Whether a seasoned pro or a first time player, Madden will guide you in the right direction to fun.
If Benny Hill was adapted to a computer game... this would pretty much be it.
Professional Farmer 2017 may cut too close to the bone... though I suspect actual farmers may say their reality is more fun.
Choose your own adventure meets D & D without the ability to keep your finger in the choice page to find out if you want to take back your move.
What's more dangerous than a worm? A worm in an armoured mech!
Damn you Telltale games... now I have to wait for episode 2 before I can don the cape and cowl again...
Good for an adventure gaming fix… and if you like a touch of horror thrown in… well you’d be hard pressed to find a better blending of the two.
Build your own Timezone, or Tons of Fun.
It's not hard to see why this won a number of BAFTA awards… it is one of those examples that comes about from time to time of gaming being art. A true visual novel that draws you in and leaves you wanting more. Fantastic voice acting and musical score really just provide icing on the cake here. Very worthwhile!
If you want a fun party game this is a great choice… you have the "brand" of the Olympics plus the characters you know (and at least some you probably love). The controls aren't overly taxing which can be a negative if you like a challenge… but are great for when you just want to enjoy the game, especially with friends.
American Truck Simulator Arizona DLC is country driving at its best!
Harking back to the days of Sierra with a more indie darker bent.
Why play as a run of the mill fighter character when you can play as someone from a different genre?
Glowing stitch saves the forest.
Simple enough to pick up, but tricky to really master, UFC2 has a lot going for it and if you are a fan of the sport it’s certainly worth the purchase. The roster is right up to date and if you feel a bit quirky (and don’t mind a bit of DLC) you can add Mike Tyson and Bruce Lee to your roster.
Live the dream... jump in your big rig and travel all over the countryside.
Humanities last hope... is you!
If Tower Defense isn't your style though, then give this a miss… the different genre elements do make it more interesting and entertaining, but there isn't really enough there to make it a lasting experience… play through is extended a little by having the four different characters but the experience is not sufficiently different with each one to really make it much of a draw to play again just to see a few different weapons or short cut scenes.
Nostalgia with a visual upgrade but gameplay stagnation.
Dysentery is the least of your concerns.
