First Vita game! Very good launch title for it. Unbelievable to see PS3 quality titles in your hand. Awesome game just like all the other Uncharteds, but the touch screen bits seemed a bit gimickey and tacked on. Nevertheless, a strong addition to the series. Bravo Bend Studios.

Very nice Android version. Looking forward to playing its big brother in co-op on pc.

Another awesome android game. Like the tactical shooting. Think it was using the same engine as Splinter Cell Conviction HD...

Just like the original

More classic LEGO action. Funny stuff. Although it did re-hash the original 3 films from the first game...

Also very short. And not as good as the main Time Crisis series

Good old Time Crisis action. Been a while. Haven't played one since CRT days. Brings me back. Just like old times

Very high caliber for an Android game. Captures the universe of Mass Effect very nicely. And actually enjoyable to play unlike a lot of Droid games which feel clumsy. Hope Randal tears Cerberus a new one

Crazy short. But still crazy hard. And crazy old skool SEGA

Very clearly influenced by Metroid. and G.I. Joe. Strange combination of the 2...good stuff though.

Classic Resistance action. Done in co-op this time. Same as other entries only with a few more bugs it seems. Nevertheless, good to see the Chimera getting owned some more despite Nathan Hale being dead... Wonder will there be a 4th

So very very weird... Last of the Suda51 games until Killer is Dead. Typical Suda51 weirdness through and through. Gameplay got off to a bit of a rocky start and had some very very annoying minigames, but once some of the sweeter combos were unlocked it got a lot better.

Almost identical to the first. Same city only in worse shape... Less variety too. Instead of killing a bunch of different crime bosses in varied lairs, you just activated 27 absorption units and 9 beacons in almost identical settings. Helicopter was cool though

My god...so fucking hard...was expecting a simple romp through London with a bit of red weed dodging. But ended up just dying continuously over and over and over and over again. Even Patrick Stewart's voice started to get annoying when he said the same thing for the 50th time...

The last in the Painkiller family. But it seems like they want another sequel... Quite similar to Redemption in the non stop madness and killing, but only 5 levels to half as long. Overdosed...

Sunday, 8 July 2012

Another fan-made installment. Very much back to the "purer" Painkiller experience in that it was just constant killing and no wandering around trying to find the right place. Good shit. Even if it was nothing new

Fan made game. And it shows.... Buggy as hell, levels have no structure whatsoever and spent hours searching each one for the tiny hole or passage that would lead onwards. Strange how you could make painkiller boring...

Friday, 6 July 2012

Very rough stuff. Story is getting quite interesting. Felt like most decisions had no real right or wrong answer. Just varying degrees of bad. A lot better than the first episode. Makes me more keen to play the remaining 3 now

Thursday, 5 July 2012

Quite interesting and different. Head melting puzzles too. But charming and fun and easy to recommend. There's a lot more extra stuff to it too but I didn't do it all...

Tuesday, 3 July 2012

Very soothing and nice and easy on the eyes. This was the last of thatgamecompany's games. Hope there will be more...

Another expansion on the original using the same engine with the same absurdly long loading times. But still all the same awesome non stop killing action. Lacking in the giant bosses though...
