Borderlands is a modern classic by this point id say. A crazy amount of weapons, interesting and funny characters, lots of different locations, large addition of extra DLC, fun but some what dated gun mechanics. My only 2 big problems with the game would be its a little slow at the start, and the ending is a bit anticlimactic. Overall its still a really fun game, worth a play if you haven't already

This game is awesome, a direct re-skin for Age of Empires 2, keeps all of the great gameplay from the original, as well as changing and adding elements to keep it interesting and not too copy / paste. A really fun RTS game, especially if you like StarWars

This game is so horribly optimized I almost couldn't bear sitting there and playing the 1.2 hours I did. The input lag is insane, and the frame rate is awful (my rig isnt slow, I get 1080p 60fps almost every other game). I have no idea how this game is so highly rated, or why people enjoy playing it. It seems like rust was before they put years of patches into it, but this game has been around about as long so? I don't see the appeal. Glad I was gifted this game and didn't waste my own money on it

This game was an amazing FPS on its own, not to mention how it was free to play. Ive seen much less weapon, character, and ability customization in full price games. The depth of customization was ridiculous, with each piece causing a slight change to your character stats. The game was monetized in a very fair way as well, you could play and level up to unlock new things, or you could pay to skip the "wait" and have it right away. Everyone had access to the same equipment which made the game feel A LOT more fair then other f2p fps games. Fantastic game, sad to see it go

Absolute banger arcade racer, its a crime that there has not been another true Burnout release since Paradise. Some how carrying on in a fantastic streak of amazing racing games, Paradise most notably adds freeroam, as well as other small improvements to the Burnout formula. The selection of vehicles is extensive, each car serving a specific purpose gives the player a good reason want to play with all of them. Crash damage is very spot on, especially for a 2008 game. No one makes a amazing arcade racer like Burnout, I cant wait to see another entry in the series, hopefully one that is worth the wait.

Vindictus a really fun game, it has easily become my favourite MMO over the years. The game isnt perfect, and there is certainly some grinding involved, but I find the combat to be so satisfying I dont mind doing it. Each of the characters have unique attack combinations, weapons, skills and armour (That actually changes the appearance of your character W0w) Tons of locations, bosses, enemies, events, items, crafting. The in game player Market Place is pretty cool. The player count isnt amazing, but it exists. Personally I find the general formula of MMO's to be pretty tiresome and non-engaging, but Vindictus has kept my interest

Csgo is a fun game, but the amount of hackers and smurfs can get pretty annoying at times. I wish Valve would port it to a new engine, or substantially improve their anti-cheat, anything to help reduce the amount of cheaters. Banning them retroactively really isnt good enough to balance out the annoyance and loss of time having to deal with these people. Despite all that, when everyone is playing fair, it is a very fun competitive FPS

One of the best Call of Duty games, set the standard for all the derivative games made after it. Kill streaks feel a lot more tame then in later games, not interfering with the match and taking away too much from the core shooter gameplay. Animations are very smooth and predictably Call of Duty, it almost feels like the later games all use a improved version of this same engine, with how fundamentally similar feeling COD games are. This is by far one of my favorite Call of Duty's, only second to MW2, but that's another review. The gameplay is fast paced, arcady, and pretty well finished. I think there is a actually a relatively high skill ceiling to the game, but the bad netcode and hit detection that plagues COD games to this day, really lowers how much you can truly train yourself to be better at the game. All that being said, still an amazing game in its own right.
