but is a pile of wasted potential.
