Classic, looks nice at 1920x1200! Think I nearly broke my Dreamcast back in the day with the amount of time I put into it back in Christmas of 2000!

So far this IS NOT a F.E.A.R game and its not a good multiplayer game either. Looks horrible, performance is terrible and the game is just like every other CoD clone.

As someone who adores the first game and really enjoyed the originals Multiplayer its a shame to see this series fall so hard after 2 awful games and now an even worse FTP game.

They should of left the series after the first game because there is no hope for the series anymore.

The struggle to enjoy this game. As a long time Thief fan this just does not feel like Theif at all and even as a stealth game its not really that good either. From the boring level design to the audio engine which pales in comparison to Thief: Deadly Shadows, and the inconsistant A.I. its just a shame to see one of my favourite franchises hit this kind of low.

The story is like something out of a childs book and isnt very interesting and it doesnt do a good job of making you feel as if you are somewhere you are not meant to be unlike earlier Thief games, in this you just feel like an everyday petty thief.

Though I have only played 4 hours of it so far I just cant bring myself to play in long stretches unlike the previous games were they had me glued to my screen.

As of now its a no but if it gets any better the further it goes in then I will change my review.

What more can I say about this game that hasnt already been said? I remember back in 2005 getting my brand new PC with an AMD FX-57 CPU(Which I won in a competition), Dual Nvidia 7600GTs and 2GB of RAM. I was on a lull with PC gaming between 2000 - 2005 because I wasnt old enough to get a job and my Dad who was always into PCs for flight simulators he tended to have the latest and greatest hardware of the time but then lost interest in PCs so he wasnt really willing to keep upgrading.

After I got the money for a new PC this was one of the first games I got with it and almost instantly I feel in love with it. It reminded me of the old 90s shooters I would play, it was fast, looked good, sounded good, guns felt great to fire and it was fun. Admittedly the game is showing its age but the gun fights are still vicious, the sound design is still top notch and the AI is alot smarter than most AI in more modern shooters.

It's an outstanding game that is up there with the FPS greats like Duke 3D, Half Life, Quake etc. It's a shame the later games went for more mass appeal and were terrible in comparison to this, the later games lost everything that the first game done so well.

You don't get shooters like this any more and if you love shooters and horror then get this game.

As someone who hasnt played Mortal Kombat properly since the SNES/Mega Drive but dabbled a bit on the PS2 game (and didnt like it), I have to say I am really impressed with the new(er) Mortal Kombat. Its violent, easy to learn but hard to master, looks good and is all round a solid game.

Great game 100% recommened.

Not a bad entry in the Wolf' series at all. It trys to capture the "old school" while trying to remain modern. Some of the things to make it modern such as the regenerating health have been re-tweeked so it will only regenerate to a certain point and then you will need to start picking up health packs and amour!

The AI isn't the best but it is competent and has some level of self preservation but the AI is at its worst during stealth sections, on a number of occasions I had shot one of their men and he will be lying 2 feet infront of another AI and the AI wont notice or care. But when it comes to proper fire fights they are fine but could be better.

Graphicly its an okay looking game but majority of the world is static other than a few boxes that can be broken and a few walls so the firefights lose their flare until later parts of the game. Most of the weapons have a nice punch to them and its great dual weidling just about anything and laying bullets into someone has a great feeling!

The game does try and tell a serious story and at times it can be really good as the acting is pretty good but sometimes it can get in the way of the action which is what this game does really well.

Its a recommended game and I hope Machine Games work on a new Wolfenstein but focus more on the action, sort out the AI and perhaps not use ID Tech 5 but personally I didnt have alot of issues using an AMD R9-270x.

GRAB MY SEMI! GET MY SEMI BEFORE THEY DO! QUICKLY GET MY SEMI!

100% recommeneded.

I could go into a long review as to why this game meant a lot to me in my younger years and why any RPG fan should play this game. But I will keep it short:

If you claim to be a fan of RPGs you NEED this game! Its one of the most engrosing RPGs I have played and its a game that no one should miss.

Get the fan made patches though because in its Vanilla state its very buggy!

Another Bioware masterpiece! It is such a fantastic RPG and with it being in the Starwars universe just makes the lore so much more interesting and rich! This game was made a time when Bioware actually made RPGs and not some poor excuse for an RPG like Dragon Age 2 and Mass Effect 3.

If you like RPG and Starwars then you are looking at the right game. 100% recommended.

Another classic balls to the wall 90s shooter from the guys who brought you the outstanding Duke 3D! It's simple, if you loved Duke 3D you will love this. They don't make shooters like this any more and it's a shame.

Lets hope that the people at Devolver Digital update other Build Engine games like Witchaven and Blood!
