Incredibly underrated game, and likely the best 'modern' FPS I've played yet. Instead of making things like instant kill ver, regenerating health and XP unlock systems done as needless arbitration, the game makes these things an involved part of the experience of increasing the playability and fun of the game - you're a goddamn gun wielding badass, and nothing can stop you from kicking every ass.

Nearly every part of this game is an improvement on the first, too, instead of having 4 basic powers and enemies consisting only of mobsters with guns and cops with guns, the game throws tons of enemy variety at you to keep you on your toes, plus tons of combat variety to kill people in some of the coolest ways ever. It's stylish, it's fun and most importantly, it involves you player in the experience.

And as a comic fan, I felt the game was much more in line with the comic than the first game, and looks quite a lot better with its new hand drawn look. This game is involving and enjoyable.

Normally I write really long reviews. But pretty much everything in this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxuvqD6tGLg says what I feel about this game.

Especially level 1-11.

The music is, indeed, dope though. I highly recommend this game, it's as enjoyable as it is difficult. Which is VERY.

About time I wrote this, huh?
I've been a Valve fan for a long, long time, and while I've completely enjoyed every game they've made since the original Half-Life, I've yet to like one to the same level as that. Portal 2 changed this. The game echos a lot of the variety, originality, atmosphere and personality that made Half-Life so great, while building it up on its own. Many elements of the game - from the sound to the gameplay, all seem to borrow something from Valve's varied library and refine it to be greater than the sum of its parts. The game its self is many years of drastically different work all colliding into each other and breaking down into something even better, and it's almost astounding when compared to the original. Nearly every single facet of the original is retained while expanded on, refined, and built up to be much better - the writing, the Portal-y puzzle-y gameplay, the atmosphere, and the depth of it all. I recommend this as much as I can anything!

This is for M2TW: Gold

I'm an older fan of the series, starting back when Medieval 1 came out in 2002, quickly getting Shogun afterwards, buying Viking Invasion on its release, and later Rome. When I came to Medieval 2, I had quite low expectations, and initially only bought it to replay the Medieval Total War setting on a modern PC.

Most happily I was surprised to find out M2TW is quite a deep game, featuring unit tactics more complex than previous Total War games, and an eye for detail that went beyond Rome's very hackeyed job. Fairly, the game does keep its self accessable and has some spotty moments, but in the end you feel you're getting more or less the best of both the old hardcore Total War style and the fun ease of casual mechanic introduction and cinematic flair that drives historians up a wall.

While not up to the admittedly aged peak of Medieval 1, Medieval 2 is an outstanding sequel and an incredibly enjoyable game in its own right. Recommended.

The blueberry garden follows its 2009 game with an equally strong collection of levels and more refined production ends a great year on a high note. Melding dancehall with bubblegum pop, heartbroken love songs with hilariously catty weirdness, and euphorically catchy melodies with propulsive rhythms this time, instead of painstakingly humanizing the locations, historical inhabitants, and trivia of a certain slab of America, it's more concerned with its own state of mind. Playing off contemporary pop's age-old diva-as-robot trope and cautioning that fellow droids who "burn out" are "ready for demolition," blueberry garden suggests that it's completely possible to be a game and also seek emotional connection. Instead of merely evoking an established style, the levels feel honest and straightforward, so the new wave glances are a vehicle for the design rather than the whole point. It certainly doesn't feel like some huge statement of purpose, some radical reinvention some big move toward

HOLD THE PHONE THERE, CHIEF - ARE YOU LOOKING TO JAM WITH SOME NINJAS AND DRAGONS AND ALL THAT CRAZY STUFF? WELL LOOK NO FURTHER.

A classic PC RPG whipped up by Obsidian (those guys who made New Vegas) - NWN2 has a solid story filled with interesting companion characters, and a strong atmosphere and gameworld for you to explore. Lots of choices pop up in your travels, and whos with you in the end and how you get there is all up to you. However,this game iS an Old School RPG and never forgets it's a D&D game. All things you'd expect from the guys at Obsidian.

Tons of character options both in visual appearance and gameplay abilities are all available to you. As this is the Platinum Pack, these options are further increased by the additions the two expansions bring (the first of which also continues the enjoyable plot to what many call Obsidian's finest release (Mask of the Betrayer)).

If you liked Dragon Age or Baldur's Gate, pick this up. 100s of hrs of solo game, endless MP game.

LISTEN UP PUNK - are you a bad enough dude to do ANYTHING in this game? You better be, because this is without a doubt one of the greatest games forged in the depth's of some guy's garage.

This game pulls no punches, but its brutality is well crafted - a consistant and enjoyable challenge. You will die, over and over and over, but never once in this will you not be having fun.

Combine that base experience with hundreds of levels, ranging in challenge from a Sunday's drive to fighting rabid bears with only your teeth, tons of hidden areas, collectables, unlockable characters from various other classic indie games (each with unique powers that put a new twist on the gameplay), time trials, leaderboards and a soundtrack which shows all those modern co-opters of chiptune music how the heck it's done.

This game is a labor of love - a product of two individual's blood, sweat, tears and meat. It is packaged in an undeniable charm that anyone born prior to the 1990s will find iresistable.
