Euro Truck Simulator depicts the life of a long distance truck driver. Drive cargo and complete missions across Europe to earn money and unlock new trucks, all while driving through beautifully rendered scenery. The truck cabs are realistic and feature animated lights, wipers and indicators, and there are a number of different cities in which to play.

The missions in Euro Truck Simulator typically revolve around picking up and dropping off cargo. The player can play the game in a structured career mode, which typically involves joining a cargo company and driving cargo around the city to its destination.

There are keyboard controls to drive the truck with and to operate the lights, indicators and horn, however playing with a gamepad is also supported. Players can use the mouse to look around their truck cab and check their side mirrors while driving.

An FPS where you play a soldier, not a super soldier. Bullets hurt, your enemies are cunning and accurate. You need to use tactics, terrain and vehicles to their full extent just to stay alive long enough to take one shot.

The game has a vast map (the game world covers more than 400 sqare kilometers, all of which is available to the player). It is varied, detailed, challenging and perfect for squad-based first-person shooter.

The single-player campaign will see you storming cities on foot, holding beacheads, attacking convoys in an Apache Gunship, sabotaging enemy supplies in the dead of night and a wealth of other experiences.

ArmA games are all very hard to get to grips with. It requires a play style completely different to what the average gamer is accustomed to. You don't just run in to enemy positions because you'll be churned into mincemeat again and again and again. You should play strategically, take your time and command your squad effectively to be victorious.

To finish off, ArmA: Armed Assault is a great, albeit flawed game. With the bugs and glitches being gradually ironed out by the keen development staff, as well as the growing (and already huge) modding community, ArmA: Armed Assault is definitely a game you should consider picking up.

Although it is not free from any flaws, Rocksmith 2014 Edition gives a big kick in the anthill of musical games. Offering a real experience of guitar / bass with lessons at home while having fun it is rather to advise to neophytes although experienced guitarists will still be able to find their account in particular in the mini-games of scoring.

The rock soundtrack varied enough will delight young and old. If this game is not a real game properly speaking, it is an excellent method of guitar, full of advice and techniques.
No need to fool yourself, Rocksmith 2014 Edition will not make you a god of the guitar. This being the case, Ubisoft has a very interesting concept that will seduce rock fans who want to discover a gameplay a little deeper than a Rock Band or Guitar Hero could offer. However, it will do with a confusing partition system, a surprising difficulty management and a slight latency.

It’s smooth, flexible, always encouraging, and makes practicing a pleasure rather than a chore. Whether you’re a fretboard virgin or a would be virtuoso, Rocksmith 2014 deserves a place in your daily practice routine.

Let's Rock and Roll Baby!!!

If you are looking for an interesting top-down shooter with some fresh mechanics, something with a pen-and-paper art aesthetic, or you just have a soft spot for a good, old-fashioned western, 12 Is Better Than 6 is a good title to consider. It’s mix of face reaction with stealth setup can turn the tides from calculating to chaotic at any moment, keeping you on your toes.

Overall, I have to say I enjoyed single-player more than the multiplayer portion of The Ship, even though the former was rather short. If the right enhancements are put into place I can definitely see room for additional missions and would actually like to play more of them on different ships. The multiplayer seems innovative but it just doesn’t stick for one reason or another.

The Ship certainly goes against the recent trend in shooter games, eschewing fast and furious action for more subtle and planned attacks, and I really enjoy the more relaxed pace of the game, where anyone can become successful at the game without having perfect reflexes. The Ship also has a good amount of tension, as you try to figure out who is hunting you, making you suspicious of pretty much everyone on board (I know that bench looked at me funny).

Divekick is a fighting game with a twist. Each player only has two buttons. The buttons can be used to dive and kick. Like other fighting games there are various different characters all with different moves. Characters are K.O.-ed by a single hit so discretion is required. The game features thirteen characters and a story mode for each. Online players can play both in ranked and unranked matches.

It's a deep fighting game, wrapped in a simple idea. Having only 4 or 5 things to be worried about in a match, as opposed to the usual 40 in most fighting game, distils the action down nicely. It’s the perfect game for those who enjoy deep fighters, or those who have never played a fighting game before.

The game for me is the best online-only multiplayer shooter I've ever played IMHO. Rebels and government troops fight each other on the 20 maps which mostly focus on urban warfare. The realism is somewhere between Counter-Strike and Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad: there are no cross-hairs, no ammo counters and players usually die after one or two hits.

The game will really test your reaction time, tactical skills and your nerves. I have rarely cursed at a multi-player shooter before but this game did. However, a shot and a kill was really more satisfying in this game.

The objectives mostly is about conquering/defending locations or destroying weapon caches, but there is also a Capture the Flag and VIP escorts. The best part is that there is a co-op mode in which players solve the usual objectives against bots who are smart or dumb as hell depending on diffuculty setting.

I've been playing the game for over two weeks now and find it just great! There are only limited upgrades for weapons during the game. Rambo actions on the battlefield will definitely get your ass-kicked even by the dumbest bots. The best thing, however, is the community as a whole. You can see that here maybe coz I believe players are mostly adults, based on their actuations during the game. No one squats behind the screen and snipes all day long or does nothing to help the team. Almost everyone are generally very respectfully and knows the objectives. No constant insults in chat like in BF4 or Call of Duty.

Great game overall, Insurgency leaves a good impression and I really really recommend it.

HotLead is an unpolished game in every sense of the word. The game mechanics like jumping, cover system are out of whack and not even a mouse sensitivity option. You look like an erect robo-penis when you jump in this game. The graphics are quite nice though but the rest of the game like gameplay, sound and story is just pure garbage. Avoid at all cost.
It's a freaking Doughnut as in Do Not Buy unless it's free ofcourse then by all means grab it for the trading cards and earn a few cents from it.

Potatoman Seeks the Troof is a short, evil but enjoyable platform. Probably you'll not find any truth at the end of the road, but you'll have a pretty nice (and frustrating 90% chance) experience.
