Homeworld is a space RTS game released in 1999, it gained popularity by not only creating the single most intuitive space strategy mechanic to date, but also had an amazing story line and one of the most beautiful music scores ever. In Homeworld and Homeworld 2, resource management is key, every resource you collect on one mission gets transferred to your next, so it is a good idea to use it wisely, often relying on salvage ships to steal enemy ships over building your own. Space combat is done on a fully 3D plane, where ships can easily move in all 3 axis, which at the time was revolutionary.

Gearbox did an amazing job in remastering this great gem, the graphics is amazing, while keeping the story and the music intact the game is truly perfect now. They made some UI and control changes but in the end it results in a smoother gameplay.

There are a few minor bugs such as a sound issue with ship engines when too many of them are moving at once, and the tutorial being slightly broken (you get asked to press okay to continue to the next segment but the tutorial continues on as if you already pressed it), however these are minor gripes and does nothing to ruin this wonderful title.

My ratings are as follows:
Graphics 8
Music 10
Story 10
Gameplay 9

Arma 3 is a visually stunning sequal to the legendary army simulator Arma 2.

Although the game is amazing, it still feels incomplete, but because of it being one of those games that are continuesly developed I will say that it is not a major issue, for what there is in the game thus far is well polished.

Optimasation is a slight issue still, but will hopefully be fixed in future updates.

All in all a great work-in-progress title.

This game is amazing, it truly brings back the old school arcade game we all know and love.

The game runs wonderfully smooth while still having stunning graphics, very very well optimised.

Gameplay is intuitive while at the same time familiar, allowing you to smash buttons at your hears content.

Pros: Great graphics, smooth gameplay, wonderful set of characters

Cons: None

Recommend a xbox 360 controller for best experiance.

This game does not deserve the bad rep it has received, there I said it. Yes the game was buggy as hell on release, but the point is they fixed it, the game runs really smoothly now, the graphics is pretty decent, the new features are awesome, especially the random events and weather changes, the story is not bad at all and I enjoyed the fact that you can place and rotate buildings a little bit more freely then in the previous games, the smallish mapsizes are a downside but not a big one.

Seriously try the game, and do so with an open mind and without listening to all the reviews out there, judge for yourself and you may find a nice little gem in this game, I rate it 7.5/10

Dark Souls is an awesome RPG with an insane difficulty, though the PC version of it is one of the worst ports out there, downloading DSFIX(just google it) fixes all the issues i had with it, including the poor graphics. Prepare for the most difficult, frustrating yet ultimately fun game you will ever get your hands on.

Pros:Great, smooth gameplay, awesome level design, awesome enemies.

Cons:Bad pc port, poor graphics(can be fixed with DSFIX)
