Really good game. Good waste of a couple of hours. Bosses will make you hnnnngg but not in the good way. Graphics are the opposite, as are the sick dank nasty EDM dubstep bass lazer beats which will both make you have a seizure. Not for small children with anger issues or epileptics.

10/10 Would break brain.

Super fun game! Although it is in early alpha, it is very promising. Tons of good spots to ski, but not snowboard yet (either they have not added snowboards yet or I cannot find out how to use them), and a lot of general nice things. There is no sound yet but the game is KILLER. Get it.

10/10

Sleeping Dogs is like an Asian GTA. The graphical fidelity of the game is unparalleled by competitors such as Saints Row or Grand Theft Auto. The story line is different from the others in some senses yet remarkably similar in others. You play as an undercover cop in Hong Kong and you get to do tons of stuff from cockfights to local fight clubs to karaoke at local clubs.

PROS [+]:
-Amazing graphics
-Great storyline
-Usually quite inexpensive when on sale
-Tons of DLC if you want more
-Large map
-Tons of vehicles from boats to bikes
-Has a plot that keeps you on the edge of your seat
-Lots of little ways (or big ones) to help you make money in game


CONS [-]:
-Game is very needy (resource-wise) when playing on high graphics settings
-Not a lot of big choices in the story compared to games like Skyrim
-Weird camera angles in cars can be annoying some times
-3rd person camera only while on foot
-Only runs in windowed mode for me
-Little to no customizability of vehicles or guns
-No multiplayer

OVERALL:
If you are looking for a new open world game that isn't just shoot-em-up-crime-gangbang-city-in-America, look no further. Sleeing Dogs has an intense story and a plot chock full of back stabbing, lies, and death. This game is so good and is relatively inexpensive. If you have the money and are looking for a new single-player game, GET IT.

RATING: 8.5/10

Really good game. Very simple, yet complex at the same time. For first time players: DO NOT let the game's recoil mechanics scare you away. It will take some time to get used to but once you do, it is a great game.

PROS: [+]
-Great community (COMPARED TO SOME OTHER GAMES)
-Frequent updates
-Tradable stuff
-Source Engine means that players from GMod, CS 1.6/Source, etc. won't (or at least shouldn't) have a hard time adapting to new controls and physics.
-VERY Competitive at higher levels
-Tons of workshop files and tons of room to make your own skins and maps
-Weapon skins
-Multiple modes for casual or competitive and more
-High FPS on almost any PC (great optimization)

CONS: [-]
-Skins can be expensive or worthless
-Skins and cases can suck the money out of you if you let it
-Recoil is not very easy to get used to
-No aiming down sights (FOR NEW PEOPLE, CALM DOWN VETS)
-Cooldowns can be handed out unfairly
-Low graphic quality/detail compared to other games (IT IS SOURCE, CALM DOWN)
-MP only (if you are reading this, you most likely have internet at home, THERE IS A BOTS ONLY OPTION)
-Hackers do like to hack in competitive matches at higher levels
-Callouts are not that easy to learn for beginners

OVERALL:
Get it. If it is on sale, CS:GO is an even better deal. The recoil was my biggest challenge at the start but just take some time to practice with bots. Perfect for traders, casual FPS players, competitive FPS players, and workshop content creators.

RATING:
9.5/10
