Love the story, but damn the ending sucked; far too abrupt with hardly any resolution (although I do like Joe’s ambiguous fate; I just wish it was made more clear that Vito is now stuck in a life he probably doesn’t want anymore).
The gameplay was about as enjoyable same as the first game (the remake), although gunplay was very repetitive after awhile.
The attention to detail in open world design was stunning and it was a joy to drive around and listen to all the classic hits.
Overall a fun if somewhat dated experience with a great story for the most part and a lot of passion for period authenticity.

One of the worst games I’ve ever played as it actually gave me a headache with how unpolished and broken looking it was. Interesting ideas in route planning, but in practice, it doesn’t have much depth as resource management is not really that important here and the levels and environments are so bland it doesn’t even make the game fun to travel through. Awful performance with ugly and stuttering graphics / character animations + environments so lifeless and barren that the game honestly looks unfinished. Poor level design leads to a lack of direction and motivation. Obviously no thought or effort was put into this game and is shows (you can still see a mouse cursor that the devs forgot to delete on the screen when The Walking Dead tv intro plays at the start of the game like they were screen recording a window😂)
The actual worst sonic game. Where as Sonic 06 had potential and legitimately fantastic aspects (that soundtrack is chef’s kiss) this game has nothing. Bland environments, awful pacing and acting, dogshit story and boring gameplay. Overall when it’s not glitching out to hell and back it’s just a dull experience (One of the worst things a game can be).
2022
Excited for the sequel assuming they don’t completely change the formula again because this is a really solid foundation that feels fresh if a little bare bones at times. Super fun to run around and the music is really nice. Glad to have a story where the characters take the events seriously without joking every 5 seconds. The story itself is ok, but the final act is clearly unfinished and rushed has probably one of the worst final bosses in the whole series which really undermines the ending a bit. Excited for the content updates (SEGA needs to give these devs the time and resources to release a game in a fully finished state).
Not as good as the first game by a mile (and a lot glitchier too), but the voice acting is still enjoyable and there are some fun levels. Play the pre-9/11 version if you can it just feels more compelling in the final stages.
2020
Dropped this pretty quickly; cool ideas in building the resistance, but the story didn’t give me any incentives to continue personally and the mechanics weren’t too interesting from what I played. I guess I’m just tired of this franchise not taking itself seriously anymore; it has become too gimmicky.
My first Souls-like game. Really enjoyed the story and character interactions and the gameplay was slower paced and challenging; I played on the second highest difficulty, but I had to turn it down to normal during the arena fight; I could not for the life of me dodge any attacks cause the enemies were too aggressive.
Platinumd the PS3 version but then plat’d the anniversary version on PS4
This is a wonderful point and click adventure game that has a lot of respect for the BTTF license as the writer of the films, Bob Gale, had input on the story and most of the actors from the films reprise their roles! Michael J Fox is included as well tho not as Marty, but the VA for him does an impeccable impression that never once took me out of the experience. Puzzles are simple, but fun and fit the time periods they take place in. The story is faithful to the original spirit of the films, although the very ending of the game kinda muddled the whole thing and comes off as weird retread/parody of the first movie that doesn’t really land. The first episode has a very slow start that makes it tough to replay at times and there are some weird visual/audio glitches (as most TellTale games do). Overall tho if you’re a fan on the movies you should definitely play this as it’s practically Part IV (and the creators themselves agree)!
Play the 30th Anniversary rerelease; it’s the best way to play the game as the frame rate is smoother and Tom Wilson reprises his role as Biff from the films!

The greatest music game of all time for its presentation and authenticity of the Beatles’ career. Every. Song. Slaps. Short setlist compared to other rock band /
Music games, but Single-handedly got me seriously interested in music history and rock music in general. One for the ages.
(Also check out modding scene on 360 as almost every single Beatles’ song ever is featured in addition to many songs being multi-tracked with custom animations and dreamscapes for each individual song).

A superior game to the original mechanically, but the story is laughable (although the character interactions make it consistently enjoyable). The hacking mechanics have been streamlined control wise, but expanded upon in utility leading to many creative mission solutions! San Francisco is beautiful and the level of customization here is great! just like the original, the licensed soundtrack still SLAPS!
1998
Master Collection is eh, but replaying this game reminded me why this is the greatest series in all of gaming. Never before in gaming had the gameplay and story been intertwined in such an engaging way. Controls are dated, but easy to adjust to and the music, presentation, and voice acting is so far ahead of its time in terms of quality it’s insane! Play on the Easy or Normal difficultly for your first play-through as Hard / Extreme mode can be really cheap given the aged design, but the experience of playing this game is so worth it.
Platinumd the game and have updated my thoughts. Very fun and violent as a Wolverine game should be, but the game is VERY repetitive and the reuse of environments gets old very quickly. The gameplay itself is fast and fluid if a little simple, but if you’re a fan of the character you’ll love this game (and the alternate costumes are incredible)!
One of the worst games ever simply because it took what is widely considered to be a masterpiece landmark in gaming and turned it into unplayable dogshit. The beautiful melodies & gorgeous sprites are bit-crunched (BUTCHERED) to hell and back to the point where this seems like a fan made paradoy, but no this is an officially licesned released. Physics are fucked and not at all accurate to the Genesis/MegaDrive original and slow down is as unpleasant as it is infuriating.
Absolutely ZERO excuse for this game to run worse on GBA than it did on a console 3 times less powerful.
The 15th anniversary of Sonic is one to be forgotten.

2006
One of the most broken games of all time. Completely and utterly unfinished, however the scope of the world and the level design is superb and the soundtrack is no lie one of the greatest ever composed for a video game. Sad at the time, but P-06 is shaping up to be one of the greatest remakes of all time and has so far fixed many of the issues found in this original release.
2014
A fun game that had so much more potential untapped. The story for the most part was grounded and very engaging although it was a little bland at points. I loved the Chicago open world, but some of the tasks got very repetitive towards the end of the game. Graphically very good, but it's clear that a lot was cut /altered after the E3 presentation which many people have pointed out before hand. There were some great characters that kept me invested until the end of the story even when the gameplay became repetitive. The licensed soundtrack was STELLAR!
