a little bit funny, maybe i would even dare to call it a little bit silly....
the story mode is fine, but arena mode really makes this game shine. 7/10 would commit many acts of violence again.
technically great, but the ""story"" detracts from the game enough to be tiring to play.
it's worth a play if you don't mind that.

timeless.
the visuals, the soundtrack, even the gameplay still feels great for nearly 15 years later.
the one complaint i could give the game is the combat is weak. though, between disarming + running away, you can avoid that side of things for the most part.

stands among some of the greatest in the open world crime simulator genre. fighting and shooting both feel pretty fun, but the gameplay is primarily held back by the awkward driving.
story-wise it rivals mafia 2 for me, i'm not quite sure which of those two has the better writing.
sorta racist that everyone compares it to yakuza... this is hong kong baby!!! (infinitely doper than japan)

an absolute masterclass in video game localization.
i only wish i could understand japanese to play the game both ways, just to see the difference in the jokes and wordplay that make the english localization so great.

ENTER THE METAVERSE
a great reimagining of base TF2 without compromising what makes the game itself fun.
no stupid fucking hats, no retarded trading, just some nice straightforward fps action.

the technical problems at launch are still unforgivable, but CDPR more or less cleaned up this game to a stable level.
if you shelved the game at launch for technical reasons, it might be worth giving it a second try.
when the game works the way it's supposed to, it's a surprisingly open first person RPG with absolutely killer writing. definitely for fans of cyberpunk as a genre.

there's nothing more to say about minecraft, it is an essential video game. essential in the same way as pong, as tetris, as mario.
still peaked at b1.7.3 tho, fuck hunger !

i've put countless hours into this game on and off over the years. the peak of fast paced arcade pro wrestling nonstop action.
the season mode is a great time as well, picking a wrestler and making them into a legend.

i grew up with HCTP, so i'm going to be biased when i say this is the 2nd best wrestling game of all time.
still, this is distinctly a different era of pro wrestling and it's great to have a good game from it.

EDF is the perfect C-List game, it doesn't hide anything about itself.
you shoot bugs and robots and shit, get random upgrades, repeat. good times.

this game is the definition of "peaks and valleys"
when MGR delivers, it fucking delivers. it makes you work for it though. enjoy slogging through some of the most mediocre hack and slash gameplay to be rewarded with some of the best boss fights you'll ever play.
still one of my favorite games ever

not a perfect game by any means, but i think it's one of the more "pure" fighting game experiences out there. it was extremely fun to learn how to play fighting games through playing 3S.
