I tried the demo, played a few videos, and was quite impressed with it.
I had a few other Media-Players installed on my computer, but right away I could notice better crispness, clarity and an overall greater quality of the video and audio that I see and hear with Zoom Player. I like the simplicity and intuitive feel of the controls, yet there are still a lot of options available that I can experiment with and set things to how I like. This will now be my default Media Player, and I'm glad to have bought the full version to help support the Developers of this high-quality software.

PS: As for the argument I see from some, "Why buy Zoom Player when there's plenty of free media-players available?".... Well, call me strange, but I like to help support the Developers of programs I enjoy and use.

Yes, there's free media-players out there, but they also tend to have a "Donate" option some place on their website or an option to upgrade to a Pro version. Plus, there's also a free-version of Zoom-Player that can be downloaded as well.

Though there are a few annoyances about this game (Requires crappy Games-for-Windows-Live, can be a bit "buggy" to get working properly, it's poorly optimized, some particular missions are incredibly / frustratingly difficult to complete, etc...), overall this game (along with the Episodes from Liberty City) has a lot of action (with a mix of shooting and driving), great story, top voice-acting, decent graphics (and the various cut-scenes are well done) a wide selection of in-game music to listen to while driving, mature themes and some bits of humor too, all taking place in a "belivable" setting of what feels like a living & breathing city. I've put in a lot of playing-time and gotten much enjoyment from this game.

Be a detective in an immersive 1940's Las Angeles setting. This game has a nice mix of adventure and action. Find clues, interrigate suspects and solve cases. The story is good, nice voice acting, realistic character animations, good graphics and sound. I preferred playing this with a game-controller, but it also works fine with keyboard and mouse. Overall, I found the game to be enjoyable and it kept my interest to the end.

If you're looking for something a bit different to relax with, then I might suggest Farming Simulator. It's neat to use, see and hear the various equipment and vehicles in action. Satisfying to plant & harvest your crops then gradully build up your farm and gain more new equipment to use over time. If you have a steering-wheel controller, then it will be a more immersive expereince. If you have a friend or two that also has Farm-Sim, you can even do some farming together online.

This is the best version of a "Tower Defence" style game that I've ever played. Quite addictive, good graphics and animations. It's simple enough in concept to play yet it can get quite challenging too. It's a good "casual" type game in which you can return to time and again when the mood strikes to play something different for a little bit aside from the standard shoot-em-ups and racers.
