This is one of the best FPS titles to come out in the last ten years or so. While the storyline for Crysis wasn't exactly a work of art, what made this game such a masterpiece … more
Beware the Machine Mother. Released in 1998, the influence of this FPS/RPG is still being felt today, especially in the Dead Space and BioShock games (the BioShock series being … more

Price paid: $20 (GOLD edition) I have yet to find an FPS game which does the "getting back to basics" approach as good as this one. You want shooting? This game will … more

I wasn't too fond of the original Tomb Raider, but I was still heavily interested in this sequel when it was first released. This was a huge improvement as it not only expanded on the world, but it … more
One of the most remarkable FPS games ever made. HL2, like all the other Half-Life games, has a very unique and immersive visual narrative coupled with well-made puzzles and strong combat. If you love … more

When I made my bold claim about nothing challenging PDS as my number one, perhaps I should have been specific to CONSOLE titles, because this gem may be just as good. By far the deepest and most moving … more

The Steam version of Half-Life is so bugged, why do I even bother playing it? It's the second time I play through, and the second time I get a game-breaking glitch near the end. I should just take … more

I’ve been digesting this in my head before I wanted to delve into offering my thoughts: First, the same elements exist as they did in the first Half-Life, though the key difference being … more
The Wing Commander series is one of my favorite series of PC games that sadly went away in the late 90s and only fan projects and an XBox live game keep it really alive. A spinoff game called Privateer … more
