Sniper Elite 3 is great about making you feel like a one man army. The graphics look great, the gameplay is solid, and the killcam is always satisfying.

Pros:
good and satisfying gameplay
great graphics
good and responsive controls

Cons:
Bad AI

A short, but very good RPG. The system is deep enough to allow you to experiment with different builds. The characters are well designed, and there's some replayability in the game that comes with making different choices. The perspective is certainly new to me, and I recommend it if you enjoy RPGs.

Better and more immersive than the first game. Everything is pretty much a refinement of xcom 1, more of the same, with refinements here and there. There is a sense of urgency in the game though, as most scenarios are timed, which has both postive and negative effects. The positive is that they give you a sense of urgency, while at the same time, they take away slow, careful methodical approaches. The graphics are amazing. The alien research feature makes it so there is also a sense of urgency in the game as a whole, and not just in each individual mission.

A beautifully crafted adventure in the world of Borderlands. From the locations, the characters, the dialogue, everything is faithful to the borderlands universe. The humor is dead on, and the plot twists awesome. This is by far Telltale's best work. I would like javascript:DSelectNoop();a sequel to this!

This game is very good. I thoroughly enjoyed everything, and was left wanting for more when I finished the game. The locations and levels are well designed. The gameplay is very good, with multiple options available for you to complete your objectives. I played through the game as stealthily as possible, and the stealth gameplay is very satisfying. As my first Deus Ex game, it has completely engrossed me and made me look forward to future titles.

Gameplay: Good. The combat is easy to pick up. The combo system is solid. There's a combo system that is customizable and easy to pick up. The special abilities are useful, and executing combos rewards you by letting you use more special abilities. The remixes are neat and unique. There are a few puzzles, and they are quite easy and logical.

Graphics: Great. This game is gorgeous. There world is lovingly created, and it shows. Neo Paris looks great, and the characters look amazing.

Plot: Great. This is one of the few games where the plot is very original. The plot moves along quite nicely, with just enough mystery to keep you wanting to know more. There are some nice twists along the way. The plot, and world envisioned here is good enough to be a good movie.

Cons: Some of the fights, you're not quite sure what to do. The game eventually gives you some hints on what to do if it thinks you're stuck. Overall a very minor quibble.
