I'd say that Gears of War 3 picks up the best from Gears 1 and 2. In comparison to the previous title in the series I'd say that the previous was smoother. Gears 3 didn't feel it had the same smooth transitions between acts and levels as in Gears 2. To better explain why I consider Gears of War 2 a bit better in some aspects I'd begin by saying that in Gears 2 they made the experience smoother. The transitions...")

From all the segments, the one near the end when you have to defend the doors of the laboratory was the highest ranked one for me. I think that the developers were tired after making Halo CE, 2, 3 and ODST. According to their contract, one more Halo game was required and for the last one they pushed in directions that they didn't in the previous games. I loved the soundtrack...")

Legendary and the only game that I played in the legendary difficulty. For me Halo is Microsoft's version of Star Wars. It combines great characters, actors, setting, soundtrack and gameplay. The design of the Ark is beautiful and much more enticing the Death Star that is just a sphere. The gameplay clearly evolved from Halo 2. The pink needles gun can no longer be dual wielded. It was overpowered to do that in Halo 2. New...")

It's very disappointing. No armor or shield. The health items are so small that it's hard to spot them. They tried to make a more story driven game, with a much slower pace. I appreciated the soothing jazz / blues music that plays in the city and the atmosphere of mystery. Somehow it reminds me of some tune from Parasite Eve, some flashback scene from FFVII and some anime. The story takes place in the mid...")

For starters, an all new cast of younger characters. I didn't like the jokes, the dialogues, the plot, the progression. The soundtrack lost the grandiosity of the previous games. They captured the essence of Gears of War and tried to bring in the new. New characters, new dynamics, new enemies, new locations. It has better graphics to take advantage of the better hardware, but why drop the desaturated aspect of it? M...")

It's almost the same game. Even the villain has the same face. Both games are so similar that it's almost as if the same developers made them. Rage 2 feels very different from the first Rage and after playing Red Faction Guerrilha I understood why. The last mission of both games is pretty much the same, except that Red Faction Guerrilha doesn't have giant mutants. Also, no super powers in Red Faction Guerrilha. comp...")

Play Prince of Persia. It's one of the most successful transitions from 2D to 3D of all time. The mechanic to reverse time is one of the most fun mechanics ever created. The level design is excellent. They did all that to run on the PS2 with 32MB of RAM. My computer has one thousand times more RAM than a PS2. To explain why I didn't give a higher score. It's because this game was too hard and the camera added to...")

I read the title and thought it was an official expansion to Max Payne 2. One of the developers was one of the designers in Max Payne 2. I had high expectations which were all severely frustrated. Awful level design and combat design. The scale of the environment is all wrong, including stretched textures. The story is about Mona being hired to assassin one character.

It's much better and more fluid this time around. The game is also much larger and longer. The length of this game is precisely why I dislike it a bit. On one hand they pushed the limits of the PS2's hardware. One the other hand they made this game quite exhausting. Better HUD, more powers, more combat tricks.

I gave it 10 but there are different opinions and I am, myself, unsure about a 10. If you want to learn game design and puzzle design, do play Portal and listen to all the developer commentary. It's a big lesson. Compared to Limbo I felt more challenged by Limbo than by Portal. Even though Portal is 3D, Limbo had harder to solve puzzles. The voice acting of Glados is just fantastic.

Really. It borrows all the complexity of PoE. Gems, sockets, affixes, amulets, skill tree. They created an ARPG in first person with excessive complexity. In Shadow Warrior 3 they changed it back to simplify the game. The interface in Shadow Warrior was crude, as if they were emulating brush strokes. It had its charm. In SW2 they adopted a cleaner interface. In many ways it's better. T...")

The excessive complexity of the second was ill received and they decided to abandon it. The game is short and they opted for a pure linear game. No secondary routes or hub city. It's back to the classic linear sequence of levels of old games. People compare it to doom eternal because every encounter is some arena style combat. In any game I'm not a fan of tying the level up and skill points to "kill 50 with he...")

I really wanted about 50% more to better understand the events of it. The campaign felt rushed with many abrupt changes from one location to another. The environment art is the best part of it.

It's a design course on making puzzles. The character does not have facial expressions, but the two bright eyes and the animation make it one of the most charming characters ever made.

In some ways I've found it worse than the first Sigil. The levels are more confusing. In about half of them I became lost looking for the exit. This is something that didn't happen in Sigil. I also found the soundtrack of Sigil better. The level design in Sigil creates the illusion of walking on an upper floor quite well. Sigil II was made without the restrictions imposed by the old engine, now taking advantage of source ports. Howe...")

Borderlands offers more fun than Red Faction Guerrilha and the only exception may be the destruction physics of the latter. In some aspects I'd say that Borderlands is better than Rage 2. The plot isn't detailed and intricate as in Bioshock, but we are talking about a game that does not focus on a complex world to begin with. Speaking of Biosho...")

In the DLC is almost an MMORPG with quests that you have to kill 100, 200 enemies to complete. Luckly enough you don't have to do quests one by one, they can be concurrently completed as you play the main quest. The biggest grip that I had with this DLC is how you are forced to travel long distances on foot. It's exhausting. According to a recorded gameplay I played it wrong. I didn't focus on how much damage you can do if you pay attention to...")

They did this awesome game targeting the PS2 and Xbox's hardware. 32MB of RAM. The current gen consoles have 16GB, 500x more RAM. The physics and animations are so natural and this is way before PhysX. This game made me feel inside a Mission Impossible / 007 movie. Choose between stealth and action on the fly.

Excellent environment art. Excellent level design. It's better than the older Wolfenstein from Activision because even though they added supernatural powers they didn't explore them much. I think that they relied too much on gunfire and didn't explore cinematics, war machines or other things that Killzone 2 did for instance. I miss the...")

This game reminds me of Castle of Illusion, the original one. The physics made me remind of Angry Birds due to concept of knocking down things. It's a hard game and I died a lot, thanks to the physics. I think they made the physics a bit too realistic, making it hard to play. I think they overdid the light with excessive bloom and too many colors. From a pure artistic perspective the game looks beautiful, but from a gamepla...")

The enemies using a flare to search in the dark was a really nice addition. Now shooting at lights isn't always going to guarantee that enemies won't see you in the dark. The addition of a noise meter was also welcomed. It adds to realism. The knife for close encounters was also extremely positive.

Maybe Splinter Cell Chaos Theory was even slower, but then we have a different game type. I'm not a fan of minimalist design where there are no health bars, no ammo counters, almost no HUD at all.

Quality over quantity. There are few monsters, but their placement is much more meaningful than in the original doom.

In the original doom it was much easier to let the monsters fight each other, not so much in Sigil. There are much fewer medkits, armor, potions and ammo. Thi...")

Many players give it an 8 or 9 calling this fun, genius and the reviews praise this game most of the time. I gave it a low score because I used this game as an example of bad level design and game design in my site.
