In the end; Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine II delivers action and lots of it and enough of a story to keep players motivated through the carnage and unending waves of enemies.
The graphics may be a bit dated for some but the action is fast and the crisp sound effects makes this an engaging and fun game for hardcore and casual fans and gamers.
Star Wars: Outlaws has surpassed my expectations and has provided me with hours of great Star Wars content and new characters to enjoy.
Those looking for some straight-up action without having to focus on plot and puzzles; this may be just the game for you.
One can certainly not argue with the price and with community feedback being implemented into future updates; XDefiant can become a signature FPS for Ubisoft and is an engaging game for those willing to invest their time.
It will be interesting to see if attempts are made to bring this kind of treatment to System Shock 2; but for now; it was not only a compelling trip down memory lane, but a challenging gaming experience that is now available for consoles after being released previously on PC.
It will be interesting to see what the future holds for the game, but for now, it delivers on its potential and the potential for an even brighter future exists.
While Multiplayer would have been fun as Co-Op and other modes would add to the experience; the retro action brought plenty of enjoyment.
My only real concern was the length of the game as with six levels of play; the game can be completed in a short time as most levels only take 15-30 minutes at most for players to complete.
The sheer variety of options from vehicles to battlefield settings makes the release very compelling but naturally the previously mentioned bugs greatly detract from the expectations of the potential of the release. As it stands now; the collection comes across more as a work in progress that does show promise and hopefully will be given the attention and care that it needs to give fans the updated yet retro Star Wars experience they desire.
The game has been one of our favorites of the year and I look forward to hopefully seeing new content released for the game in the not-too-distant future.
While the challenge may not be enough for seasoned gamers; the charming world and characters are engaging and keep you coming back.
While it is definitely a casual game it is a very enjoyable way to pass the time with friends or by yourself as well as the enjoyable cast of cats.
While the retro graphics take some adjustment like what is and is not a switch or door that can be manipulated, the randomness of Blaster fire, and enemies who do not employ some of the more advanced A.I. tactics; the game is great fun to play.
For a change if pace and a great blend of styles and gameplay; this is a visually appealing and diverse game that will grow on you.
From the winning mix of action and humor to the numerous variations the gameplay offers Bulletstorm is a nostalgic trip back but it continues to make me wish that a sequel would happen as this is what the fans want.
Ripout is a must-play for fans of the genre and those looking for something new and challenging.
If you are a fan of the series and have reasonable expectations going in then this is a release you may very well enjoy.
While it does not bog down into the extreme levels of crafting and micromanagement that some racing Sims do; the game knows who its core audience is and presents a solid new entry in the series which should keep fans happy as will the likely abundance of upgrades coming in the future.
The detail and nostalgia level alone makes the game a must for fans and the creepy fun is a must for horror fans.
