Life is Strange is a episode-based game consisting of 5 episodes. Each episode takes about 2-4 hours, depending on how much you explore. I am not going to describe the story very deep, so here is a short version: You play as Max Caulfield, an 18-year old photography student. She discovers that she can rewind time when she saves her old friend Chloe, by rewinding time. Chloe and Max tries to find out what happened to Chloe's friend Rachel, who disappeared with no trace one day. You have to make many choices and use Max's powers to find clues about Rachel.

I really liked this game because the story was interesting and the atmosphere was nice. The time-rewinding element was something new and it worked really well. There are some puzzles in the game and they weren't too difficult to solve.

I would really recommend this game to people who like games with good story. It is a quite cheap game and it has replay value, since you have many choices which change the gameplay experience.

Alice: Madness Returns is a sequel to American McGee's Alice , which was released in 2000. I'm not going to go too deep in the story, since you can read about it on other places. But I'll tell the basics. The game is about Alice Liddell, who is 19 years old. She has been in a mental hospital since her family died in a fire when she was 7 years old. Alice's Wonderland has been destroyed since she went mad, and she has to save Wonderland to save herself.

I have played the game on both X360 and PC. It looks alot better on PC (if you have a somewhat good graphics card) but I do not like the controls in the PC version, they are really weird. I recommend playing with a gamepad, as it makes things a lot easier. The game has some bugs, and sometimes it freezes for 1 second, but I haven't come over a game-ruining bug yet.
The graphics aren't the best, but the design makes the game a lot better. I love all the colors, beautiful landscapes and strange creatures in Wonderland.
What I love most about the game is the story and the beautiful design. The game can unfortunately get a bit repetitive sometimes.

One bad thing with the PC version is that there is no achievements (I know that some people do not like achievements, but I enjoy them). Also, I think it's strange that American McGee's Alice comes free with the console versions, but not the PC version. I think the first game is better, but it's really hard to get on PC nowadays... There is also DLC on the console version, which is not available on PC (it's only extra weapons and dresses, but still).

I do recommend this game, it's a really good game for a cheap price. Especially if it's on sale!

So, +'s and -'s:
+ good story
+ beautiful level design
+ interesting enemies and characters
+ awesome weapons
+ nice music
+ long game
+ overall, a creative game

- some bugs
- can be repetitive
- no American McGee's Alice/DLC/achievements on PC version
- weird controls without gamepad
- you need to activate it on origin

L4D2 is fun when you are playing with your friends, playing the campaign alone (with bots) is kinda boring. The game has a lot of weapons and many different campaign chapters, but it gets quite repetitive sometimes. There is also different game modes other than campaign like scavenge, versus, realism and more.

You might get tired of the game after a while, but i have played 50+ hours and I still play it occasionally!
Overall, it's a fun game for an ok price. You also get the L4D1 maps, so it's like 2 games in one!

The only bad thing about the game is the sh**ty community, especially when you are playing versus or scavenge. If you fail with the charger for example, you are guaranteed to be kicked in less then 5 seconds. So play online with friends if you don't want to get kicked, and it's so much funnier playing with friends.
