IGI 2: Covert Strike

Such is the case with IGI 2: Covert Strike, a stealth-oriented FPS published by Codemasters for the PC and arguably one of the least intelligent stealth-oriented games available. This sequel follows its predecessor's lead in more ways than one, the most offensive of which is the moronic AI. It's so bad it's almost open-ended; you can exploit the enemy AI in so many different ways that there are always new ways to beat a level. Unfortunately, none of them are convincing or realistic enough to be engaging. However, figuring out ways to manipulate IGI 2 is mildly entertaining, if only because it makes you feel clever

Half-Life 2

Half-Life 2 delivers excellent gameplay, a compelling storyline, and some of the most beautiful graphics ever seen on the PC. It's an incredible game that no first-person shooter fan should miss. But while it represents the best that PC gaming has to offer, it also represents the worst, reminding many gamers why the console systems have become the gaming medium of choice. Half-Life 2 is a game you love to hate, or hate to love, and just may spark the worst geek fights since the premiere of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Kirk would kick Picard's ass, by the way

Fallout 3

But you? You're just lucky. Lucky you're still alive. Lucky you can read. Lucky this book hasn't been turned into a carcass of mold like all the other books in this godforsaken hellhole. Lucky I have spare time. Lucky Moira made it worth my while to write this damn introduction for a survival guide. And especially lucky you haven't stepped into Megaton long enough to become Moira's little guinea pig. (And she’s lucky for not editing this out.)

Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction

Lord of Destruction is based on the game expansion theory which states that in expanding a game, you don't just add more to it, but you enrich what existed before. While there is a new act added to Diablo 2, of greater importance are the two new character classes and host of additions and improvements to the existing game.

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 is not one of those cases. Yes, friends, it’s pretty good, and the gents at EA Los Angeles have done a mighty fine job. But let me get one key point out of the way early: Red Alert 3 is not a strong evolution of the series. It is, in fact, so similar to Red Alert 2 that I found myself stuck in memory lane far more often than I think the developers wanted me to be.

Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath

Kane's Wrath is the newest addition to the old Command and Conquer series, built on top of the somewhat disappointing C&C3: Tiberium Wars. Unlike just about every other expansion in C&C history, this one focuses exclusively on one side – the Brotherhood of Nod. If you are a rabid fan of Kane, then you are the target audience of this expansion. If you aren't, well, then be prepared for a conspicuous absence of just about any other personality. Kane, Kane, more Kane... oh, and some blonde chick too.

Call of Duty: United Offensive

You again play the part of three different soldiers in the British, Russian and U. S. militaries. Famous battles include the U.S. Battles of the Bulge, the invasion of Sicily from the British point of view and the lesser known Russian Battle of Kursk. While defection stays the same, the scenery and rules of engagement have changed, giving the campaigns their own feel and level of excitement

Drakensang: The Dark Eye

For those of you unfamiliar with Drakensang, it’s based upon a tabletop RPG popular in Germany and eastern Europe that has some aspects very reminiscent of both White Wolf’s systems and 1st Edition D&D. It’s very, well, old-school, and coincidentally has plenty of layers to it. As with every highly complex RPG system, there are exploits galore if you’re paying close attention, but there are also tons of potential inventive solutions to problems, and lots of ways to sidestep issues.

Resident Evil 5

By any reckoning, the folks in S.T.A.R.S. and the B.S.A.A. (and/or whatever other short-lived, alphabet-soup agencies they've collectively bounced between in previous, doubtless-undocumented years) have been doing a pretty unspectacular job of reigning in the whole zombie/bioterrorism thing. However heroic their Good Fight, they've generally cocked it up, and cocked it up badly (that smoking crater at Raccoon City is starting to look pretty good these days), at least compared to the spillover of zombie-intensive pharmacological shenanigans to an unsuspecting Africa, as presented in Resident Evil 5.

Lord of the Rings: Conquest

I'm sure we all know the story by now, so I think it's safe to skim through the plot: A hairy midget finds a ring, hairy midget gives ring to hairy midget nephew, ring turns out to be evil, hairy midget nephew goes on epic quest to destroy evil ring with a dwarf, elf, ranger, and a couple other hairy midgets. Most of the levels in story mode are based off the various territories explored throughout the film adaptation. What's nice about this game is that there is also another story that might as well have been torn from the pages of a Marvel “What if?” comic, in which Sauron retrieves the ring and goes on a killing fest throughout Middle Earth. It's a great alternate to the happy ending and makes for a great excuse to maul some hobbits

F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin

FEAR 2 (or Eff-Eee-Aye-Are 2): Project Origin starts about 20 minutes before the end of the first game, so if you didn’t play the first FEAR, or any of its subsequent expansions, you won’t have a clue as to what’s going on, so here’s the short version: Armacham is an evil corporation (or maybe it isn’t) that’s trying to make super-telepath soldiers (or maybe they’re not), and you are sent in to fix things (or maybe you were sent in to trigger the end of days). The story’s not great in the first game, and FEAR 2 is more of the same, only this time you’re dropped into the thick of it from the word "go".

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II

To start with, DoW2 is beautiful. Fantastic texture art, excellent animations, and some nice visual effects make for a very pretty game… that is, if slaughtering hundreds of orks (take notice lawyers, not with a 'c'), bugs, and space-elves is pretty. (I certainly think it is.) Nothing really looks bad. The worst complaint is that the visuals has a relative lack of variety – you’ll be seeing the same effects and areas over and over, so a lot of assets become rote after a while.To start with, DoW2 is beautiful.
