Review
Red Faction: Armageddon is really
enjoyable game. With futuristic tools at
your disposal, it is your enemy who should
fear you and not you. Game has highly
modifiable surroundings such that you can
destroy anything & also you can create
anything !! Apart from regular on foot
action, you also get lot of vehicles with
which you are almost invincible. There are
so many different types of weapons that you
will most probably miss many of them
even though game has quite a good length on
it.

Review
With 273 races in total, Dirt 3 is no
doubt a massive game. With Gymkhana events Dirt 3
adds more then just racing, all the donuts, smashing
and 360 spinning is a real fun. Drift is usually
irritating & difficult in most of the racing games,
unlike them Dirt 3 provides a really exciting
experience of drift events. Apart from all the fun
the game is also a good test for your skills, Dirt 3
is more about Time trials rather then racing, which
are always challenging.

Review
The uniqueness is the key feature of the LA Noire.
It provides an experience that no other game can in
equal respects. Solving the cases is not boring as
it may sound, apart from that game also got a good
storyline which keeps you going through the game.
The first release of the game has around 20 cases
which could have been easily affected with
repetition but no there are levels, which changes
the type of cases & thus no repetition. A sequel
can't be expected due to the closure of Team Bondi
but I hope similar projects will be undertaken in
future. LA Noire is a gift for gaming.

Review
+ Controller Support - Unlike previous game,
Witcher 2 fully supports controllers.
+ Graphics are handled very nicely
especially the plantation. Game is thus also
very demanding as compared to other games
from same timeline.
- Combat - The combat system got completely
changed but they managed to come up with
something a lot more awful.
X Light Attack
Y Strong Attack
B Magic
A Dodge (Not automatic, you have to give
direction)
Seems easy enough but it isn't. There are no
alert icons that tell you when to dodge you
have to see that yourself. Since you are
usually surrounded by several enemies it
comes to pressing X or Y once then dodging
several dozen times. The combat system from
the first game feels ten times better now.
- Slow health regeneration - Health like
first game regenerates very slow, this means
lot of waiting. Plus you can't drink potions
within a fight anymore, so you are
completely dependant on rolling around like
a goof for several minutes while health goes
back to full.
- Long Learning Curve - We look at games for
entertainment and fun. We don't want to
grind our brains with it, we already have
schools/office for that.
- Witcher 1 Save - Even though you can
import save from first game it's hardly of
any use. My decisions in the first game were
ignored.
- Storyline - Witcher 2 tries to go for big
moments rather than present something
meaningful. Plus there are too many
characters in The Witcher 2.

Review
I love racing games but this game has some
serious problems. Graphics are outdated & suggest
that game was developed somewhere around 2005 but
they forgot to release it for 6 years. Gameplay is
repetive though free roam mode is fun. There are
usually lots of distances to be covered which you
can do behind your fav. wheels in a cockpit view.
Another good thing is that like most of the racing
games TDU2 is lengthy but still it is hard to find
an excuse to play this game unless you have nothing
else to do.
