    Minesweeper- 2.5/10. It had a flat storyline, and was quite short... :D :p

    I agree but I would rate Half Life 2 higher because it's my favourite game of all time. :D


    More recently:


    Fallout 3 --- 9/10

    Left 4 Dead --- 9/10

    Far Cry 2 --- 7/10

    Episode 2 is the best Half Life so far, in my opinion.

    Here's to hoping Episode 3 will be even better!

    Fallout 3 -9.9/10 - got boring very occasionally
    DOW II - one word. EPIC. 11/10
    COD5 - great excuse to game in a history lesson. "But sir! I'm taking the Reichstag!" "Thats alright then" 10/10

    F.E.A.R. 2 9/10 Amazing, what more can be said?

    Prince of Persia 6/10 Would have been less, but I like the story. Being unable to die is weird.

    Far Cry 2 -10/10 heard about the new patch loaded it up, same boring PoS uninstalled the next day never to soil my hard drive with it's putrid stench again.

    Playing Fallout 3 again give it 8/10 and 2/10 for that ending.

    Alone in the dark 8/10

    Very much like an interactive movie, some novel concepts, although the fire business is not as useful as the devs make it out to be. But the ending was horribly unsatisfying.

    Let's just say that devs of AITD were heavily inspired by the concept of 24 and similar shows, hence the episodic concept. I don't want to spoil it for you, but the ending is a cliffhanger and just begs for a sequel.

    It is short, assuming that you are pro and can complete the game flawlessly. But if you are like me, it takes longer because there are some sections which I had to repeat till I got it right, which are usually the timed driving parts. There is also a certain more boring part where you have to kill a minimum number of trees to move on, but I decided to romp round the whole park and kill every single last one.

    All in all, I did enjoy the game, it had a lot of great moments and really did play out like an interactive movie at times, especially in the first chapter. I should add that it's got great music that really helps to build the atmosphere. If you do play, I have one hint that makes life SO much easier: fire bullets are terribly effective, but the conventional way is to go into the inventory and pour fuel on the bullets in the gun. This is tedious because you have to repeat everytime you reload. But I created fire bullets, then bound the gun with fire bullets to a shortcut. So when I reloaded, I just hit that shortcut, the gun flicked down for half a sec, and then came back up with fire bullets, all without having to access the inventory!

    COD4. 9/10.

    Dont play too many video games except Madden and whatevers on my iPod Touch, and never really got into the FPS thing. The last FPS I played and completed as Golden Eye on the N64. COD4 was a bit of an upgrade.

    Tatsunoko vs Capcom

    10/10 just what I expected from the newest VS series game. Its nice to see the merging of multiple things I like. Anime + Fighting games, double cool since its the vs series and Capcom characters.

    Lol, I just finished C&C3 campaign today, the last few nod missions were pretty rough, Scrin was short but sweet, they are very powerful and a good addition to the series. I've got Kane's Wrath as well, so another round of missions to do, and of course there's the addictive skirmish modes and multiplayer if I grow a pair, lol.

    I think everything L4D wishes it was is what Dead Space is.

    Its more polished, better graphics, more scary, good story line, and just plain fun. L4D was just the same old zombie swarms zerging you shoot, elbow, shoot, elbow, repeat gameplay over and over again.

    Dawn of War 2 - 5/10

    Disappointed they made the single player campaign into a RPG, from reading the box, the whole regions under threat aspect excited me, then I found out you can't build bases on the missions.

    Even the actual missions were boring. All essentially the same, drop down, kill the bad guys and the big boss at the end, rinse and repeat. Even the Skirmishes were a let down, I enjoyed Company of Heroes far more than this one.

    And just to top it off, took it back to the store, they wouldn't give me an exchange as the game has been installed and tied to my Steam account now. Not. Happy.

    Looking forward to Empire Total War though! Shoulda waited for that instead of splurging on Dawn of War 2.

    L4D and Dead Space are two completely different games; L4D is a good game, and Dead Space is a decent one. I enjoy L4D's Versus mode far more than Campaign, because frankly, being a zombie is fun. Unless you spawn as a Smoker.

    Anyway, last games...

    Mega Man 6: 7/10
    Mega Man 5: 8/10
    Mega Man 4: 7/10
    Mega Man 3: 10/10
    Mega Man 2: 10/10
    Call of Duty 5: 7/10 (nowhere near as good as 4)
    Mass Effect: Eleventybillion/10

    I like Strategy games, not RPG style games. As far as I can remember, Dawn of War 2 got pretty good reviews?

    Each to their own, sounds like you like RPG's. Anyway, Dawn of War was not my cup of tea. I don't know if its just me, but I thought the graphics in CoH are heaps better than Dawn or War 2? Not something I expected.

    Another game here:

    Harvest Massive Encounter - 7.5/10

    A simple and addictive game. Basically a tower defense game, with some twists. Thoroughly recommend it!

    dawn of war 2.0
    8.5/10

    good concepts and very fast paced but needs more factions and units to really open up its gameplay
    ai is also kinda weak
    the single player was fun and the fact that they did it ala action rpg style was genius.
    or else it would really be more of the same and it would basically just be a tuturial fr online skirmishes
    add better ai and more factions and it would be a 10/10

    Defense Grid: The Awakening 8/10

    Excellent tower defense game. Last two levels are a b****. I think if they had a level builder, and added some features like placing towers during pause, and full screen view to plan your attack, would have bumped it to a 9/10. Adding multiplayer would have pushed it near a 10.

    I never cared much for tower defense, but this one got me hooked. Not much replay value, but it's well worth the money! I think I got it for $15.

    What's wrong with EndWar? I'm just curious. Was considering getting it but reviews were mixed.

    My last game: Bioshock 11/10 and Fallout 3: 6/10

    Perhaps a bit unfair on fallout 3, coming right after arguably one of the better games of all time.
