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.
