A satisfying conclusion to the Arkham trilogy. Rocksteady Studios did an excellent job remaining faithful to the Batman franchise. This game included great character depth, thrilling DLC content that provided an enhanced experience for the campaign and also introduced several mini-stories for other popular characters well known in the franchise.

This is a great origins story leading up to Arkham Asylum. The super villain encounters are not only fun, but not fluff added to the story. The mechanics get a bit old given that their reused from the previous games, but at least you don't have to learn a whole new set of controls. The DLC content related to Mr. Freeze is also enjoyable and well worth purchasing along aside the main game.

This game definitely sets the bar for future Batman games. Not only did they provide another solid story with interactions with your favorite villains, but they significantly increased the size of the map compared to the previous game. They added tons of new gadgets as well as new methods of solving Riddler's challenges. This elevates it above other game series where game mechanics are simply reused rather than being expanded upon like Arkham City does.

Although catwoman's role in the campaign in short, it's certainly nice they included the option to play the character. Another added bonus is being able to play as Robin during one of the after stories related to completing the campaign.

As always the game is beautiful to look at. However, the story is lacking and doesn't feel worth progressing through. Many of the mechanics have been reused from the past games with heavy repetition making it boring. The DLC content was not as compelling compared to the previous game. As a fan of Lara Croft, I was disappointed with how they decided to end the trilogy.

This is a great example of how a Batman game should be made. The use of the villains throughout the campaign was handled well. Mark Hamill as Joker is something no Batman fan should miss, he's definitely the driving force of this game.

If you're wanting a Smash Bros experience on the computer then you stopped by for the right type of game. Rivals of Aether is a well balanced, action packed game! It provides loads of fun for both a solo player and a party of friends. One of the best features is the ability to use Steam Remote Play so that your friends don't need a copy of the game to play. Beware that using this feature does take a sufficient amount of bandwidth and the more players you add the more the quality of gameplay will suffer. I have no issues hosting two other friends, but when we introduce a 4th player the game lags out on almost every map.

They also provide several character bundles for relatively cheap prices. Overall, they are definitely worth picking up when the DLC's go on sale, but for $5 you can't beat that. Buying the bundles also unlocks the maps associated with the characters, however, if you set your map selection to random you have the opportunity to play many of the maps that are DLC locked. You can also download additional characters and maps from the Steam Workshop. I haven't dabbled in that area of the game yet, but it's worth mentioning.

This is by far the best rythmn game out there! There are so many downloadable tracks that result in endless fun. And it's incredibly satisfying when you finally beat that one song on a difficultly that's just a little higher than you're used to.

Rise of the Tomb Raider is an excellent sequel. The game has very familiar game mechanics compared to the previous game. Yet, there are many new actions to perform as Lara. The team for Tomb Raider never fails on providing an excellent story. On top of this, they provide great bonus missions to complete as side quests, which is new to the reboot franchise.

The DLC also includes options for different gamemodes as well as stories outside of the singleplayer campaign. One of my favorite new gamemodes is called endurance. It is a survival based option that provides a challenge for players as they now need last in a harsh environment by preventing hunger and cold.

Overall, I highly recommend buying the normal copy Rise of the Tomb Raider with the Baba Yaga DLC or simply buying the 20 Year Celebration edition if it goes on the sale.

Counter Strike: Global Offensive is one of the most challenging first-person shooter games on the market. It carries a steep learning curve due to its varying spray patterns between guns. Team coordination is key to winning games, unfortunately the game is plagued with individuals who are too stubborn to cooperate. It is highly recommended that you play the game with friends if you want to win. Despite this the game is offers plenty of hours of content through a variety of gamemodes and the occasional operation update.

The community is toxic and as you progress through the ranks it only worsens. On top of this, there are an abundance of hackers in the game making regular matchmaking games difficult to enjoy. Having played this game for more five years, Valve has rarely addressed the issue and it will likely go unresolved. With the game being free-to-play the issue has only grown.

Overall, the game may have its issues, but with friends or wanting a new challenge I recommend this game.

Great game to play with friends due to all the mods/gamemodes that are played in the game. If you're looking for an awesome game to play with friends this is your game.
