If you want a decent sniper game, look no further. This game has many flaws and is no where near perfect, but compared to the piece of horse crap that is the Sniper Ghost Warrior Series. This beats it in pretty much every aspect.

Great game. Although not as scary as amnesia or cry of fear, the gun play and other various mechanics are excellent. The story is pretty basic but does have quite a few twists and turns. The ending is not that great, but I have yet to play the second and third game to make a final decision on that. It's a pretty long game too, I only played on easy and it took me 8 hours, plus you still have some replayability if you want to fully upgrade your weapons and whatnot. Overall the game gets a 93/100 from me, I can only hope the next two games are just as good, if not better.

I have officially beaten this game 3 times, because it is just that good. Gameplay and other elements just don't compare to Saints Row or Grand Theft Auto, on top of that, neither of those games are based off the 1950s, which makes this experience all the more merrier. Be aware there is no free roam unless you download a mod for it though.

Well, where to start? This game is a great example of corperate greed. Yeah, that sounds about right.

First off, the storyline is mediocre. I wish I could understand it, I really do, but to me this is like an epilogue to a poorly written spin-off of crysis. That isn't even the beginning.

Gameplay...Basically, it's Call of Duty with a nanosuit. Gun play and other mechanics mostly found in multiplayer are extremely close to CoD style, Crysis was it's own game and didn't rely too much on other games for ideas. That has come to a close with Crysis 2. Oh, and I almost forgot that everything is much more linear in the campaign than the original one was aswell.

Multiplayer, yet again it's CoD with a nanosuit. In Crysis 1 you had tanks, vtols, and helicopters, and you had a CS styled buy menu, everything was bought with points you earned. Now, it's default weapons with class loadouts and unlocking new weapons requires leveling up, sound familiar? Oh, not to mention killstreaks such as Radars and Radar jammers, air strikes, and a ton of other things. Oh, and Mesa, the biggest MP map in the original crysis, is probably bigger than all of the MP maps in this game combined.

"But if it's so bad, why did you get it?" It was part of the EA Humble Bundle, I didn't have to touch the keys for it but here I am, wanting to try and play SP again to see if I can make more sense out of it than I did when I first played and beat it.

TL;DR: Don't get it if you're a huge fan of the first game in the series. If you love Cawadoody but you're looking for a little bit of change in your life, this will take the cake and your wallet.

Ah, burnout, one of my favorite game series as a kid. Unfortunately, this is the last one made and I doubt there will be any more burnout games after this, onto the point...

I have played through this game twice or close to it before aquiring a steam copy. Gameplay and Mechanic wise it resembles almost every other burnout game before it, with some new features and a new GFX engine. The main difference between all the other burnouts though, is that this one is free roam, and you can actually take your own routes to win a race if neccessary.

All-in-all, this game will be well worth your money. Even more so if you bought the EA Humble Bundle, which is what I did. As far as burnout games go this is the best one right next to Burnout Revenge.

A true classic. I feel sorry for anyone who hasn't played this. For me this was one of my favorite childhood games and still is one of my all time favorites. If you haven't played this before and curiousity gets the best of you, don't hesitate even a second to purchase it.

This has quite a few improvments over the original game. I also like the free roam feel they added to it. However, the story is sub-par and the overal difficulty has been decreased dramatically. Even with that said, Nightmare Arcade and The Arcade Mode overall make up for these mistakes, and the game is still very enjoyable.

I've been completely stunned. This game excels in every department. Storyline, game mechanics, and graphics all receive an A++ rating. Even at full price, I would still recommend this to anyone and everyone.

It's a good thing this game isn't used for actual surgeon training purposes.
