RAW feels like a stripped down of version of previous games in this genre, with incredibly reduced loot, stat, skill system and total linearity. Also add lack of area map of any kind, very few different kind of monsters and walking back great distances to complete side quests. There are no portals to travel, no clever tricks to employ, nothing - you just walk straight, killing mobs and hoping that another horde spawned behind your back won't kill you while you are dealing with adversaries ahead of you. There always *that* haunting feel that devs tried to make this game as unlikeable as possible. Still, I give this game 5/10 because it might come in handy when taking a break from more complex games like Torchlight 1 / 2

Horribly buggy game with broken balance, completely linear storyline and utter lack of common sense. Some quests make no sense at all, and even supposed "helper" at Lucius' desk doesn't do much good either. Not to mention technical glitches and broken lighting on AMD graphics Final fight is atrocious to say the least. My score is 1/10 for trying

Game is bearable, unless you are hunting for abundant secret spots / easter eggs, where broken jump mechanics completely ruin the experience. Not to mention walking through textures

Overlord proved to be one of the most atmosphere-heavy games in my entire gaming experience Locations and settings range widely: sun-lit village with dimwitted peasants, dark caves filled with poisonous foliage, sand-dunes with dangerous predators, zombie-infested town and cemetery, dwarven breweries and metalworks, great castle, tavern... All that adds to a great experience. Controls are better in PC version (better camera handling,most importantly). Minion element spices up the gameplay, making player think what tactics to choose, instead of diving straight into the battle. Satirical humor and voices in the game are plain fantastic too. Overall great experience for those who like 3rd person action games, and those who enjoy RTT

Grand Theft Auto IV represents one of the worst attempts to make even mildly serious game in completely psychedelic franchise. Good job R*, you just ruined GTA. Buggy PC port is also a serious issue.

Short, unimaginative gangster story. This covers the plot part. Bugs, severe gameplay restrictions, awkward controls, almost non-existent cover system and lack of proper sandbox mode plaque this game. The only good things are realistic graphics, and probably soundtrack. In every other aspect however, Mafia 2 falls short of its predecessor, as well as of The Saboteur which is set roughly in the same time frame and released 8 months prior to Mafia 2

While this franchise (and Dead Space 2 in particular) might cater to b-grade-horror-movie lovers, gamers with somewhat more refined taste will find Dead Space to be full of cheap scares, sudden noises, mildly awkward controls and clichÃd plot points.

Nice visual style, features, gameplay. Somewhat repetitive maybe, but so is every hack-and-slash game ever released. Modest price and less idiotic DRM than the one used in upcoming Diablo III make this game a sight for sore eyes when it comes to looking for some good-old hack-em-up action!

Glitches, lags and bugs: 1. New "stitchless neighborhood" system seems fine at first, but is extremely laggy when used - textures sure like taking their sweet time to load (even on high-end systems) 2. Bugs: objects from one floor above displaying (mid-air) on floors below, families losing their ID (making entire town unable to progress further) etc. 3. Pricy expansion packs, stuff packs and Sims Store content, while few of them actually cost as much; 4. Ridiculous building limitations and many other things I don't want to describe (because it will take a couple of hours) I rate 2 for the effort.

Intriguing sight at first, boring and repetitive just a bit later. Not to mention designers' knack for filling game with cheap scares, such as sudden noises, power outages etc.
