Sleeping Dogs is a good game, full of atmosphere recreating the gritty feel and beauty of Hong Kong, coupled with a good balance between gunplay and a martial arts combat system, engrossing story line and interesting missions makes Sleeping Dogs a fun and addictive game let down, only content and length, if Sleeping Dogs was longer and had more content it would be excellent.

Think Deus ex with modern graphics, but with a more streamlined gameplay, RPG & customisation options than the original its still worthy successor to the masterpiece original and a worthy addition to the Deus Ex series and for those who been fiending for Deus Ex this is a great fix.

While Deus Ex graphics now look very dated, to date no FPS can hold a candle to the depth of Deus Ex's RPG & character customisation, gameplay and story.

A decent FPS game with RPG and stealth elements that tells a decent story loaded with twists and turns with multiple endings depicting a one mans effort to create a wonderful utopia in an underwater city called Rapture yet tragically ending in a dystopian retro/Diesel punk nightmare apart from its well told story let down sightly by its bullet spongy enemeies FPS RPG elements are lacking and linear gameplay.

One of the best indie games out there. Bastion is a rich and beautiful game, with its story expertly narrated by the incredibly entertaining & funny Ruck which proves you don't need a AAA budget with full Voice-over characters to tell a good story and is a steal on the Steam sales for a couple of £/$

Rain of Rain has its own unique graphical charm (if a little unpolished) coupled with an awesome soundtrack and tough, fun, addictive indie roguelike gameplay Rain of Rain keeps you begging for more while rewarding your hard work gamers which are not familar with roguelikes maybe be a little intimidated with its tough unforgiving oldskool nature.

Mass Effect 3 **** sci-fi RPG, the online mode is fun, good graphics, great musical score, very good story, ME3 still plays well, with some of the best voice acting and performances in a game, while the ending has been updated and expanded making it barely durable, if you own Mass Effect 1&2 you may want to play ME3 for closure, but be prepared for the possibility be put off the franchise

Space Marine is a decent, satisfying bone crunching hack-and-slash shooter coupled with nice graphics and let down by its single player modes linear gameplay, dull environment and short longevity Warhammer 40K fans will like Space Marine but should grabbed in the Steam sales at 75%+ off.

An unique experience where the players choices are meaningful combine with its exceptional narrative makings this one of the best point clickers adventures around after completing the game I can truly see why many gaming sites gave The Walking Dead: A Telltale Games Series their Game Of The Year 2012 the only grip I have is that the steam version can be bugged with it save files but theirs a fix available.

At first glance one may be apprehensive to wanting to give Rebuild go due to its less than stellar visuals, but underneath the surface is a fun, addictive and robust zombie survival simulation & strategy game with a great spooky soundtrack and comic-book artwork which that fits in perfectly with the games atmosphere. While Rebuild is an indie must have classic it would certainly benefit from more content patches.

A real epic classic with two great tense and thrilling campaigns and an excellent story lines C&C Red Alert is the best RTS for both the PC and PS1 during the 90's

A fantastic Real-time tactical game with a decent Co-Op mode made this a real gem to own. The games graphic and soundtrack oozed cyberpunk too the point where you could taste the Megacorp, gloom, the acid rain and the dystopia With two very good campaigns playing either the EuroCorp or the Church of the New Epoch and the flexibility to complete mission in a variety of ways makes Syndicate Wars a worthy buy over at **** for all those RTS retro gamers

Large battles featuring up to 2000 players per continent and is a complete blast, never had so much fun with an online FPS in my whole gaming-life PlanetSide 2 is awesometacular

Batteship is one of the worst games to see the light of day, its so bad I wouldn't even touch it with a 80ft pole! its nothing more than a cheap shameless lazy cash in avoid.

A decent fantasy action role-playing game, the combat system requires tactical think due too three fighting styles and choosing between the steel and silver swords coupled with Alchemy the combat itself is a is a timed mouse clicking affair which can be somewhat off putting to some but once master is a fun and rewarding experience and you soon be hunting Trophy monsters. The Witcher has an adult themed story loaded with grit and lore supported with a great soundtrack, which is furthered by the consequences of the player's choices which unfold has the story progress's. The Witcher Enhanced Edition includes a "making of" DVD, a CD with 29 in-game soundtracks, another CD with "Inspired by" music, the short story The Witcher from the book The Last Wish, a map of Temeria printed on high quality paper, and the official strategy guide. In addition, a new and enhanced version of the D'jinni Adventure Editor this is a must for those who have played the Witcher 2 and certainly worth the checking for ARPG fans with the added bonus of the DRM removed by download the patch from the site.

If you love fantasy action role-playing games his is the game for you, with grit and lore from Andrzej Sapkowski work and CD Projekt RED being a fan friendly company even throwing in the upgrade to Enhanced Edition for free when most bigger companies would charge a fee its worth the buy.

One of the best Early modern period warfare game still and the first Total War to include actual naval combat, which is a plus and apart from the standard campaign mode which has large amount of content, the game includes a special campaign "Road to Independence" which chronicles the birth of the US from settlement of Jamestown to the American War of Independence and a multiplayer mode. With improved interface and controls 15+ nation including Native American armies & an introduction of a technology tree make Empire an excellent addition to the total war series and will provide many hours of gameplay & complex and rewarding fun. The only downside is the AI isn't always reliable & the custom mode lacks the some options and flexibility compared to medieval 2 all in all Empire is still a great strategy game

The fore fathers of Diablo 1&2 (the Schaefer's) take Blizzard back to school and shows them how an ARPG is to be done and does it all for a third of the Diablo 3 price bringing us a superbly crafted, well designed ARPG with random surprises. Runic not only just improved everything they did in Torchlight, but also added full mod support, Steam Workshop and yup internet and LAN play, makes torchlight 2 a great, fun and rewarding ARPG experience. This is everything Diablo 3 should of been and never will be, Runic is showing us that building great game is more important than making cash cows.

Guild Wars 2 is one of the best MMO's to be released in many years, its skill based mechanics is superb creating a really fun and addictive PvE PvP and WvWvW content and environment. ArenaNet has crafted their game very well, the aesthetics have been carefully crafted and fitted together, coupled with Jeremy Soule score it makes Guild Wars 2 look, sound and feel amazing while still setting its grim yet beautiful tone within the Guild Wars lore. Guild Wars 2 innovates the genre with very simple and yet very effective innovations and sets new high standards and mile stones for future MMO and all this with no subscription fees, ArenaNet as just not only put everything else in the genre to shame, but most of the MMO developers and their publishers too deep shame.

Medieval II: Total War after 6 years is still a decent 4x strategy game, single player campaign is nice, has a great custom battle mode (which is better than TW-Empire's) & the Gold Edition (Medieval II: Total War + Kingdoms Expansion Pack) can be picked up on **** for less than seven pound whats not to like.

The Diablo franchise has now been reduced to a shameless & soulless cash cow and a slap in the face to all to the fan-base, his is not the game the loyal fans deserved after 12 years of dedication & loyalty.

A perfect sandbox RPG, with awesome graphics which make Skyrim look beautiful, there's lots to do in Skyrim and plays like Lionel Messi, if you love fantasy RPG games then this is a must in your collection.
