Guild Wars 2 and The Secret World are both great starter MMOs -- Guild Wars 2 because it pushes players into helping each other and The Secret World because it is smaller and more manageable than a...

Mars: War logs?! How did it ship with that name!??!?!?...

Max Payne 3 is a fantastic shooter. The story is goddamn awful. But the gameplay is sublime. Well worth $10 IMO.

Finished the story mission of The Secret World today. Awesome game, but I don't have the fortitude for MMO "endgame" grind, though I'll definitely dip back in for the odd dungeon and new mission. Not...

I agree, Hunted was better than I expected. It's not, uh, a particularly good game, but not many games do the fantasy action thing. And War in the North is putrid, unfortunately.

Precursors patch:...

Finished BioShock Infinite 1999 mode, also the third time I've finished the game.

Holy crap it's good.

Guess I'll return to The Secret World... also there's a new 1.7 patch for Percursors I...

A headshot is always a one shot kill in Max Payne 3, on all difficulties, unless the enemy is wearing a helmet, then it's two shots.

Mp3 is a game all about clicking on as many heads as you can...

Love Dead Space 3. What kind of guns have you built?

I realized long ago that to make sense of any of the PCs in RPGs you have to imagine them as incredibly nosy busybodys who can't stand letting anything happen without their involvement.

Bioshock (the original) is an interesting case. It tries to do something very interesting and rare: create an ecology the player can manipulate. The splicers, Big Daddies, and security systems all...

I have seen quite a few people call Infinite's combat "simple" or "standard," which just makes me think they must not play a lot of shooters. No other shooter gives you the mobility and options of...

If you want more Darkness 2, be sure to check out the Vendetta mode, which is a parallel story to the main game with new locations and characters. I found the samurai guy to be particularly fun.

I said Bulletstorm!

Wow, I love this post.

The gameplay is tedious, the pacing is tuned for long-term grind, the quests are boring and repetitive, there is little plot or character to speak of, and very few actually know how to make the...

That first kill in Bioshock Infinite is essential. Minor spoilers here, so if you haven't played the first hour of Infinite, maybe skip the rest of this.

The first hour of Infinite is esentially a...

Take a look at Bastion, Psychonauts, Quantum Conundrum, World of Goo, Trine 1 & 2, Portal 1 & 2, Mirror's Edge, and of course Prince of Persia (2003).

I'm playing: Bioshock Infinite for the 3rd...

Far Cry 3-- Good, but much larger than a typcial manshoot. You might have a similar problem as with Deus Ex.
Spec Ops: The Line-- Meh.
Brink-- Terrible.
CodBLOPS-- Have you played a Call of Duty?...

Finished twice! The gun-wizardry is excellent, and it definitely earns its place on the list.

Max Payne 3 is an amazing, amazing, shooting game. Just hammer enter through the cutscenes and enjoy...

The best manshoots of recent times are Bulletstorm, The Darkness 2, Bioshock: Infinite, Borderlands 2, and Max Payne 3. Kane & Lynch 2 is also good, especially if you really want to rub your face in...

Link or something?

Emperor is probably the best, it has the complexity of Pharaoh with the quality of life improvements of Zeus (it's also flippin' gorgeous), but there's no digital edition. I prefer Pharaoh to Zeus.

Jumping in to say Natural Selection 2 is awesome!

Oh man, Sen's Funtress, the memories... Love that place. Good luck!

I recently beat Tomb Raider and Crysis 3. Both good. I think I'll revisit the original Crysis next; it's been a while.
