Introduction:Game of the Year, Game of the Year; I kept hearing this title bestowed upon this game. I however had never played this supposedly superior gaming selection. When the game showed up on Steam, and was on sale for $2.50, I told myself. “Even if it fails at being great, it should be $2.50 good.” With that I bought it. To say I irked out $2.50 out of a game I spent over 12 hours completing is a little bit of an understatement. I beat it on either normal or hard.

Let's warm up the party by traveling back to golden age of gaming circa 1995/1998 when I played the Sim City 2000 and the Urban Renewal expansion. Besides being one of my first simulation games, it had a rocking introduction song which I would describe as a modern-retro jazzy hit. If you have ever played the game, you should be aware the Mac version had much better sound than the PC version as was true of most games at the time. The Mac synthesizer is used to create the upbeat intro song. Read on for more music version:

I had already written a written a review for the remade Butcher Bay campaign for Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Athena, but now, having played through the Dark Athena Campaign, I can finally complete my review of the full box offering. This review will focus on the single player campaign of Dark Athena. If you are interested in my other review, I suggest checking out my Riddick Butcher Bay Campaign review. Most of the mechanics from that review stay true to this one, IE weapon selection wheel, and fast loading times.

The teaser website Spartans Stand Tall has finally revealed the new God of War game. In a similar fashion to God of War 2 where they had a teaser website for the PSP God of War, it has happened again. Since God of War 3 is still new, I will avoid to avoid these spoilers as I discuss the new game (set before the events in God of War 3).

I came across this game when I saw it in a video highlighting a 48 hour game creation competition. This game came in first in the competition and I was interested to know what made it so good. The video did not yield any answers on its own and so I decided to play the game myself and figure it out.

I purchased this game from the Direct2Drive store for $7.50. I had heard average reviews from other sources and so did not immediately pioneer myself a copy. Seeing as I would have likely had to pay more than $7.50 if the games were bundled, about $30 at the time of this writing, I decided to splurge and see how the game was first-hand. I have completed all the new mini-campaigns on expert, and played the new gametypes in multiplayer.

After playing Team Fortress 2 for a while, I've accumulated a lot of death cam pictures. Just by pressing F5, you save a piece of history of your spectacular defeat. Since I play the game on many different computers, I am missing some of my earlier screenshots. These screenshots are native 1440 x 900 but I believe the game reduces the quality when taken. Let's start off with some Heavy freeze death cam shots since he is very photogenic:

Everyone has hopefully played Crysis on PC or at the very least seen the original trailers to know that the game is a beast. As my friend recently said, "Will Crysis 2 run Crysis??" The technology behind the graphical, physics and other game engines are awesome. What happens when we push the limits of the physics engine by using the power of modern machines. Continue on and see how well Crysis can display thousands of objects and effects:
