This game is like a good fever dream. The team is so small and yet they made an amazing and interesting game. The soundtrack is cool, Sergio is an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, the ps1 graphics are so well done, the writing is so good and slightly disturbing sometimes and the plethora of random citizens is way too amusing. I totally recommend, waiting for the long 40-hour version of this. Meanwhile, i'll play it again.

THE BEST ROLÊ EVER! By "rolê" i mean: experience.
You'll cry eventually, but you'll cringe too(lots of butts and gay stuff) and laugh a lot(drift with idol gurls' boxes, getting killed by a bear, having lots of men wanting your attention and for you to do it harder). The stealth is awesome, but if you're a freak HR guy like me, you'll love this thing! I love everything. Just buy it, forget about the mission score and waste 100+ hours in a immersive and fun Afghanistan.

Goddang this game.
I took months playing it cause i'm a sissy when it comes to horror games, but when i steeled myself, what a game, one of the best i've played in ever.

The story is great, a consistent, compelling and sometimes heart-wrenching sci-fi tale.
The atmosphere is opressing, it scares and puts on your toes more than the monsters themselves(which are few, really).
Soundtrack is simple but effective, and the voice acting is so good(especially Catharine), you identify and empathize with the characters. By the end you'll be much more involved with their universe than you thought possible.

This is not what i was expecting at all, everybody should play this, a great surprise.

Pretty rad date sim. Like any other date sim, only with useful cocktail recipes and older man, HELL YEAH!
It seems sorta superficial, but daaaang, sometimes the guys' backstories are so profound or unsettling you actually feel something!
Would still buy full price cause of the nice art, but your character is stupid, she has a lot of sex, tho, so she's better than me.
BUY THIS IF YOU'RE LONELY AND SAD

This game has a nice and compelling story, but not too many answers, i should say.
It starts very standard, but on your second playthrough, you see how choices and profile changes affect story, even on a limited game.
I took about 3 hours to achieve everything and i really like the writing and would recommend to everyone willing to pass a little time with fun. Better than TV, i guess.

This game is awesome, i wish it was longer, like FF XIII.
For me, this is the best game of the series. The beggining is somehow confusing, but the game proves to be solid on gameplay and action, the garbs system is pretty neat and actually fun to collect.
If you intend to earn all achievements, please, grind a lot and ace your first playtrough, otherwise you're f*****. Good thing is that you can buy time, so, just chill and play.

Yeah, the story is not that good, is a mish mash of religion/philosophy/bullcrap you will ignore mostly, but it's a very fun game. I can't just stop playing, is fine to see old friends and beautiful backgrounds too.

Only a word to describe this game... meh.
I was all excited to buy this game at full price for all the merchandising but i'm glad i waited till the price dropped.
Man, i admit that there are some highlights, like the commands you can give to your squad and the nice graphics, but in a overall, is a disappointment.
The story is superficial as can be: aliens invading the world and you trying to defeat them. The enemies don't pose a threat even on the hardest setting.
The ending is predictable, with a plot twist as impressing as a soap opera.
I wish this game was good, but it won't deliver. Really a Madmen dressed people dealing with aliens would resume this game.

This game is just awesome. It is constantly in sale, but i guess the full price i've paid really worth a lot.
It's a totally different Tomb Raider game, especially for the ones like me who played the previous ones. A needed fresh start on the series, where survival is the focus instead of exploring. Lara is very vulnerable and more realistic than ever, without freakish pointy boobs and a younger look.
Perhaps some people will miss the puzzles and i thought the game extends itself a little too long, but it is a masterpiece anyways. Great graphics, voice acting and script.
Ultra-recommended!

Spec Ops: The Line is a very underrated game, maybe thats a good thing, since it surprises you in many ways.
First, the amazing scenario at the beginning of the game immerses you into the wasteland Dubai has become, and how gritty and shocking the rest of this game is. This game is a conventional 3rd person shooter with great graphics, terrible li sync and a nice voice acting, but the real catch is the story. It shows the transformation of the mind and body of the three soldiers, how they deal with the horror and desolation, all above their own choices in order to survive and complete their mission.

This is not just a shooter, its a game that makes you think and feel like you were in the battlefield, and everything counted.
I came here to play, not to feel.

This game is insanely fun!
Neon lights, 80's feeling and lots of references to that decade. Also, the voice acting by Michael Biehn is amazing, along with the cheesy-stupid jokes that makes you laugh like an idiot.
The gameplay is awesome, the guns and props, everything shines and oh, there's dragons with laser spitting mouths. The animated cutscenes are very fun too.
This game does not take itself seriously, and is very nice to know that such games as this are being developed, made for pure fun, with awesome graphics and a reasonable price.
Highly recommended!
