Review
Pros 1. Good music collection, lot of songs were
in GTA 3 too. Reminds me of good old days! 2. You can fast travel, though option is
well hidden. You need to buy planeboat. 3. The few missions that game has are fun
and worth the trouble you usually go
through. 4. Simple and entertaining gameplay.
Cons 1. Very few missions in the game and to
increase the length of the game you chase
the unimaginable reputation(xp)
requirements. You also need to purchase
shops to overtake city. All of this require
amount of money which you earn only in side
missions. Problem is there is only one type
of mission which can bring you anywhere near
to your total money requirement. So you end
up doing same mission over and over again. 2. Quite a long learning curve - Every time
you end up with a complicated situation in
the game, the reason comes out to that you
were not able to fully understand some
aspect of the game. There is a lot to learn
to do things right way and it takes time. 3. Game map is basically a one big circuit
with few roads built around it. 4. Gameplay wise there is hardly anything
fair going on in the game. 5. Graphics are pretty outdated, even for
2006 standards. 6. Broken controller support, not all
actions are assigned. This half support will
keep you away from using any 3rd party app
too.

Review
Pros 1. Even 7 years after game's release, Prey
offers something you won't find elsewhere. A
mix of a shooter and puzzle and very light
horror elements. Your(protagonist's) soul
can leave the body anytime at your will and
get past barriers, thus creating some
interesting puzzle gameplay. 2. Focus is fun - In Prey you never die,
whenever you run out of health you are taken
to other world where you get the chance to
increase health. So even though challenge is
missing it's still amazing experience. 3. Classic shooter, you can carry every gun
you are able to lay your hands on, health
doesn't recharge, ammo is plenty though. 4. Several types of portals, no you don't
create them but sometimes you have to find
them. I guess Valve got their motivation
from Prey.
Cons 1. Storyline just enough to keep game going.

Review
Pros 1. Not only game is lengthy to beat but
every playthrough can be a totally different
experience. With side quests it can take
50-100 hrs to beat. 2. Played 7 years after it's release,
Oblivion is still an amazing experience. 3. The skill upgrade is really good, it
totally depends on how much you do
something. More you perform certain activity
the better you become in it.
Cons 1. Main storyline is uninteresting and
short. 2. No zoom out option in map. 3. Some characterS appear in multiple
quests. These quests progress in the way
they are scripted. So say you do a favour to
someone in a quest, later on in a new quest
same character may even refuse to talk to
you. It feels quite absurd, at least
dialogue options should change.
