This game was a fun change of pace from GTA. It doesn't take itself too seriously. Dialog, radio songs, business names, game mechanics all made me laugh at times. The main missions were a fun mix of mission types, character development, and over the top story telling. From prison breakout, to gang fights, to team building exercises, to rescue missions and more. There was always a tank to blow up the city with, a car to shoot from the roof from, a train to assault, a government official to hang from a magnet under a helicopter! The side missions were designed as business ventures. As you completed them you gained money to unlock more business ventures, making you feel like you were really building up an empire. These missions ranges from nuclear waste disposal truck driving, photographing hidden materials, to robbing food trucks, and getting hit by traffic to explode vehicles and ragdoll a chain of accidents for insurance fraud. Then there are the counties. Each one has threats to kill, discoveries to find, stores to shop, and side hussles(mini-missions) to complete. These where fun for awhile but became too tedious before I could complete half of the counties. These also hired-gun work on the wanted app on your in-game phone. This game has a ton of customization as well. You can customize your character, your clothes, vehicles and helicopters, your weapons strength and appearance, your headquarters and more along with mini objectives to unlock more of these or vehicle and weapon abilities. The characters are unique and funny although sometimes quite corny. This is a great game that deserves more credit!

Great remaster of Paradise. This game takes all the great modes of the old burnout games and puts it into an open world to explore. Stunt Runs were fun to string stunts together, classic races are still the highlight of the fun, marked man has you races to the end with enemy vehicles trying to take you down, and was interesting but too easy to outsmart the Ai, and Road Rage is just as good as it has always been. Taking down as many enemies as possible is satisfying and fun! Road Rules has you races against the best online time on a specific long road. It can be fun, but for the most part is forgettable. This Remaster gives you all DLC cars from the original game. Don't use these in the early game as they are over powered, but are great fun in end game!

Fun playing split screen. Working together against everything else is awesome! Building up to the best armor and the best tames, is great. Survival aspect is fun. Pooping is hilarious! Naming and breeding dinos is great! Exploring is very tough, but if your up for the challenge it fun too.
PVP however, is horrible. At least for me it was. Building up for so many hours, only to have some bigger group come and ruin it all is not a good time. When the largest group forces everyone else to follow their demands is also not an enjoyable experience. Stick to PVE instead!

Fun spin on COD formula. Jetpacks in multiplayer and Nazi Zombies adds some needed variation. The campaign has very good graphics for 2014 and a good story. The DLC Nazi Zombie maps were much better than the release map. Although the contaminated rooms mechanic was too much chaos for my liking. Multiplayer was polished and fun. This is the first and last game I bought the Gold Edition for ($120). It did add a lot of new content that was well made, but it's not worth doubling the price tag. I did enjoy the Zombie maps for a long time with my wife though.

My favorite game of all time. The art style is beautiful, the gameplay is captivating, the music is amazing! The sense of discovery in this game changed what I look for in video games. Every rock, every hill, every area brings new challenges. The korak seeds keep you always searching for puzzles. The combat variation and breaking weapon system keeps you always seeking to improve. (Here's looking at you lionals.) The difference in the areas creates unique experiences everywhere you go. From deserts dressed as a lady, to the forest flying in the sky, to the volcano trying not to burn, to the tundra trying not to freeze. The lightning strikes have you rushing to drop all your metal gear and run! The gathering will have you attempting to become a master chef. The ninjas will have you guessing who is real and who is an enemy! Hoarses are beautiful and fun! The shrines will challenge you with puzzles or combat or both! They will make you use all of the awesome abilities you get throughout the game. The towns feel loved in and the people and conversations you have are charming. From a task to gather chickens to a duo telling you about a treasure nearby to an arrow to gather near a tough lional forcing you to sneak. The traveling merchant it quirky, the scientist is crazy, the old woman is wise, and so many more interactions! The fairies, the labyrinths, the ancient ruins, the enemy variations. This game is fun for every second and will keep you surprised until the credits roll!

My first RPG. This introduced me to my favorite genre of video games. The story is one of the best I have ever played. The dragonborn shouts are unique and add so much to this experience. The skill tree make the game different every time! The skill based leveling adds specialization. The amazing armor and weapon variants you can find and forge are so beautiful! Enchantments and enchanting are both surprising and interesting. Potions can make you deadly or invincible of you know the recipe and can forage the ingredients. The inventory management is even fun! The characters bring the world alive! The shops are filled with people who shop or own the shop who open their stores at their own hours. Owning houses let's you become a part of that town. You can take a partner and adopt kids or even build a house if you have the DLC. The dragon quest line is so full of fantasy goodness. The civil war story is full of military and history fun. Watch out not to become a vampire or warewolf, and don't mess with the giants unless you would like a beautiful arial view of Skyrim. The many races and types in the games build an amazing world. The magic system brings out your imagination in a fantastic fantasy world. Collect dragon bones and forge dragon armor if you become the best forger. Or you could become the best lockpick or sneak or you could become the best axe weilder or the best at speachcraft and get the best prices or intimidate your foes or entice your lovers. There is so much to this beautiful game and it's many cities and dungeons that I can't mention it all! Amazing experience every playthrough!
