Have a hankering for an old school beat em up? This is probably as good as it gets. I loved playing games like the old 90s simpsons and battletoads - this scratches that itch and then some and is oozing with style. Fun on your own and even better with friends.

One of the best roguelike games I have ever played. One of the best twin stick shooters I have ever played. With lots of unlocks and couch co-op this is by far one of the best games of its kind. If you are thinking about buying it I say think no more and pull the trigger. I haven't had this much fun with a game in this genre in a long time. Kudos to the devs for making such a pleasurable game to play! The controls are tight, the levels are interesting, there is full destruction and you can really go deep into creating characters for your specific play style whether it be sitting back, going slow and picking dudes off or going Rambo style full frontal assault there are so many options to tweak each play through just right. Now stop reading and buy this game.

This game kicks ^$$. If you liked the Shadow Warrior reboot, DOOM 2016 and Borderlands you'll love this game. The only negative thing I have to say about it is that there are WAY too many drops which means too much time spent dealing with upgrades to your weapons in menus. Other than that though this is an extremely fast paced shooter / melee that is an absolute blast to play alone or with friends (unlike borderlands it is still fun alone). Gotta love the Wang. This game is worth its full asking price and if you get it on a sale that is just a bonus. They have also added free DLC already which is awesome. Definitely a developer to support. Also, the game looks great and runs fantastically. Tons of weapons, great gameplay, great developer, great engine, just all around a fantastic package.

Fantasitc couch co-op game. I haven't played single player nor have I played multiplayer with people online. What I can tell you is that this game is fantastic, frantic fun playing with a few buddies sitting on the couch with a nice HDTV. If you like twin stick shooters with progression this is a fantastic choice. I got it on a huge sale, It was $15 CAD for the game and all the DLC and am absolutely loving it. SO much shooter meyhem and tons of customization options to be able to make the perfect character suited to your play style. Highly recommended.

Great old school RTS now that it has been patched up it is a must buy for lovers of the RTS games of old - deep strategy and great mechanics. This is definitely a contender for best RTS of the year. Damn is it ever hard! Love it! I also really appreciate that they released a map editor so we are not stuck to having to buy DLC just to get some more maps.

One caveat is that I never played the original Cossacks and I read that it is just a remake of the original and not a truly new game so that might be a factor for some people buying if you have already exhausted Cossacks 1 this might not be right for you, although, if you want a fantastic HD remake of the original then here it is for you in all of its glory.

Easily the best expansion to any game. Period. This is better than the greater majority of RPGs that I have played. What an incredible story driven experience. There is nothing quite like Blood and Wine to end an absolute marvelous serious. I am saddened that there is no more to come. Though this was the best send off I could possibly imagine.

A fantastic continuation of the wonderful plot driven world of the witcher.

This is as good as it gets for Zombie games and it gets even better playing coop. If you havent played this game you are doing yourself a major disservice! It is well opimized and the mechanics are solid and fun.

Looking for a Warcraft clone this is a bit more like CnC than I would have liked. It is basically a warcraft skin mod for 8-bit armies. It is still loads of fun as a simple RTS but not the game I was hoping it would be. Seeing as I got the 8 bit bundle for a good sale price I am not disappointed with this although I think if I paid full price I might have had some reservations.

Do you like CnC? Because this is CnC. Closest modern game you can get to the original CnC down to the audio and everything. The visuals aren't very good but that is the point. It is a quick and easy clone of CnC which is really fun after so many modern RTS games.
