For reference, this is the first Tropico game that I've played. The graphics are great, the sound and music is awesome, and the comedic moments make it an all around fun experience.

The only flaw that I've seen so far is the overview of resources. It would be really nice to see what the current flow of each of each of your resources and wether it is being used by industry or being sold off (either locally or via trade contracts). The info might be there somewhere, but I haven't been able to find it yet, so maybe I just haven't hit the right button.

Other than that, the game so far has been pretty awesome.

Colony was destroyed by a pack of rabid terriers. 10/10 would die horribly again

So a few days ago I finished up the main story line on medium difficulty. There were a few issues that I ran across:

- Performance - The game ran very smoothly (60fps) with very short loading times. HOWEVER, as soon as I hit the third chapter, I ran into a major bug where the game would randomly crash my system. It wasn't even a normal crash where it would exit out the game. It would hang up the entire system and force a manual restart. This was still happening after I updated to the latest AMD drivers.

- Combat - To be honest, I ended up playing most of the game in stealth. It seemed to be the most reliable in terms of combat. I tried to go guns ablazing a few times, but health and armor is eaten up way to quick to even take a few shots. To add to this, the cover system kept on freaking out, with either hiding my weapon or changing my camera position rapidly into different positions. Add in that a single regular non-silenced bullet pulls in every mob in a 5 mile radius (and they know your exact position, even when hiding), it didn't make much sense to play anything other than stealth. By the end of the game, I was almost in the permanant crouch position unless I was backtracking.

The dual wielding was a neat concept, but my playthrough left it mostly unused due to not being able to use aiming for headshots, and the ammo consumption.

- Weapons - Not a whole lot of variety. You have your basic weapons with some upgrades, but it really didn't feel like they added much of a punch. Like I mentioned with combat, the shotgun, rocket launcher, and machine gun got minimal use (especially the shotgun, it's basically useless even with the upgrades). The heavy weapons were fun however, although it would have been nice to have more interaction with the BFG-like launcher.

- Upgrade System - For the weapons, there are 4 essential upgrades; silencers for the pistol and SMG, the charge for the laser rifle, and the explode on impact for the rocket launcher. Besides that, the rest of them didn't have a whole lot of noticable effect on gameplay (maybe the armor piercing on the LMG). The passive upgrades I didn't really even notice.

- Enemies - The AI is pretty smart, and they know how to flank you. The only thing I found irritating was that they would make a beeline to wherever you were, no matter if you had not been spotted in a while. I understand the commander aspect, but when you combine that with every mob in the area having automatic xray vision of where you are if you make a single noise before taking them out, it's pretty nonsense. I did attempt to knock out alarms, but that was tedius, and just ended up stealth killing everything and back-tracking as needed to avoid being overrun.

- Bosses - Bosses are mostly made up of appearances of new mobs that will appear commonly in new chapters. The final boss I didn't even really see. All I did was stand in the little bunkers in the corners and shoot at part of it's leg until it exploded. Rinse and repete for it's buddy that was there.

- Story - I generally liked the story, but I feel it didn't have the depth or imagination that the New Order and Old Blood had. One of the things I liked was the background of the occult and sci-fi that the previous had. This was more of just a straight forward action movie with no twists involved. It would have been great to have a complete weapon switch-up for the Venus levels, or maybe have us fight a mecha-hitler since he was there .

- Graphics - Mostly great, and the game (when it was running) ran at a solid FPS. The only thing I noticed is some poor res wraps that they did on things like the non-combat robots on Venus.

- Voice and Sound - Very good, just some minor synching issues during speaking parts. Again, it would have been nice to see some more in-depth conversations with the characters.

- Overall - I really felt the game could have offered a lot more, seeing what we got from New Order and Old Blood. The story was incredibly short, and the ending was abrubt (I thought, "wait, that's it?"). The crashing bugs were a definite issue, and while there was a familiar cast from the previous games, I feel a lot more could have been done with character depth. There should have also been a lot more depth in the gameplay development of Blazkowicz, specifically in the aspect of upgrades to weaponry and abilities.

As it stands right now, I would put a recommendation of not to purchase (Nov 2). If you haven't played the other two, I would get those instead, and hopefully they work out some of the issues over the next few months to make the game run smoother and make the experience more enjoyable. As of right now, it's not worth the full cost of the game.

I really tried to get into this game, but to no avail. I appreciate the concept they were trying to go for, but in the end the storyline was boring, the combat is sub-par, and I could care less about what happened to the characters.

Murdered: Soul Suspect is by no means a great game, neither is it a bad game. It is relatively short; the storyline takes about 11 or so hours. The gameplay is fairly simple; travel the overworld to the next objective, sneak/stealth past the baddies, then investigate a crime scene. There are a few puzzles here and there, but nothing that is too complicated. There are a few mechanics introduced throughout the game, but nothing too in-depth, which made the gameplay a bit bland. However, since the game is so short, the lack of new/interesting mechanics didn't really matter since even the basic actions I didn't end up using too many times.

Overall, I wasn't blown away, but I didn't not enjoy the storyline. If the following is true: you want a quick game for the weekend, it's on sale, you don't want anything overcomplicated, and you've played through everything else in your library; then this would be a decent game. If you are looking for anything in-depth or with a in-depth storyline, steer clear of this one.

Definitely a must-have for anyone on a multimonitor setup. Easy setup as well, just start it up, start up your game in windowed mode, then apply the borderless window. You can even set up favorites, so it will auto-detect and adjust as soon as you start up your most-played games.
