If you play Max Payne with any kind of sincere effort to be serious about what's going on, you're not doing it right. I think Max Payne 3 can't hold a candle to Max Payne 2 because of how they play. Max Payne 3 tries to be sarcastic, serious and dark. Max Payne 2 is dark, but 100% sarcastic and utilizes just the right tropes to make everything funny. It's like May Payne 3 got diluted too much, like when you put too much milk in your coffee.

As far as the gameplay is concerned, Max Payne always seemed to be a frustrating game; there's equal potential that you'll snap your controller in half or feel like a champ afterwards.

Just finished the mass effect series

Will give the first a 9

and the second and third an 8.

Really enjoyed the side stories the game had to offer.

Skyrim-Base game 9.5/10 i seriously love this game even though it came out a while ago

Skyrim- Dawnguard Expansion 7.5/10 Cool expansion with a cool story and cool new weapons, i wish it were longer

Skyrim-Hearthfire Build houses wooo... 6/10 lots of options for houses, but boring

Skyrim- Dragonborn 9/10 Great expansion, cool new weapons and armor and gameplay attributes, good story and lots of side missions and locations.

 

Borderlands 2 9/10 Great game, a few bugs but other than that its awesome.

 

Halo 4 8/10 Great fps, definitely better than reach was, really pushing the xbox with its graphics (time for the new systems or pc) 

I may sound like a noob, but..

Do you start from level 1 when you play a DLC?

You continue from your current level in skyrim as well as borderlands (im max level in both, all skills 100 in skyrim)

I rented it and did that and then rented it a second time for a better ending.

 

I just bought it for $25 on Black Friday but now i'm playing Dark Souls instead.

Well i re-started playing on Hard level. Getting all the game items makes things more challenging.  

Journey gets a 10/10 from me.

Has anyone already played Dead Space 3? After seeing the review, I am considering not buying it since the game is not as scary and surprising as the installments before.... Although it received a good score, I still have my doubts.

Did you play the demo?

I'm one who believes Dead Space died after the first game.

Guh, Fire Emblem Awakening is harder than I thought. I can't use the typical tactics I used in Fire Emblem [7] and Fire Emblem Sacred Stones. Pairing-up and local character supports all add a new strategy element to the game, which is awesome.

Nope, I don't go into demoes and stuff..

Well Dead Space 2 for me is still entertaining and full of suspense at the same time meanwhile the way I see it Dead Space 3 is more to the action side that I found too common in modern games.

I thought the same with Dead Space 2. They tried way to hard on all this cinematic scenes, and I'd just sit there and yawn. Unimpressive EA... Visceral.

Dead Space 2 had a lot of great control and interface improvements from the first game, but other than that. Still fun though. 3, simply doesn't look fun.

Haha, the cinematic scenes are also a low point for me in Dead Space 2.

Might just try the demo then in the end and if there is something I can relate with in the game then I might buy it.

I got Binary Domain for cheap and Im surprised how good it was.

Good gameplay with nice variety, good enemy IA, awesome bosses and a good story (for a Third person shooter game) with a likable cast. As a single player game, I found it way better than Gears of Wars campaigns and such (weird how IMO the best TPS are japan made, mainly this one and Vanquish).

Fallout 2 9/10- I just got this crazy urge to replay fallout...ALL OF THEM. Fallout 2 is one of the best top down RPG's IMO. It's really challenging but not like the first one where its just impossible. I love how much there is to do in the game as well.
