A fun and relaxing game

Portal 2, just like its previous incarnation, was an amazing puzzle game. Altough not all of the puzzles were difficult and there were certain parts that I feel was a bit too "lonely", I put this game among my top 5 singleplayer campaigns.

New in Portal 2 is the ability to play with friends. This is a fun and cool way to solve puzzles with your friend.

At first "Poly Bridge" seemed like a game that would become repetitive, but after playing the tutorial levels and getting a hang of the basics, like wooden triangles, the game threw a few spanners into the works, and all of a sudden I was building bridges, that were less like bridges and more like ramps for schoolbuses.

All in all, "Poly Bridge" is an excellent bridge bulding game with playful graphics and models.

Euro Truck Simulator 2 (ETS2) is an amazing game if you are intersted in a realistic trucking experience. The game is great out of the box, but I would highly recomend the "Going East" expansion pack, and the newly released "Scandinavia" expansion as they add more countries and cities to visit.

I would definately recomend a powerful PC if you wish to run ETS2. I would also recomend using a steering whell and not the mouse and keyboard. I've personally used the Logitech G27.

BattleBlock Theater is a platformer, filled with channlenging puzzels, angry cats, dangerous water, gems and an awsome narrator. This game is definately more entertaining in Co-op mode with great friends. The storyline is great, the puzzels are difficult, yet entertaining. The narrator is great, introducing a lot of humour.

I would definately recommend this game to anyone intersted in a funny platformer!

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is a great multiplayer, competitive first person shooter.
The most commonly played gamemodes is Competitive, which is exactly the same game as the proffesional players play, making the pro macthes more "meaningful", since you can learn from them.

This version of CS introduced skins. Skins are just what they sound like, they are external changes to any weapon that you phurchsae a skin for. Skins can either be bought, recieved through in-game drops or by opening one of the many cases available. Skins is one of the reasons so many people watch promatches, they bet their skins. This adds "minigames" ito CS, case openings and trading skins.

The guns in CS:GO are depictions of real guns, making the scenarios more "believeable". The maps of CS:GO are all fantastic and each have intersting additions or special locations, like the "Silo" on "de_nuke".

All in all CS:GO is a great game if you are looking for a game that requires time and effort into improving in aiming, communication, teamwork and strategy. Antoher reason making this game a almost necessary phurchase is the price fluctuating around 10€-13€.

One of the best games I own!
