- Do you like Castlevania?
- Have you every asked yourself, "Jee, what would 20XX be like if I could play as Richter Belmont?"
- Do you like spamming powers in 20XX?
- Do you want to be a GOD?

If you've answered "Yes" to any of these questions, then Hawk is a matchmade in heaven. Hawk features a new unique style of gameplay to 20XX akin to that of the Castlevania series, using a whip as a primary weapon for utility to steal energy from her enemies and then use that said energy to spam the ever living hell out the powers she acquires.

Players who rely more on Nina and Ace's standard attacks more may find Hawk to be tricky to use at first as her Whip is not a high damage dealing weapon. As stated, Hawk's abilities are more similar to playing Richter Belmont from games like Symphony of the Night and Portrait of Ruin where power usage is key to winning.

If you can acquire the Owlhawk CORE Set, Hawk becomes a GOD in 20XX and will obliterate everything in her path.

She's a great addition to the 20XX cast and I highly recommend picking her up while she's on sale (or even when she's not)!

I look forward to seeing what other potential new characters could show up in the game.

Dariusburst: Chronicle Saviours is a game that completely took me by surprise until I got an E-mail giving me a 50% coupon for this game, and once I saw it, I immediately had to buy it.
I grew up playing the legendary Shoot-Em-Ups of the SNES and SEGA Genesis era, those being Gradius, R-Type, and of course, Darius Force (And Darius Twin). Later on I went on to play G-Darius and then didn't really touch it again until now.

Any fans of the SHMUP genre should pick this up, and I myself have been trying hard to spread this news around to all of my friends to get it as well. It's a MUST HAVE for your Steam Library. This game features over +3000 stages (no, this is not an exageration), 47 Bosses, and over a dozen ships (5 currently DLC, which are also worth the money!) each with their own characteristics, weapons, and abilities that adds an amazing amount of replay value never before seen in ANY SHMUP game since R-Type Final.

My hope is that with the release of the SEGA SHMUP Franchise ships available, Taito will hopefully gain exclusive rights to include the legendary fighters, the Vic Viper of Gradius fame, and the R-9 Arrowhead of R-Type fame respectively into this game. If they do, this game will earn a perfect 10 in my book.

PROS:

-Great SHMUP Mechanics
-Tight controls
-Fairly leanant difficulty curve so any person can pick up the game and play
-4-Player Co-op offers shared power-up pick ups, which has never been done before
-Great Boss Fights
-+3000 Stages!! Can you beat them all?
-Varied Silver Hawk Ships from the earlier games complete with their weapons and abilities

CONS:

-The Harder Stages (EX Mode) will really test your patience
-4-Player Co-op is only for local play, so make sure to grab extra controllers
-Considering there are 3000 stages, some might start to feel "samey", considering there are 47 bosses spreaded amongst them, and not all of them appear in every Game Mode.


Overall, this game will keep you entertained for hours, and it's a great way to introduce any newcomers into the SHMUP franchise and prepare them for the much harder bullet hell games that are currently for sale on Steam. I highly recommend this as a real Steam Library keeper.

Undertale is one of those few games that successfully pulls at every emotion you have. Happiness, sadness, anger, fear, and even madness.

An RPG/Bullet Hell game where the final outcome is only determined by your own Hope and Determination. Will you do the right thing and show the game that you are someone who believes that there is something to life? That it's something we hold something dear to and shouldn't squander what we have?
The world seeks to show us that there is no more hope left in the world. This game proves otherwise, but only if you're willing to help show that. If you do, truly you have proven yourself that hopes and dreams will never die.

But heed my warning, reader. If you wish to stomp, tear, dash, rip, and destroy those hopes and dreams.

You will have a bad time...

You will never be forgiven...

He knows what you've done...

You will never escape your fate...

Undertale is one of the best, beautiful crafted, well thought out stories that the RPG genre hasn't seen in many a years. The writing is genius and clever, the programming, everything has been layed out perfectly by Toby Fox that it is truly scary if you delve into the games darker secrets, but at the sametime, is richly rewarding to those who wish to follow the heed of the game's underlining theme: "A game where no one has to die."

You will not regret buying this game.

But you may regret your decisions if you don't heed the warning.

Afterall, HE is watching you...

==FORWARNING==

Despite the "Nudity" tag being the second thing you see on this game, this game is not a Hentai Game, the game IS Ecchi, however I am bold enough to state that this game should not be approached as a Hentai Game. If you want that sort of "satisfaction" you're better off playing Hunie Pop.

With that out of the way I will say that when I initially saw the game I was skeptical, but when a friend of mine (who I might add gave me the game as a gift) told me the premise of the game, I realized that this was for me.
What exactly was that realization? The fact that I have the ability, to punch someone so hard, their clothes come flying right off of them. I myself have watched a few animes (but am in no way an "Anime Otaku") and am rather surprised by the fact that this trope hasn't exactly been executed as much. I think I've only watched like 3 out of roughly like 12 animes that did this, so the fact I am able to play a game that does this and is basically the entire premise of the game (to strip the clothes off your enemies in the most rediculous and awesome ways possible) I was sold the minute I had my first real official battle in the game.

The game's battle system moves fairly well and has a similar counter mechanic to like that of maybe the Arkum Series (block attack and then immediately counter), there are a ton of weapons you can use at your disposal each with different combos and also different "Strip Animations" you can obtain in the game's Battle Arena that get more epic and rediculous with each unlock. The story is, oddly enough, a somewhat refreshing storyline, where you have been turned into some sort of superhuman and must fight off manmade energy sucking vampires called "Synthisters" which must be defeated by exposing their flesh to the sunlight, which means you've got to beat the ever daylights out of them until you're capable of ripping (or actually safely removing) their clothes off. Some of the characters do feel a little one-dimensional, but the more interesting characters (like your little sister whom you must love with all your heart!!!) keep the story fresh and entertaining. The English Dubbing is not bad either, at first I was skeptical given the female protagonist's uncanny Raven-esque tone of voice felt off at first, but I've gotten use to it and her personality starts to make more sense as you learn about her (no spoilers here).
The game is grindy, but this is one of those games that doesn't get boring at all, every battle feels like one of your favorite slice-of-life anime fights that ends in some rediculous way, and with the different strip animations you can obtain along with the dozen of weapons available, you'll be entertained for quite sometime.

As stated at the beginning, this is not a Hentai game, nor should be approached as such. While you can probably get your kicks with ripping off Female clothing like a crazed sex-offender, but if you want your full pleasure, this game isn't going to give that to you, so please, for the sake of everyone, don't try to go that far. :\

Overall, with a fun combat system, fantastic soundtrack, and amazing feel for Japan's lively city of Akihabara, this is a game I'm pretty sure will keep you thoughourly entertained for hours to come.

This game is a Third-Person Action Shooter with lots of parkour, up-close melee combat, and plenty of powers and guns to keep each game going at a nice, fast pace.
I will say this, the game will require quite a bit of time before it really becomes truly enjoyable, however recent updates have allowed players to get good loot fairly early to have an edge in battle and then allow the player to start working towards the more powerful items. Most weapons are fairly balanced (except for most beginner weapons, which are extremely weak---Don't pick up the Lato and AkLato) and with the right amount of tweaking, can be easily used for late game, but some weapons were designed to go into much further late game play.

The community is probably one of the friendliest groups around as the game is more centered on PVE than PVP and most players will be on the same playing field as you, so never hesitate to ask questions and ask for help from others.

The game updates very frequently and is always handing out new content, including weapons (not DLC), quests (not DLC), and enemies (not DLC). Did I mention this game has no DLCs? The only thing purchased with IRL money is just for quick advantages at earning weapons and Warframes that can be obtained in game with enough patience and some cosmetics as well, but the game is very far from Pay-To-Win as anyone can get the same advantage as everyone else, it's just a matter if you want that advantage sooner, so never feel like you're hard-pressed to purchase something.

The only quirp I have against this game is that connection issues can sometimes be a hinderence, either preventing you from joining or just out-right ending the game when players join, but if you have a fairly decent connection, there isn't anything to worry about.

Overall it's a fun game that is still expanding with a good community. I highly recommend this game.

Besides, it's Space Ninjas! How much more awesome can that get?

Borderlands 2 is Borderlands 1, but better.

Everything that needed improvement has been improved, and theirs a whole metric-butt-ton of items to get your grubby mits on in this game. Borderlands 2 takes place a couple years after the first game, and sets a much, much darker tone than its predecessor. While the storyline has some OMGWTFBBQ moments, the high octane, running and gunning, massive looting spree gameplay will keep you on the edge of your seat.

The game's humor has also been given an upgrade as well as the language level has been considerably toned down-- Although I swear there's a ton more inneundos than the first game, but that's beside the point.

Borderlands 2 is a breath of fresh air to the RPG-Styled First Person Shooter series and the game will not dissapoint.
