HALF-LIFE 2: Setting Standards ... in almost every aspect.

bytheuerkorn Dec 31, 2004

Cons Online activation required, no manual available (at all)
Recommended it? Yes

In 1998 the original Half-Life set standards and the sequel initially set records in a slightly different way by being one of the longest delayed and yet published games ever. Half-Life 2 has finally been published in November 2004 -- 6 years after the original game made a big splash in the... Read full review »

Pros awesome graphics engine, solid plot, gameplay varies, huge environments
Cons high system specs, a few areas where the character will get "stuck"
Recommended it? Yes

Half Life 2 received solid reviews from all the major gaming sites on the web, including a 97% from IGN and a 92% from Gamespot, accounting for a disgustingly high 96% overall among 61 media outlets on the web.

Civ IV; Massive Entertainment Even If It's Not A Gaming Breakthrough

bybuffoonery Jun 8, 2008
60 Helpfuls 61 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Fascinating and massively entertaining look at history
Cons The military system really needs improvement
Recommended it? Yes

Civilization IV is the latest iteration of the redoubtable, very profitable computer game franchise from Firaxis. Everything is bigger, better, and prettier and this game will provide many, many hours of game play. It's addictive. Really addictive. Like the Morrowind games, something I really had...

Pros Improved graphics and sound, more victory options, automates some boring stuff
Cons Memory-hoggish, problems with patches
Recommended it? Yes

In The Beginning....: It's hard to believe, but it's been a bit over 16 years since I was invited to my computer-savvy friend Raci's house and "sneakily" introduced to one of the most popular strategy game franchises ever published.
