Though is forgoes the engines of war most often associated with those titles, it offers an intensely interesting, fast-paced and addictive distraction. Though it may not win any graphic contests against the current PC game heavy hitters, the game is undeniably fun and engaging to a point that belies its simple origins." http://reviewoutpost.com/viewnews.goo?/news/2009-02/09-000014 Mon, 09 Feb 2009 00:00:14 MST Grand Theft Auto IV - Worthplaying 7.0 "Technically speaking, Grand Theft Auto IV for the PC is not a bad game, and it sets out to hit all of the notes that it attempted. The entire game has a feeling of misdirected effort, as if Rockstar sat down to rejuvenate the franchise without knowing particularly how and simply stuck every idea, gimmick and cliché they could think of into one big ball, like some sort of Katamari of game elements with the old GTA feeling at the core." http://reviewoutpost.com/viewnews.goo?/news/2009-02/04-000014 Wed, 04 Feb 2009 00:00:14 MST Brothers In Arms: Hell's Highway - Worthplaying 7.0 "It's a poignant story hampered with some aging gameplay mechanics. In an already crowded genre, the gimmicks and familiarities are really only going to appeal to series stalwarts. Unfortunately for the Brothers in Arms saga, there are better, more polished games to be had out there right now, and it may get forgotten for not being all that it could be." http://reviewoutpost.com/viewnews.goo?/news/2009-01/07-000014 Wed, 07 Jan 2009 00:00:14 MST Sacred 2: Fallen Angel - Worthplaying 7.2 "For players who can't get their fill of killing hordes of monsters and collecting loot no matter what the local NPC may ask them to do for it, opening the nearest portal to Ancaria's past might just be the thing that their sword arm or wizardly aspirations will enjoy as the perfect distraction." http://reviewoutpost.com/viewnews.goo?/news/2008-12/29-000014 Mon, 29 Dec 2008 00:00:14 MST Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning - Worthplaying 8.9 "Despite all of this, it's perhaps telling that most of the negative points have been shunted into the last few paragraphs. As major as some sound, the superb RvR makes up for it. It's difficult to recommend Warhammer Online to anyone who isn't into player vs. player, as that's the real focus of the game, but for those who do, it's definitely an interesting take." http://reviewoutpost.com/viewnews.goo?/news/2008-12/26-000014 Fri, 26 Dec 2008 00:00:14 MST Warhammer: Mark Of Chaos - Battle March - Worthplaying 5.8 "Not to sound like a petulant child, but Warhammer: Mark of Chaos - Battle March is underwhelming and not fun. The gameplay is inconsistent because the title is constantly fighting with itself about being an RTS or RPG. The appearance is passable, but it's a thin veneer over a game with some serious issues." http://reviewoutpost.com/viewnews.goo?/news/2008-12/19-000014 Fri, 19 Dec 2008 00:00:14 MST Left 4 Dead - Worthplaying 9.0 "All in all, Left 4 Dead is a shining example of zombies done right in a video game. It's an action-packed riot with gore galore and is four times as fun with friends. If you have even a minor passing interest in zombies, shooters or horror games in general, you shouldn't pass up the opportunity to play it." http://reviewoutpost.com/viewnews.goo?/news/2008-12/02-000014 Tue, 02 Dec 2008 00:00:14 MST Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 - Worthplaying 8.2 "As much fun as it was to fight for Tim Curry and the Motherland, RA3 has several cracks in its armored plating. For one thing, pathfinding was less than impressive, especially when I'd occasionally catch a missing unit doing the "dance" as it spun in place until I had to move it myself, along with performance issues that would mysteriously slow down the game (and even the menu) on occasion, even with the latest patch and reduced settings." http://reviewoutpost.com/viewnews.goo?/news/2008-12/01-000014 Mon, 01 Dec 2008 00:00:14 MST Far Cry 2 - Worthplaying 7.4 "It's the norm for big-budget titles to offer fewer than 10 gameplay hours, so in this area, Far Cry 2 provides excellent gameplay and replay bang for your buck. While it has several interesting features, Far Cry 2 is not going to reinvent the FPS genre, but if leaving a trail of bodies in your wake is what you're craving, look no further." Fallout 3 - Worthplaying 9.6 "The world that Bethesda has put together manages to assuage much of that worry with an engaging RPG that easily stands as a passionate demonstration of their love for the series. As Perlman says at the start, "War never changes," and with Fallout 3, the postapocalyptic spirit of the series continues to march on." http://reviewoutpost.com/viewnews.goo?/news/2008-11/10-000014 Mon, 10 Nov 2008 00:00:14 MST Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Colonization - GameZone 8.5 "Colonization won’t be every one’s cup of tea, though; all the things I love others may not. It’s definitely not as free in spirit as previous Civilization games. Despite the same goal for every game, the replay factor is high as players will have tons of choices in refining their game plan. A great game!" http://reviewoutpost.com/viewnews.goo?/news/2008-10/17-000014 Fri, 17 Oct 2008 00:00:14 MDT Brothers In Arms: Hell's Highway - GameSpot 8.5 "What is certain now is that Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway is another rousing entry in a great series. The beautiful landscapes complement the gritty combat, and thoughtful cinematic techniques breathe life into the engaging characters. Despite the somewhat spotty story and sundry oddities, Hell's Highway is a game you should consider playing twice." http://reviewoutpost.com/viewnews.goo?/news/2008-10/16-000014 Thu, 16 Oct 2008 00:00:14 MDT Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning - Jolt.co.uk 8.7 "In the end there’s no accounting for taste, but if you have any serious interest in MMORPGs, you owe it to yourself to at least try Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning." http://reviewoutpost.com/viewnews.goo?/news/2008-10/15-000014 Wed, 15 Oct 2008 00:00:14 MDT Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning - PC IGN 9.0 "The true test of an MMO is the one of time. There’s simply so much to see and do that it would take months to experience the entire game. You can explore different factions and character classes, explore different parts of the world, and play as both Order and Destruction. However, we’re definitely having a lot of fun playing the game, and there’s little doubt that Warhammer Online is off to a model and admirable start." http://reviewoutpost.com/viewnews.goo?/news/2008-10/10-000014 Fri, 10 Oct 2008 00:00:14 MDT Brothers In Arms Hell's Highway - PC IGN 7.9 "While many of the franchise's traditional gameplay elements return, such as the tactical controls of squads, so do the issues associated with those controls. While the visuals are better, it still has a number of AI issues, making a title that's good, and even better than its console brethren, but not great." http://reviewoutpost.com/viewnews.goo?/news/2008-10/08-000014 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:00:14 MDT
