I'll keep this pretty short and simple. Tron 2.0 really emerges you in its world. It's one of those "down the rabbit hole we go" games , like what bioshock does to you. The world still feels believable, real and alive. One of my favorite sounds from the original Tron movie was the Recognizer's. Was sad in Tron Legacy they didn't sound the same. Tron 2.0 they do and it's bad ass. The combat feels good blocking discs and the skill-up system is highly addicting.
The best thing about TORMENT: Tides of Numenera is not only is it a fun game, it teaches you things you don't even realize. This game was made by some of the best writers on earth. It's almost the same way King's Quest/Space Quest/Police Quest taught me how to type. This game can teach you proper use of grammar and just elevate your reading/writing skills. Aside from all that though, game is masterfully written and incredibly engaging. The only downside , if any is the combat. Then again, even Planescape Torment main focus wasn't combat. It was it's masterful story telling. You can play Tides of Numenera a hundred times and each time will be completely different, due to the web of choices the game takes you on. This is a choose your own adventure book, made into a video game. This is mind candy. If you are looking for more action oriented games though, seek out Pillars of Eternity (even though sort of heavy on reading too) , Wasteland 1 (2 in the works) Divinity Original Sin 1 and 2 (coming soon). I'm a proud backer of tides and glad we had this opportunity to even have this game created.

This series has a special place in my heart. Shattered Lands, just amazing .. and even though Wake of Ravager had a lot of bugs .. still just as amazing because the combat was so deep. It's turned based, Wasteland 2/fallout 1-2/Divine Divinity : Original Sin ..but with older looking graphics. A lot of depth to the combat. Cast web, slow down enemies .. shoot fireballs (hit many),...combats great! Shattered lands had one of the most amazing end times too. Won't give it a way but when you overcome the "event" ..leave feeling very heroic. Still haven't beat Wake of Ravager , will give it another go though. Good game, must own. also check out: (if your RPG fan) Eye of the Beholder Series Menzoberranzan Ravenloft Series Each is 6! out of 5 to me as well..so damn good
