I was unsure if I wanted to play Outriders. I am an old-fashioned gamer who hates most multiplayer games. That this game was made with co-op in mind, my inclination was to avoid it. However, I played the demo and wound up buying the game. I have not regretted it. Playing single-player is quite a blast. The World Tier system allows me to moderate the difficulty very well. The gums remind me of another co-op game I took a chance on - Borderlands. This is a blast to play. There are bugs - more than a few - but they do not take away so much from the joy of playing.

I first played this game on PS3 when it came out. Myself and two friends would log on every night and tackle a few missions. We were all fathers or soon-to-be fathers and it was a nice distraction from the stress of life. Blow things to smitherines, solve some rudimentary puzzles, but mostly, grab massive amounts of loot! Many a night was spent blasting beasties on some mission that involved killing lots of beasties. The game does not attempt to be something that it is not. Additionally, it doesn't take itself seriously at all. The humor in the game is fantastic.

This is honestly the best PC game I have ever played...and played...and played. I have logged hundreds of hours unwinding the various and sundry quest, story lines, and characters! All three of the Witcher games are fun to play, but this one has more too it than the first two.

I didn't think I would like this game. I went in with a very negative mindset. It isn't that I don't like South Park, I just didn't see how it could be turned into a fun RPG. Boy was I wrong. This game has me going on quest after quest and laughing while I am doing it. Not only does it include some of the best aspects of a good RPG, it also has some excellent humor in it.

It there is a downside, it is that you, the protagonist, never actually speaks. If ever a sequel is created, or it the people who wrote this game try their hands at some new IP, I strongly suggest adding in a dialog system to further draw in the player. However, other than that, I don't think there are many glaring flaws in the game, which is saying something for a game that is based on a TV show whose sole purpose is to mock everything and anything,

Terrific game. Every choice you make affects the story to some degree. The graphics are comic-booky, which is great since it is an adaptation of a comic book series. Highly recommend.

From the people who brought you The Walking Dead Season 1 & 2 and The Tales from Monkey Island comes this AMAZING adaptation of the FABLES comic book series. The graphics alone are enough to fall in love with, but the story in just as enticing. Like their The Walking Dead series, this game is mostly about the choices you make. Every choice affects the story so you have to put some thought into what you are going to do.
So far only Episode 1 is out, but Episode 2 could drop any day. Pick this game up - $25 for even just Episode 1 is a great deal, but it will get you the entire season as each episode is released!

Addictive. Full of quests. Huge open world. Dragons. Magic. Lore. Tyrants. Theives. Maidens. Orphans. What more could you aask for in a CRPG?! This is the pinnacle of The Elder Scrolls games.

Endless Space is an excellent 4X game. Plenty of races, plenty of configurations, plenty of lost time playing this game. This beats all other 4X games I have played in the last few years.
