Great art direction - minimalistic, soft colors, and sharp edges combine into a pleasing visual experience. Tire tracks show your course and how to replicate it (or not). A calming soundtrack is paired with the screaming of your car's engine, which can get a little annoying, but is also consistent enough to drown out with the music.

Gameplay is centered around point-based driving, drifting around corners as close as you can, as fast as you can, and as sideways as you can. The gameplay is enticing and draws in perfectionists; I had a lot of good fun honing my times!

I've played this on my friend's account with a Xbox 360 controller and enjoyed it for hours. I got this part of the latest Humble Bundle and tried it out with my Xbox One Elite controller. The support for said controller, as well as the Xbox One controller and the Wireless Dongle, is broken. No matter what I do the controller pulls to the left constantly.

The fixes for the XONE controller are hit and miss - works for some, doesn't work for others, but they are just workarounds. A game like this needs inherent support for controllers. My DS4 controller did not work either.

I'm hesitant to recommend Absolute Drift. I had a lot of fun before I switched to the current generation of controllers. I would avoid this game if you use the current controllers; if you use a 360 controller or use KB/M (I would recommend not to), then you should be fine.

EDIT: The developer supplied a beta version of the newest build of the game and it solved my control issues. Now Absolute Drift, once the beta version is pushed to live, is a game worth recommending.

Wolfeinstein is a blend of the old and the new. It combines the speed of an old-style shooter, with the pizzazz and complexity of a new-style shooter.

Before you go any further, Wolfeinstein: The New Order is a single-player only game. There's no form of multi-player.

With that out of the way, this game is pretty damn enjoyable. On normal, you can go guns blazing, dual-wielding your choice of pistols, assault rifles, automative shotguns, or assorted alternate-universe weaponry. Weapons handle very well. The pistols are swift and with high recoil on burst fire. Assault rifles climb steadily when going full-auto.

When you're not going guns-blazing, you can go stealthy. Sliding around behind and between cover, throwing knives into the backs of your enemies, or taking them out with the silenced mode of your pistol. Stealth can really only be used until the later end of the game, when the only option is going guns blazing. I prefer stealth and regret the choice of not be able to do the last part stealthily, but I understand the pacing requirements.

I highly recommend this game, but not for the full price of $60. A single playthrough, going from Death Incarnate and whatever Normal was, took me 9 hours. Another playthrough can tack on another 6 hours or so, but there's not too much replayability I can see. There's specific actions you can change, but at most I could get two playthroughs out of this game. I suggest it at the $30 price point. I paid $48.

Warframe is a fun romp with friends.

You play as the Tenno, a sort of space-samurai-ninja-wizard-gunslinger-warrior that is reintroduced to a galaxy at war after years of slumber. You fight three different races: the Grineer, a genetically engineered, augmented race of humans from Earth; the Corpus, a federation of trade interests with the focus on profit and advanced technology; and the Infested, an amalgamation of races that are infested with a pathogen akin to the Flood or any zombie/infestation archetype.

It plays as an action third person shooter. It's good fun once you put some hours into it. Starts off weaker, but as you get into the meat of the game, unlock a weapon or two, and a week later get a warframe or two, it's good fun.

But only with friends. This game is a slog if you're going solo. A moderately enjoyable shooter. With friends, it's an enjoyable crazy shooter/slasher.

The biggest hurdle in this game is time. You need time for everything. Crafting components for weapons, creating warframes, mining for crafting supplies, it all takes time. Platinum, the premium currency, propels everything along in a quick fashion. Platinum, however, is not cheap. If you enjoy this game, put in $20 or so. Only buy things you need to buy. Don't buy weapons or warframes. Only use the platinum for affinity (experience) boosters and advanced components like forma or gear like orokin catalysts/reactors.

View this game not as a purely free game, but a low-cost game. $20 or so will make this game extremely enjoyable, especially if you have friends. A definite recommend if you have some samurai-friends to help you slay some space baddies.

An insane gaming experience.

Kill or be killed, one hit for everyone.

An amazing soundtrack accompanies this game. It's no stab-em-up. It's an action-puzzler. You will rarely win the first time around. Or the tenth time around.

It's an intersting game. Criminals vs. Enforcers duking it out. It's not an MMO apart from an MMO type lobby. The game is made of closed off matches. It's more of the third person shooter variety than a MMO.

Great strategy. Infinite replayability. So intense it gets the blood flowing. Truly a great multiplayer (and singleplayer) experience. If you like strategy and games with a great learning curve, you should go for it!

If you like shooters, the need for teamwork, vehicular battles, and damn good graphics, Bad Company 2 is your game.

With a slew of updates and recently released Vietnam DLC-expansion, now is the best time to get into the game!
