It would have been great back in the era of the PlayStation 1. But it hasn't stood up to the test of time. The graphics are tolerable, but the tracks are very plain. There is basically no penalty for going off the road, and you can cut every corner. Left 5 Right 5 Left 5 just turns into driving straight and cutting through the grass.

I found the handling to feel stiff in simulation mode. It felt kind of realistic, but also just not.

The single player campaign is entertaining and well polished. I am always delighted when historically set video games use real historical events in the games, and Enemy Front delivered. There is a mission set in Norway where you fire torpedoes from a shoreline battery, it was such a unique event and I had never heard of such a thing before. After playing it I immediately searched the internet for information about it only to find out that the location in the game is a real location, and the sinking of a ship by that shoreline battery actually occurred in World War II. That totally made my day, I love when a video game lets me experience something from history, and I learn something new. Very cool.

Unfortunately, the multiplayer is dead as far as I can see. No one online.

Overall, gameplay wise, there is nothing spectacular here. Enemy Front is a well-made World War II FPS, and if you are into that like I am, you will enjoy it.

The storyline in this game is so terribly bad it will make your stomach turn. And the voice acting is laughably awful. However, the content of the game itself, the levels, artwork, weapons, are suprisingly well done. Its a shame because if they ditched the terrible story, lame cutscenes and hired decent voice actors this could have been a really great game... but as its stands its more of a funny "B" game.

Of other things to note, there is not one, not two, but fifteen medkits around every single corner, door, hall and crate which is more funny than anything. The flamethrower is extremely effective against you, but useless against enemies. The "bosses" are extremely irritating, if I played the game again I would just use godmode for those parts as they are just very annoying. Don't even bother playing the last mission with the ugly bald guy in the tank, it takes forever and is super boring, irritating even.

Buy it when it is $2 or less if you like WWII games, want to laugh at the bad story, and for the really cool train mission.

Fun side scroller with very pretty graphics and a decent storyline. The controls are a bit clunky in some of the fast-paced jumping puzzle sections, but these are fortunately few and far between. Overall very fun, worth the money.

Mirrors Edge is an interesting new experience, but the needless inclusion of guns and FPS mechanics destroys the core free running gameplay in the latter half of the game. I still recommend you give it a try, just because it is such a unique game, but it is only a shell of what it should have been.

It's Grand Theft Auto meets Far Cry. Roam around a Stunning collection of tropical islands causing trouble and blowing things up left and right. The graphics are beautiful, and you will never run out of interesting things to do.

The playable area is GIGANTIC, and amazingly, has no loading screens while moving around. To give you an idea, I would say the size of the map is on-par with the map in GTA: San Andreas. When you try to drive to that objective on the other end other end of the world, it doesn't look so far away on the map, but you quickly realize that you are in for a good half hour long drive.

There is a main storyline, and it is interesting, absurd and goofy, similar to GTA: Vice City or San Andreas.

An absolute must buy.

This game is incredibly fun for being so simple. You cruise around by yourself or with groups of people and blast away at various monsters. But beware, you can easily be blown away, and if you are, you wont be coming back. When your character dies, they are gone for good, along with all their gear! This is a game that truly makes you cautious to go running into a fight.

Its also totally free, and there is nothing in the game that requires you to spend money. The only things that can be purchased are extra character slots, item storage space, or aesthetic items.

Easily one of the most beautiful and interesting games I have played in years. The concept is very simple, its your same basic FPS combat, except in zero gravity. There is no up or down, and an enemy player could come at you from any direction. The combat mechanics are very solid, and the movement controls are easy to use once you get a feel for the zero gravity environment.

Oh, and did I mention it is BEAUTIFUL?

Only thing to beware of: The game is VERY graphics heavy. I got 30 FPS with an ATI Radeon 5770 1GB. However, even 15 FPS is enough to play the game without issue, as the movement is very smooth and steady, so a high FPS is not needed here. However, do beware that lowering the graphics settings makes little if any performance improvement, so if you have a weak graphics card, don't buy this game.

Nazi Dinosaurs - what more could you want?

Dino D-Day pits the mostly human Allied team against the mostly pre-historic Axis team, in an all out battle of skill and extreme laughter. Many people simply pass the game off as "Day of Defeat with Dinos", and while the graphics and mechanics are similar to Day of Defeat: Source, I assure you the gameplay is extremely unique, and worth the low price tag.

This is the RPG for science fiction fans. No magic, no crazy impossible physics. Everything has a scientific background and explanation, and there is lots to read about the different worlds and concepts in the game, if you choose to read up on it. The environments are beautiful, and the shooting part of the gameplay is pretty solid. Easily one of my favourite games.
