Humorous & charming point and click. Crazy enjoyable characters with a fairly good story to boot.

There's nothing groundbreaking here, but that can pretty much be said for the genre. As far as P&C Adventures go this isn't up there with the likes of the Lucas Arts classics, but it's good in it's own right. Metal Dead is definitely worth a look.

This is one of my most anticipated games. I played Lugaru years ago & was addicted. Lugaru & Overgrowth have an insanely unique combat system, that is a blast & a half to play with. The parkour system is pretty good (a little troublesome for newcomers) great when you get used to the controls. You have the option of completing missions through stealth, all out brawl, bare handed or with weapons. There is an editor in both Lugaru & Overgrowth for the modders out there (Lugaru's is a little clunky, but with persistance & patients you can do some pretty good things).

Even though I love both of these games so much. I'm going to say, "DON'T go into this thinking Overgrowth Is anywhere near finished". Overgrowth is basically just the in between a completed foundation & the start of some framework. There is very little content here(a few maps, a few obstacles to traverse & a couple enemies to toy with). Is it worth the pricetag? Absolutely not if you don't already love what this is going to be. Those of you that know Lugaru & see where David Rosen is going with this.... I say get on board, play with the new toys & give feedback to Wolfire. The community's support will only make this better.

If you're sceptical, do yourself a favor & hunt down Lugaru. It's old & not pretty by today's standards, but it's damn good.

******* I'm voting up not based on what it is now, but what I'm sure it will be. *******

NOTE - The development is VERY slow moving. You were warned....... BUT IT'S GONNA BE EFFFFFFFFING AWWWWWSOME!!!

At least it's free & short.

It's less of a game & more of a commentary on age perspective. There is no real gamplay here, just point A to point B.

"The Way of Life" is trying to convey a deep message in a charming manner. This is a fine idea, but has a LONG way to go before it can come close to what "Journey" has done.

I only recommend this if you are the patient type. While there is almost no gameplay here. What is here is annoying.

Also this game is all of about 5 minutes long(if you take your time & look around). Why is there a "Download Demo" button available?

Binary Domain is not a perfect game. While there are some nuisance points to this 3rd person shooter. There are also some bright spots, that make this worth checking out.

Cons:
1) Partners are a bit naggy. They will repeat phrases like, "This way." or "Let's go!" while you
explore for items.
2) The AI is pretty dumb & will frequently run into your line of fire. Not only that, they will blame
you for their error & you will lose their favor. This is not a huge problem unless you have
incredibly bad aim or are blatantly firing on your team.
3) The key prompts are terribly mislabeled, while playing with a game controller. It can get
confusing at times & can mess you up at some points.

Pros:
1) Good play mechanics. Cover system & combat are pretty well done.
2) Intriguing story with variations based on favor with individual teammates.
3) The characters are likable.
4) Audio & visuals are still pretty damn good even though this game is pretty dated.

This is not a bad buy at $14.99. If you're still hesitant. Snatch it up fast when it goes on sale.

One of the all time great games. As satisfying as games like SoTC or Journey. Brothers is short, but it's charm is unmatched. The story is compelling. The world is gorgeous. The characters invoke the player's emotion(very few games have achieved this). The gameplay is unique (granted the twin stick mechanic has been done before, but not in this way).

It would be a shame to miss out on Brothers. This is one of those games that every gamer should have under their belt.

The meth addicted love child of the original Prince of Persia & an epic arm wrestling match.

Simple concept, simple execution & simple look, but very fun.

Fast, brutal, sometimes frustrating & at the same time satisfying.


I propose a sequel to this, "Nidhogg 2: The Talkening". These guys clearly need to talk some things out.

I'm terrible.

Would I recommend this? Not to myself, but if you like rhythm games? Sure it seems decent enough.

I got this in a bundle. I'm not a fan of rhythm games. I don't generally play them, so I may be lacking contrast. Take my recommendation with a grain of salt.

Amazing game. I played the crap out of this on PS3 & loved it. I bought it again since I decided to abandon consoles all together & this version has a hell of a lot more content. I knew that going in, but you don't really appreciate the amount of extra content until you play both.

My only 2 gripes with this version are:
1) The controls don't match up & I became accustomed to the PS3 version so naturally I wanted to use the PS3 controller. It's possible, but takes a lot of fenagling(Xpadder tweeks & what not) to get it close.
2) While the PS3 version has trophies the Steam version does not.

This is what happens when Road Rash's red headed crack baby gets adopted by an abusive couple.

Wow, this game is not easy & it's not because of the game's difficulty. The difficulty dirrectly correlates to the terrible controls.

On the second stage for instance, you will have multiple fast moving enemies bearing down on you. Most of these enemies take 2 hits to kill. Your slow firing pistol does not allow you to move while firing, so jumping over the onslaught or taking the hit seems like the best option most times.


I realize I just started playing this & I may be taking the whole game out of context, but this is my 1st impression. I will edit this review after some more time in game. I would not recommend this after my 1st impression though.
