Some games grow on you the more you play them, as you get used to the little idiosyncrasies and learn to appreciate the finer points. Far Cry 2 is at the opposite end of the spectrum, a game that makes it harder and harder for you to like it by placing more and more junk between you and its best features.

Fallout 3 is a monumental, captivating, and emotionally-charged gaming experience. It seamlessly combines elements of awe, fear, and amusement, resulting in an unforgettable journey. This masterpiece stands as a testament to the medium, deserving a place in the collection of every gamer. It's a must-play that offers an exceptional adventure.

This is the worst Command & Conquer game ever made! The graphics resemble cartoons, except for the water, which is well-done. The campaign, unfortunately, feels rather uninspiring. It's disheartening to see how they've veered off from the successful formula of the Red Alert series with this release. It feels like a waste of both time and money!

Developer Treyarch did a fantastic job of not reinventing the wheel with Call of Duty World at War. Rather, they took the best elements of Modern Warfare and expanded upon them. The end product is a thrilling experience that injects some of the visceral punch back into World War II.

Gruesome, visceral, engrossing, and stunning – these are just a few words that come to mind when trying to capture the essence of Dead Space, and not a single one of them leans towards negativity. EA has surpassed all expectations on both technical and mechanical fronts, propelling Dead Space from 'a game to watch' to 'one of the finest offerings of the year, if not the generation.' Challenge yourself to remain unimpressed; we dare you.

A different, wild trip on the same island, this history showing Sergeant Psycho Sykes makes Crysis Warhead not only a technical achievement, showing the best graphics on a PC yet, but a great example of fast-paced strategic action, making it a game that, more than a spin-off, can stand by its own.

I have a deep appreciation for The Witcher 2 and The Witcher 3, which is why I decided to give the first installment a chance. Unfortunately, this particular game didn't resonate with me. The combat mechanics left much to be desired, and it failed to capture my interest. While the storytelling in this game, like in every other Witcher title, may be exceptional, other aspects of the game failed to hold my attention, leaving me somewhat disappointed.

F.E.A.R. 2 Reborn Reborn is a solid experience that offers up some genuinely fun Scary moments and the game delivers a tense final battle and a true climax that will have you pining for a sequel.

With powerful weapons at your disposal, supernatural powers with the help of The Veil, and plenty of eerie Nazi soldiers to kill, the fun never stops. Wolfenstein is an awesome blend of old-school memories and next-gen ideas assembled into a rewarding game experience you can’t afford to miss.

Bionic Commando is a bag of mixed sensations. It's a fun game with some clever moments, but it's also one with an annoying lack of liberty, a deficient AI and controls that no always respond as well as they should. If the level design did a better job of integrating exploration, platforming, and environmental puzzles, it could have overcome its deficiencies on the combat front.

Call of Juarez Bound in Blood has one of the best Western FPS games period with one of the grittiest story lines this side of a Clint Eastwood movie. With its solid graphics and audio mixed with the outstanding gameplay this is one of the best action games for the hot summer nights.

ARMA 2 doesn't seem to be a finished game. The AI is cheating, physics and controls are out of date and the game is full of annoying bugs. That the game manages to look great from time to time doesn't help much. The multitude of bugs that you will face really take you out of the fight before you've even been felled by enemy fire.

One of the best games to release this generation and is definitely the best game to drop in 2009. Outside of the lackluster stealth and disguising mechanic, the brutal combat, huge open-world, varied challenges, and utterly satisfying gameplay makes this a must-have title for any serious gamer's collection. Get ready to put your life on hold!

The most outstanding feature of this incredibly fun title is its personality. Every inch of Plants vs. Zombies is jam-packed with humor and attention to detail, and I never once stopped enjoying its clever take on the genre even after I had exhausted everything it had to offer. Do not miss this game -- titles this good don't come around often.
