It was OKAY...I guess. It wasn't "bad." It was good either. It felt like yet another cowboy game.

For some reason, I felt a little disconnected from this game. As I've always felt, Red Dead is just GTA: Horseback, as is. Yet, the online play invite a lot of the issues I have with online play, in general.

PROS:
Graphic are still top tier
The story is decent for what it is
I love the open world

CONS:
Online communities are kinda toxic; people can truly be themselves without the fear of retaliation
It becomes a tad uninteresting, after a while

OVERALL:
Play it only as a supplement to the original game, not as the primary. If you never play it, you'll miss nothing.

Great game! Worth the purchase.

PROS:
It has a deep story mode.
The moves are easy to pull off.
The combos are effective.
The super combos are entertaining.

CONS:
Not a significant upgrade from the original. It looks much better but it's the same game.
It's a little too easy for noobs to pick up and play, in multiplayer.
Although the super combos are cool, they're repetitive; they should all have multiple super combos.
It seems as though CPU opponents' movements are skipping frames to manipulate the pace of the fight.

Buy it but you won't be amazed.

Postal 2 is weird for no reason, sometimes and story feels like they threw a bunch of ideas around and put them in the game, with no thought.

I hate side missions. Every main objective feels like an unnecessary side quest and they last too long.

Postal 2 wasn't "bad" but it wasn't good either...

Shadow of War is an upgrade to Shadow of Mordor in almost every way, although some problems still exists.

PROS:
I enjoyed how the game splits into three different stories. It made the game feel bigger.
I noticed that a lot of players are angry the game features a black protagonist, despite there being blacks in Middle Earth...
I like how they've added more variety to the boss characters.
No more random, repetitive boss fights.
The graphics are much improved. The level of details are bounds better that Mordor.

CONS:
The controls are A LITTLE BETTER than the last game, which doesn't say much. The controls aren't "bad" but...
They made the game tougher by adding more on-screen enemies, instead of evolving the enemy AI.

OVERALL:
BUY THIS GAME. Some players complain about it not being canon to the Lord of the Ring lore, which is not true. The Middle Earth saga is a continuation of the lore. I don't have a problem with that. Also, most complainers don't really know the story thoroughly, anyway.

It was fun game, similar to the old-school Sega CD and 3Di games of the early '90s.

PROS:
Funny story
Easy to pick up and play
It seems as though the actors were having fun
Short and to the point
No convoluted plots, just a guy waking up in the middle of chaos

CONS:
I enjoyed it so much that I felt it was too short, at times
Not much replay value
A sequel is overdue

OVERALL:
BUY IT. IT'S AWESOME!

THE BEST THING ABOUT THIS GAME WAS...

Even after almost 10 years, Spec Ops: The Line is still fun. It has definitely aged but not too badly. The story is relevant in this era of the Global War of Terror. It's a game that we'll be talking about decades from now.

PROS:
- The mechanics feel a little old-school but work mostly
- The story is incredible
- I like the characters and I genuinely feel bad for them when they die
- PTSD is a terrifying illness that's sorely under-evaluated
- The graphics are okay, for an old game

CONS:
- You have no control over the outcomes of the game, until the end. Interactive choices are just an illusion
- You cannot refuse to use "white phosphorous." If you haven't played it, you'll understand later...
- Enemies could have been a little more intelligent, despite it being a self-aware over-the-top action game

The campaign is fantastic, as usual. The multiplayer mode is nothing new to the franchise. Point and shoot opponents before they get you. Simple. I recommend.

Regardless of how you feel, you have to give it up to Activision. They go all out, in their campaigns.

The gameplay is OKAY. Mechanically, it has a few flaws but nothing game breaking. After you get over seeing that big, phat jiggly ass in your face, you'll see how great the actual game is. I'm still waiting on the sequel.
