Completely falls apart once the gimmickey Mr. X disappears from the scene.

There is genuine wonder in seeing polygons grow before your eyes until you just get tired of it and fall through the sky.

Not even fun on a pizza night. What the hell is this ?

Holds up surprisingly well on most levels.

Wanting to live, inside a walking simulator.

Impressions on my retina.

This is as expressive as I can get about Battlefield 3.

Benjamin's Flight feels completely lifeless.

If insights on the nature of relations and life are so easily reached, are they really worth that much in the first place ?

Sam Lake's stories work best when they earnestly embrace the genre they try to mimic ; and as such, this first version of Max Payne happens to be the most enjoyable. The level-design supports the goofs allowed by his bullet-time and the narrative tightens around him without choking his humour.

An unironic dive into Noir York.

A falsework more than a game. If only Vlambeer had more imagination.

Probably the best ghost story in videogames.

I prefer Fallout 3's radical humanism but it's impossible to deny New Vegas its charms.
