Full disclosure: I had the privilege of reviewing This Book is a Dungeon for GamerHeadlines.com and got to play it a week before release; I was provided with a free copy by Nathan Meunier himself.

I really, really enjoyed this game despite its short length. That's kind of what makes it so good. It's bite-sized so you can easily replay it to find other paths and such that you missed the first time around. It's a lot of trial and error and you'll die super often, but it's worth it.

With the POWER of the ArmA 3 engine, you can have above-average graphics with OKAY framerates!

BE THE ROCKSTAR
With the Rocksmith™ entertainment station!

Get your "picking hand" ready and rev up that "fingering hand," cause this game's a blast! Teaching you less about music than tabs do (and that's an achievement), you will learn how to play guitar and make cool sounds, but not why you do that or what it's doing. Just that it sounds good.

What note is the seventh fret on the red string? Damned if I know, but if I also press the ninth fret on the yellow string and then strum both, I can make a power chord! Yes, that's right! Power chords!

This game will use your real guitar™ to teach you songs. You need a real guitar™, and a special Rocksmith™ cable™. You will gradually gain skill levels within individual sections of songs™ such as Gobbledigook™ by Sigur Rós™, and eventually, you may be skilled enough to write songs similar to American Idiot by Green Day.

With Power Chord ATX Technology™, anything is possible!

Not a "Damn, that's good!"
More of a "Damn it... that's good."

GET READY TO SHOCK YOUR SYSTEM WITH THE NEWEST LAST GENERATION GAME TO BE RELEASED ON GOG AND STEAM. WITH THE ATMOSPHERE OF BIOSHOCK AND GAMEPLAY OF BIOSHOCK, THIS GAME IS THE SPIRITUAL PREDECESSOR TO BIOSHOCK.

BIOSHOCK.

Makes you care about colored rectangles. Pretty neat-o.

Clocking in at a whopping 2 hours 54 minutes (or 4 hours 1 minute with the expansion pack), Sniper: Ghost Warrior is the worst bro-shooter I have ever played. I weep for the people that actually paid $40 for this.

I don't do serious reviews typically, so here we go...

F.E.A.R. is one of the best FPS's of all time. It's tense and the combat is amazing. Only bland environments. Half-Life 1.5 out of 10.

Extraction Point is okay. The gameplay's there, but the story is bad. It opens up a bunch of plot points that could be cool, but go literally nowhere (Paxton Fettle returns from the dead and says "I know this doesn't make much sense..." and leaves it at that). The horror is much more in your face but not scary save one or two parts. Half-Life Opposing Force out of 10.

Perseus Mandate is garbage. It feels like a mediocre mod based on horrible fanfiction. The voice acting is bad and they try so hard to make it scary it just becomes laughable. Half-Life Blue Shift out of 10.

Luckily, the expansions come free with the base game on Steam, so I'd still recommend getting the full package (because you can't get the base game on its own).

Play the base game fo' sho', but only play the expansions if you really feel compelled to.
