An amazing game experience for those who like raging at themselves, friends, and the overall toxic community. Have fun going up against smurfs and many other types of people in this amazing simulation, which simulates simultaneously the effects of having Parkinson's Disorder, but also PTSD and depression. Great buy, pick it up now!

Getting shot by an enemy on the other side of the map: The Game

You're escorting a VIP through a market square, while half of your teammates search the surrounding buildings looking for anyone trying to ambush you. The chatter on your radio indicates that they're all clear, but soon after you hear gunshots ring out. You begin to hear muffled voices coming from above you, and they don't sound familiar at all. You send one of your squadmates in there to see if there's anyone there, and more gunshots are fired, ending with your teammate screaming, "THEY'RE HERE!" The VIP and the rest of your group run hurriedly to one of the extraction points, while others try to combat the ambushers. Many die, but as you approach the extraction point with your last magazine, not knowing how much ammo you have left, you see one last ambusher waiting for you to arrive. The VIP ducks into cover, but you try to return fire to the assailant. He shoots you twice, but you land a lucky shot on him and kill him.

Insurgency is filled with moments like these. The learning curve isn't as steep as you may think, and the game is reminiscent of other hardcore FPS's, such as Red Orchestra 2 and Rising Storm. With your little amount of health, you must coordinate with your team members in order to assure victory for your team. Patience is key, because running out will end up with you being shot at from 10 different directions. The game is excellent and should be enjoyed by anyone that wants to have an enriching multiplayer experience with or without friends. Be wary, though, if you prefer games like Call of Duty or Battlefield, then you will have a much harder time getting into this game. The guns are harder to aim, and it takes only a few well placed shots to kill someone, so make sure you aren't entirely visible. All in all, this is a really good game that may not be for everyone, but deserves to be tried. Try out the mod or play the game during a free weekend to see if you like it

Doesn't release an update for a month
Now it's a full release that feels more broken than 90% of early access games.

A really fun game to play with friends that will probably last you quite a bit of time. Host a server (since the others are bad) and play with a bunch of your pals and try to survive this zombie apocalypse. My friends and I barely survived our first few days because we nearly starved to death, but now we have a farm going, and hunt every so often. The beauty of this game is that there are so many different ways to try and live. You can just be cautious and try to make your living in the forest, hunting and cutting down trees for supplies, running to the lake every so often. You could try just going to every town alone and getting all the supplies you can, and basically just live off the road. Finally, you can combine both, and just try living on a farm. There are a vast amount of choices, so you can take your time. This game is currently in early access, and it is so damn good. I'm excited and curious to see what the developer will put in this game to further expand it, and I wish him success.

Telltale hits it out of the park once again, with another excellent story-telling experience. The Wolf Among Us is one of Telltale's latest and greatest point-and-click story-driven adventures, but it is based off of the popular comic series Fables. Due to this, you'd think Telltale would have to play it safe so it wouldn't disrupt any of the canon of the comics. At the end of the first episode, though, you'll see that Telltale isn't pulling any punches. The first thing you'll notice about the game are its aesthetics. TWOU is using a color pallette Telltale hasn't used before, and it takes advantage of the Telltale engine and a neon color scheme. This game has a lot of shadows, which really fit the already engrossing atmosphere. Here I'm gonna give a review of each episode released so far, then once Cry Wolf is released, I'll give my thoughts on that and give a final review of this game.

Episode 1: Faith
This episode helps setup the main narrative of the entire series, and makes it so you really don't need to know much about Fables to understand the plot. Right away you're thrust into the role of Bigby Wolf and given some choices on how to react to an emergency that's happening in the main setting of the game, Fabletown. So, during these first 10 minutes, you have multiple choices and a great action sequence that introduces you to 4 very important characters. As this episode progresses you learn more about Fabletown and its residents, and start wondering about all the little secrets that may lie unknown in this little town. The episodes length is roughly 2 hours, but is very replayable for the Book of Fables entries and the other choices you can make. The choices made in this episode drastically impact the rest of the story, so you're going to need to choose very wisely. Overall, this episode is a 9/10

Episode 2: Smoke and Mirrors
This is the episode we waited for for over 4 months, and I'd like to say it was worth the wait. This episode explains the cliffhanger ending from the first episode (WHICH TOOK 4 MONTHS TO RESOLVE) and reveals some more insight into the character of Bigby Wolf and of his other friends. From the very beginning you're able to make difficult choices on how to handle bad situations, which are reflective on your playstyle, and what type of mental state you think Bigby is in. What makes up for the tragic wait for this episode is the devastating conclusion and realization at the very end of the episode, leaving you on a cliffhanger to start episode 3 with. 9/10

Episode 3: A Crooked Mile
The best episode by far. Everything in this episode is expertly made, from the beginning, to the choices, to the end. This is one of the longest episodes by far, but I can't really go into detail without spoiling it. Truly the pinnacle of Telltale's story telling, 10/10

Episode 4: In Sheep's Clothing
A lackluster episode when it comes to length and decisions, but a good one nonetheless. This episode of TWOU is an example of Telltale's episode 4 curse, where they can't seem to deliver with their penultimate episodes. This episode is probably the shortest one out of the bunch, but is thoroughly enjoyable. The cliffhanger will have you drooling and counting down the days until Episode 5's release. 7/10

Had 12 kids with 8 different women, became president, then died when I tried cooking spaghetti. 10/10

Was doing pretty good up until the world war era, when suddenly every trade offer I had with the Allies went under. -$26,000 in debt and an approval rate of 75%, everything went to ♥♥♥♥ after I started being friends with the axis, and proceeded to demolish ancient ruins.
Rebels burned down my palace 20 minutes later
