Surprisingly addictive and, unlike many games out there, it's possible to 100% the game for most people, provided they're willing to spend a bit of time. Just a nice way to kill some time, it's very easy to pick up and put down.

This game's now so old that it goes on sale often for a very low price... if you can catch one, it's a steal! A fairly short singleplayer game, it's still a blast to go through. The story is pretty goofy and the delivery could use some work, but when you're cutting down Sauron's armies while making personal enemies via the Nemesis system, the story is probably the last thing on your mind.

It's a good game. Really! But... that's because Magic is a good game.
Duels of the Planeswalkers, unfortunately, doesn't bring anything substantial to the table that you can't get from paper Magic. Sealed is a great new addition, but with a limit to the number of sealed games you can play, it's not that much of a plus. Get this game if you have a friend that you want to introduce Magic to, but don't have the time (or ability), or if you must round out your collection of Magic-related content.

Otherwise, don't bother. There are better games to spend your money on.

Well, it's... it's a puzzler. But there's not much more going on here. You can argue that the puzzles have depth and whatnot, but you won't be finding the addictiveness of certain other puzzle games I can mention (Bejeweled, anyone?). The gameplay somehow manages to be frenetic and boring at the same time. The story is no saving grace, either--there's not much of one (although the way you trek across the overworld map is a nice throwback, I suppose). In fact, the only real thing that I flat-out liked about the game was the music, which is fantastic.

Get the game when it's on sale and if you simply must round out your puzzle collection. But this is a game you can otherwise safely overlook.

Minecraft, meet Diablo. Minecraft and Diablo, meet 2D sidescrollers.
Note that the game has a slow start, but if you've got friends and a heart for adventure, this is a great title to pick up.

It's free, it's straightforward, it's fun.
There's really very little to say here.

Do note that the game can get repetitive, but considering that you have to pay all of $0 now... well, that's a pretty good deal, don't you think?

EDIT: Game's not quite what it used to be, but it's still good class-based shooter fun. Wish they had a mode, like "TF2 Classic" where they do away with all of the items, cosmetic and not.
