The game itself is fairly simplistic and short but the characters, story and context carry you through.

Titanfall is I think the ultimate example of a game that where you get into a nice groove it is masterful and bliss to play. Playing it reminds me of when I really got into COD 4 and COD MW2. I worry though about the lack of content and how long it will sustain me.… Expand

The storyline and location interested me greatly, the game looks amazing and the idea of playing the game how to want sounded fantastic, however this was the most disappointing game I have ever purchased. In a nutshell it's over repetitive, the stealth mechanics seem to be almost broken, every character outside the safe zones attacks you and getting around is just a drag especially when you lose a vehicle. I can see how some people could love this game with so many great ideas, but it just wasn't the game I was expecting. All my complaints have been corrected by Far Cry 3 which is excellent and was the game I think I was expecting from Far Cry 2.… Expand

Graphically was stunning with several wow moments, and the sound was excellent. Gameplay wise it's an awful lot of fun with the options created the nano suit and the weapon attachments. I love playing stealthy and picking off enemies one by one and loved the fact this game presented with this option. Felt the campaign was just long enough to always hold my attention and not make me hope the end is soon. The problems are in my opinion the Geth which are just not as fun to fight as soilders, and taking about the big walker units is just annoying on the hardest difficulty. Multiplayer is perfectly serviceable but failed to hold my attention like COD4 or COD:MW2 which I previously played extensively. Can get it for £5 in a lot of stores now making it a real must buy.… Expand

Hitman: Absolution

It's not a bad game (a good game I would argue) but it does not feel like a real Hitman game as many people have pointed out. It reminds meIt's not a bad game (a good game I would argue) but it does not feel like a real Hitman game as many people have pointed out. It reminds me more of one of the early Splinter Cell games as you slip pass searching guards. The hits have been made far too easy in my opinion, most missions you can follow the target around until they stop somewhere that no one else is looking then you just fibre wire them and stick them in a conveniently place container. If your a long time fan you will get some enjoyment, just don't go expecting too much.

Looks good though...… Expand
