This game is simply amazing and it's still in development. Can't wait for the release version. It gives you an imaginary solar system to explore with your Kerbals (little green space men). The realtime physics simulation makes you use real (but slightly simplified) orbital mechanics to get off the ground, into orbit, and off to other worlds. But the best part is that each ship component is individually tracked so you must build your rockets with care. Badly designed ships will fail with spectacular and often hilarious results. The learning curve can be steep but there are plenty of tutorials out there. For now it's a sandbox game but I can't wait for the campaign mode!

I enjoyed Max Payne 3. It is a big departure from the first 2 games in the series. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it's hard to give it an unconditional recommendation. It has a decent story (for a game), impressive visuals, and good cover-based gunfighting gameplay with the familiar bullet time mechanic. Some of the set piece battles are quite impressive and most of the gunfights are engaging. There are a couple of bad vehicle combat scenes which I just hate in general but they are few and far between. My biggest pet peeve though are the constant in-engine cutscenes that are constant throughout. I appreciate the attempt to inject story but it really distracts from the gameplay. Also, the constant post-effect-color-blur-flare thing gets annoying very quickly. I think it's supposed to show you how hung over Max always is but maybe actually giving the player a headache was the wrong way to go about it. Anyway in summary it's a relatively short but well put together action game with a few flaws but if you're a fan of the first 2 it's probably worth playing if you can get it on sale.

I do recommend for fans of the Hitman series. Solid level design and impressive visuals back up the new gameplay style. The presense of checkpoints is a departure from the Hitman formula and you could argue that the levels are more linear than the previous Hitman games. But the gameplay and AI are quite good in my opinion. Just ignore the story and cutscenes and you will be well entertained. Contracts mode is a nice bonus as well. I recommend not buying the DLC as I didn't use any of it.
