First few hours in and it's good. Would play again.

This is an absolute masterpiece, an old classic. Star Wars: Battlefront 2 (2005) is possibly one of the best games of the last 12 years since a it’s release. This game has it all. Ever want to play as Luke Skywalker? You can in this game, and slaughter storm troopers while you’re at it. Or maybe you want to fly a X-Wing in a space battle? You can do that too! What about a massive ground battle in a third person shooter format with dozens of AI or players at any given time? That’s something you can do too. The game has lots of replay potential and if you’re a Star Wars fan I suggest you pick it up. I also should warn you since it’s been 12 years multiplayer servers have been shut down, however there is multiple 3rd party server hosts still hosting it to this day. Not only that, but in this game you actually get all the unlocks by playing the game. There is no way to pay large sums of money to unlock core content. It’s all there from the first time you purchase it. ( Something EA could learn from) This leads me to my closin point, this game is so much better then the new Star Wars: Battlefront 2 from EA ithis year. Buy this gem instead, you’ll have more fun and you don’t even have to support bad business practices. We all win! So give it a try and you won’t be disappointed.

So, before anyone has a chance to give you the wrong impression about this game let me set you straight. This is probably the best Call Of Duty campaign since Black Ops. It has characters you actually care about, set in an era which is familiar to some and brand new to the younger Call Of Duty fans. The story is actually interesting, most World War Two games focus on the liberation of Paris and then the drive all the way to Berlin. In this game while you do liberate Paris, takes you on a more average path. You fight in the Battle of the Bulge, and even have a brief stint of infiltration into a Nazi stronghold. There is a lot more stealth in this Call Of Duty, having something like 4-5 different stealth sections in the main campaign. The gameplay is pretty good overall, which is pretty important since this game is a first person shooter. The story does have some dull moments but overall the story is gripping enough to make you want to keep going. I actually really advise you guys to pick up this game up, despite the negative reviews given just because it is Call Of Duty. I think it is also worth mentioning I havent played a Call Of Duty in over 3 years, so this really gave the series the refresh it needed. I hope the next game is as good or better then this one. Other then that, I don't have too much else to say, so pick this game up and try it for your self before boycotting it just because it is Call Of Duty.

L.A. Noire is an amazing crime thriller. You get to do varying detective tasks. You conduct interviews with whitnesses and suspects. You search the games beautiful world and look for clues as well as secrets and easter eggs. The game is about 19 hours in length for the story mode and a few side missions sprinkled in. It makes it well worth the 16.99 CDN it is currently on the Steam Store for. It also goes on sale almost every Steam sale. The story is very gripping as you solve corruption in the upper leadership of the police force and the municipal goverenment. There is a few plot twists and shocking moments in there as well, which makes for a really great overall experience. I can not say too much on the plot from here since it has to be played to be truly enjoyed. One more of the things L.A Noire did extremely well was the characters. You always feel like you can relate to the characters in certain parts of the story and they feel truly human, with human qualities. This makes L.A Noire an extremely rewarding game to play, and I reccomend you pick it up, despite its age and older graphics. After all the game is more about the story, rather then the gunfights and flare of the graphics.

I have put 160 hours into this game, I can confirm that it was well worth it. The game is being updated constantly and is full of players. It has grown more popular then Counter Strike: Global Offensive as of September 13th. These two things are bound to keep up in the coming months. The game looks great, and has an amazing concept. You drop into a huge map and it is a fight to the death. You can play in solos, duos or squads of 3 and 4, with a cap of 100 players. You loot for weapons, ammo and armour. You use these to survive to first place. There is points in game called Battle Points. You can earn these points by getting kills, surviving longer in game and winning. You can use these to buy crates which contain cosmetics. You can open these crates without a key, which is a nice change of pace in a world of pay to win practices and cash grabs. My advice is to play the game, watch a few videos if you're unsure. Then go ahead and pick this game up and play it. I can assure you it is well worth the money.

This game is a solid FPS by todays standards. I beat the game in 5 hours, which is shorter then the last game in this franchise, The New Order took roughly 10 hours to beat. Overall the game is pretty basic, you follow the story of B.J. Blazkowicz an American undercover in Nazi Germany in 1946. For anyone with any knowledge of the second world war knows that this game taking place in 1946 is an alternate history of our world. In this universe the Nazis have developed weapons lightyears ahead of anything the allies are using causing the war to drag on. Your task is to find and secure a file leading you to the location of a compound where these advanced weapons are being made. With that said the gunplay is solid and you always feel in control of your character. The game does a good job of making you feel like the game is in Germany during World War two. The atmosphere is alive and the Nazis have lots of cool conversations with one another, one example is when two Nazis had a chat about how a fellow solider was going to hell because he liked men. This obviously is something the Nazis would be talking about since gays were punished in Nazi Germany and viewed as impure. The game has interesting weapons and overall it was an enjoyable world to play in. I recommend this game to anyone who likes FPS games or who would like to see what an alternate history where the Germans are on the brink of winning the war would look like. Give it a try, it is worth every penny!

I found this game to be very exciting and a blast to play. The game is a standard first person shooter single player campaign. The average playtime is around 8-10 hours depending on how many times you die and the difficulty you play on. Overall Machine Games did an amazing job with the story and characters. I felt a general hate for Deathshead the main antagonist because of the way the game presents him. I felt a general love for Anya your love intrest as the way you are introduced to her is perfect. I found the gunplay average and in line with most first person shooters at the time of this review. I was happy with how the game ran, I had no issues running the game with max graphics on a mid level PC build. I was also pleased with how the world looked and felt. I imagine had the Nazis won the second world war we would have seen similar contructs and research in our world. I enjoyed the game very much and I recommend you play on Uber difficulty for a challenge. Give it a try! I assure you that you will not regret it.

This game is an amazing game. I picked it up on sale for 4.99$ CDN, and I could have got a lot more out of it if I wanted to do the contracts. The main story is great and has a nice twist of an ending. The contracts are player made and you can compete with other players for the top scores, the best rated contracts and the most money earned. Each contract you complete gives you money which you can spend towards equipment and skills. The game gave me 10 hours of solid fun from the main story and with mutiple ways to kill each target there is a chance for you to replay the game and try different kill styles. I would recommend this game to anyone who likes third person action games or anyone who likes stealth in video games. This game has a grade a stealth system worth trying out. I would say to pick it up on sale though since it goes on sale quite often. Overall it is a solid title and worth a buy.

This is a decent game and a fun time waster. I can't say too much on it, but I do reccommend you play for free in the web browser before you decide to buy and support the developers. It is $5.49 Canadian. A decent price for what you get. However not worth the money if you are not a supporter of the game. I say try it out, then buy if you wanna help out the community. Other then that it a niche game, and most players who love action and gun fights will not get that here. It is based on chat and different roles you get randomly assigned to at the start of each match. You use your roles special abilities to out the murderers and bad guys. Once all the muderers are lynched or the town is killed during the night the game ends and you get to queue again. This is the most basic way I can describe it. You would have to check it out on your own to learn more. Try it out and see how you like it!

Gameplay is solid and fun. It is constantly updated and has dozens of hours of content. People may say it is pay to win but I disagree. The developers of this game have made a great game on a free to play model. I say you check it out because it is free. What do you have to lose? Check this out and make the choice for yourself.
