CS:GO Review
I guess there's not much to tell about this game! I've been playing Counter Strike games since CS 1.3, I believe. I can't remember for sure which version it was, it still was in beta stage... All I know is that there were no shield, no IDF Defender (Galil) and no Clarion 5.56mm xD

What can I say? It's simply awesome to play it with friends! I recomend it!

The first time I played this game was in 1997, it's one of the first games I've ever played on PC. I've played this game for countless hours! I can tell you that at first I had no idea how to play this game properly, it took me a while to even realize how to end my turn! This game might be quite complex at first but you get the hang of it pretty fast. You can always check the ingame manual for help if needed.

Ok, to the review, keep in mind that to play this game properly on Windows 7 and Windows 10 (I've tested both), you have to delete the file "WAIL32.DLL" in the Deadlock Planetary Conquest folder which generally is in "Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/Deadlock" (It can be different if you choose a different installation path, but the "/Steam/" path is the same). If you don't do this, after the intro, the game crashes.

I gotta tell you that for some reason, I don't have music ingame. At first I thought "Hey maybe it's my Windows 10 laptop, it's so new", so I tried it on an old 2006 Windows 7 laptop (Actually it's antique for today standards, but hey it still works pretty good xD), but no, still no music after the intro. Maybe it's because I tested it on laptops, they don't have dedicated sound cards, or older hardware is needed, I don't know.

The soundtrack is quite nostalgic, anyone here remember the song "Son, be a colonist"? xD

Anyway, in my opnion it's not game breaking. So yes, I recomend this game to every strategy fan out there.

There's not much to say about this game. It's Unreal, it's simply awesome! Compared to the original Unreal Tournament (Which by the way is an epic game, pun intended), now you can control vehicles, which is a neat feature. Vehicle battles are really fun!

What can I say? After the huge success of the original Unreal we got this game. It's one the best shooters out there, yeah I know its old but it's gold! You can play online or with bots, either way it's lots of fun.

I've played the original Z Steel Soldiers back in the day and to me it was super cool, not as cool as the original Z but still pretty good!

So, this new Steam version has improved graphics, the developer did good, it looks pretty. For me it plays like the original which is a plus, the cutscenes are there, the skirmish game mode too. The only downside is that it randomly crash during some missions, specially in world 2 jungle for me. I've noticed it happens when a unit destroys a bridge while other units are passing through but sometimes it crashes for no reason at all. Also, for some reason it doesn't work in my older laptop with an Intel 4500M GMA, which is odd because it's supported.

Well, considering the game plays well apart from these random crashes, I recomend this game.

I played the original Z for DOS in 1997, it was one of my favourites games. This Steam version has been remade, there are new features introduced in the IOS and Android port, which were ported over to Steam, like this new detailed map. The original cutscenes are there but the portuguese language ain't, too bad it was pretty cool. And Z95 levels ain't there unfortunately, nor any of its features like the Medium tank having a wider range and the tough unit having three instead of two units in it.

It plays almost like the original, there are some bugs like units refusing to enter vehicles, especially the APC, pathfind issues. Sometimes units forget orders, pyros can't attack buildings and bridges. And I experienced a black screen in my old laptop with intel integrated graphics which can be fixed by closing the unit stats window. I haven't tried other computer yet, maybe it happens with intel cards only which is odd cause they are supported.

Anyway, the bugs are not game breaking so I recomend this game!

It's old but it's Gold literally. The graphics for that time were simply amazing! What to tell about the environment, the atmosphere of being in an alien world is real! And what about the soundtrack? It's terrific! And gun models? Enemy models, level design? Everything was so well made!

It's quite a nostalgic feeling to have it here in Steam, being able to play it again in modern computers! Even the bot deathmatch is amazing in this game, the maps are quite good and the bots have plenty of skill, it's no walk in the park like some bots in other games.

I recomend this game! it's terrific!

What can I say, this game is simply awesome! I've played some zombie genre games, including the original Resident Evil 2, 3 and 4, Left 4 Dead 1 & 2 and others... All of them are masterpieces, but there's something more about this game... I don't know if it's the parkour mechanics, it's really fun to jump around bulding from building, running away from the volatiles... Damn, it's quite tense.. It's no picnic wandering around at night!

The gameplay is very well done, fighting hordes of zombies is not a good idea, specially because you don't want to use a firearm (If you can find one, all you have at the very beginning of the game is a pipe!), bullets aren't laying around y'know and the gunfire attracts virals... Not a good look! Graphics are pretty good, same for the history and music. Honestly there's nothing to complain about this game. You can run it on a laptop, even a dual core one can handle it, but you need a dedicated graphic card!

Do I recomend this game? Yeah boys and girls, I do!

I have the original Sonic games for the Sega Mega Drive (Known as Sega Genesis in US). However, I never had the chance to play this Sonic CD on the day, which could only be played in the Sega CD, a periphal CD driver with its own CPU which could be connected to the Mega Drive expansion bay.

It's an excellent game, it has the same playability of the originals plus some cool stuff! You can travel in time, it's possible to go to the past and future of every zone. Both the past and future levels have their own music track, different level design and different enemies. Travelling to the past, it's possible to change the future, which can be either good or bad. In the good future the environment is more delightful, there's no polution. On the other hand, in the bad future, it's precisely the opposite, water and air polution and there are even more enemies in this scenario.

The chaos emeralds scenario level is very interesting in this game, it's 3D! You can move in every direction, like in Sonic 3D.

It's interesting to note that this Steam version has Tails as a playable character. Not to mention that you can play in 720p HD and 1080p Full HD resolutions. The Sega Mega Drive console is able to output 240i and 240p only, a huge difference!

So yeah, I recomend this game, it's worth playing!
