Batman Arkham City is one of those games that improves upon it's predecesor in many ways. Everything that worked in Arkham Asylum has been tweaked with improved controls, more complex combat, amazing soundtrack, better bosses, and more to explore in it's small yet rich open world. The Riddler collectibles may have been taken a bit too far and the less self contained nature may be drawbacks to some, but overall, Rocksteady hit it out of the park by aiming to make the best Batman game possible.
Batman Arkham Asylum is one of the definitive ways to experience the Caped Crusader's fight against crime. Great combat, a metroidvania style world design, fun characters, and self contained story are it's strongest points, but the boss fights may leave a lot to be desired. Wether you're an experienced fan or a casual one of the character, the game is absolutely worth checking out.
Armed and Dangerous is one of those games that's developed a cult following over time. In spite of being an average low budget third person shooter in terms of gameplay, it's aburd story and characters engage the player to play the full 6 hour campaign.
Whilst not as revolutionary or as intriguing as the orginal Deus Ex, Human Revolution still is an example of making a game fun, open, and with plenty of options to tackle missions and challenges. The only issue may be the fact the story is a bit weak while lacking the depth and complexity it's predecessors have. If you're interested, it goes really cheap when on sale, and you get a fair bang for your buck experience.
Years after being tired of the saturation of WWII FPS games in the market and seeing Call of Duty: World at War as a swan song for the genre, the itch to play such games as come back at the right time, and MOH: Allied Assault is a good way to get back in. It may not wooh those who have loved games that succeeded it and improved upon it's ideas, it's simple to pick up and get used to, and once started, it's a joy to play through. Plus, it's cheap and comes included with two expansions. My only complaints would be the lack of proper widescreen support (although it's perfectly playable in 4:3) and may be a bit on the easy end for many.
Many regard Deus Ex as one of the greatest PC games of all time, and they're not entirely wrong. The game provides sandbox level designs giving the player plenty of options on how to tackle and complete objectives with a wide variety of tools and customization. Even though the game is easily recommendable, it's good to let everyone know it may require a bit of tweaking to set the game up as best as possible on your PC. Once that's done, it's a joy to play, even today.
The game ticks most of the right boxes when it comes to being good: good gameplay, a nice world that encourages exploration, nice visuals, a very nice ambient soundtrack, and for the most part, fun. However, even though it's generally well put together, the game may be a bit too cryptic for it's own good. This isn't so much a story problem but a communication one to the player, especially when it comes to collectibles or how certain elements work, and for new players, it may be very easy to get lost on what to do next. Good news is, with a bit of patience, it'll likely click and just become a nitpick Overall, I would recommend having a look, but not before making sure what you're getting into.
