One of the best games of the year

Dead Space was a very surprising game for me. After all of the cool marketing for the game, I expected it to be a huge disappointment. I couldn't have been more wrong.

This game is truly frightening. I didn't think video games could put you on the edge of your seat and make you jump out of it, until Dead Space came along. I recommend playing this game with no lights on in the room. The audio is creepy, the visuals are dark and it will make you jump atleast a few times, I promise you that.

The story is amazing. Trying to find out what went wrong on the space station and how these horrible creatures have been created, gives you one fantastic and addicting game.

One of the best adventures in games this year.

Wish it was better

I enjoyed this game solely because of the story. I am a huge history fan so playing a game that offered such an alternate history was truly engaging. The though of the Nazis attacking America was too crazy and fun to pass up playing despite the games obvious faults. Who doesn't enjoy killing Nazis??

Despite an innovative story, Turning Point: Fall of Liberty doesn't offer much else. The graphics are passable, mediocre at best. The controls and AI are maddening and will make you want to throw your controller against the wall at least a few times per level.

Truthfully, the only thing going for Fall of Liberty is the story. Unless you are a fan of history and can put up with terrible controls, this game won't be for you.

It should've been better.

Best value of any game

Simply put, you can't find a better value in all of gaming. For the amount of games you get, your money is more than well spent.

I bought this solely for Portal. It is extremely fun and addicting and worth the price alone. Half-Life 2 and its episodes are great games and also worth it. Don't let the graphics fool you. Though its an old game, Half Life 2 is one of the most innovative, influential and original games ever made.

Best gaming experience of my life

I have never been so completely involved in a game in my life. This game literally took over my life from the time I started it until the time I finally figured out what the hell was going on.

From the opening video, I knew this game was special. The concept of an underwater city in the 50's combined with modern- sci-fi involving plasmids that give you powers is one of the most unique stories ever told. This is a game that's story takes many twists and turns, keeps you guessing and ultimately has a great payoff as the final act comes to an end.

I do not feel like the plot of this game needs to be reviewed. I went into this game knowing nothing about the plot except what I have already said and it made it that much more special. I will say, I have never played a game that has this deep of a storyline and keeps you engaged the entire time you are playing (while still allowing you to roam around and experience this beautiful underwater city at your own discretion).

Obviously, the best aspect of this game is the story. However, the graphics and audio are just as brilliant. The design of Rapture (the name of the underwater city) is vivid and beautiful. The 1950's era music and dialogue helps to completely envelope you in this world. As beautiful as the city can look, it is also dark, mysterious and, at times, down-right frightening.

The pace of the game is also extraordinary. There is a lot of story and characters that will be thrown at you, but it is never too much to follow. At times, you will be engaged in tough boss battles, while at others you can roam around and see every square inch of Rapture. However, from the time you start you will not be able to stop thinking about this game and finding out the truth behind the mysterious Rapture.

I could not recommend this game more. It is absolutely the best game I have ever played. It even has replay value as I have bumped the difficulty and still gone through the entire game without getting bored (it is also possible to get 3 different endings).

Play this game. You won't be disappointed.

Far and away the best NBA title ever

NBA 2k9 is the game that NBA fans have always dreamed of. It is ultra-realistic in every phase of the game. Game play, graphics, audio, AI, you name it, it feels real. I've never played a game before and had people come into the room and say "I didn't know there was a game tonight", until I played NBA 2k9.

It has everything you could expect/want from a sports franchise. Picking it up and playing one game with a group of a friends is just as much fun as starting your own franchise (aka The association) and running every facet of your favorite team. It's impossible to not have fun with NBA 2k9.

Fitting for a Boston fan like me, that a game this good has World Champion Kevin Garnett on the cover. Champion player for a champion game.
