Got to do a Major Order in real life, 10/10

A short but very sweet return to the Tron universe. My first playthrough lasted just over 2 hours, and I was fully engrossed the whole time. The developers perfectly captured the look and sound of the Grid, and the story and characters are very well written and feel true to the Tron universe. The puzzles were alright, not terrible but not to noteworthy either.

I would probably give it a high 7/10, maybe even 8/10 depending on how the other endings are (only gotten the bad ending so far)

This is the story of a gamer named John. One day, John was feeling quite bored. He wanted to play a game but didn't feel like playing anything he owned. "Gee," he thought, "I would sure like to play something new, original, and fresh. Maybe it could have witty comentary, jokes, and easter eggs too. Oh, and it can have tons of endings!" Then John remembered he had heard of a game that souned quite fun. He struggled to remember its name, but at last rembered. John typed the game's name into the Steam seach bar: The Stanley Parable. He clicked on its page, and looked at the confusing screanshots and the strange trailers, and finally glanced at the price: $14.99. Luckly, John was bored enough and had a big enough wallet to give the game a chance. But you see, this where the story ends, for now anyway, because John is not John, nor, if you had easily understood from prior knowledge of the game's narative, Stanley. No, John is you. And you have arrived at the game's first choice: will you listen to what I say, choose the left door and find out what awaits you on this path? Or will you turn right, and continue on playing your dull, run-of-the-mill AAA FPSMMORPGRTS-thingy? If only I knew, I'm not some omni-present Narrator. No, this choice belongs to you. Choose wisely, Stanley.

I'm Commander Shepard, and thi- oh wait, I should save that for the sequel. Anyway, Mass Effect is a Sci-Fi RPG in which you play as Commander Shepard, but unlike other games you mold his (or her) story. Through the use of Paragon (good) and Renegade (bad) actions, you can make Shepard a galactic hero, or an intergalactic jerk. Really, you need to play it for yourself. Saying anything more could be considered a spoiler, or not! It depends on what path you choose. Did I mention anything to do here carries on to the sequel? Your Shepard. Your decisions. Your Mass Effect.

Space... the final frontier. No, this is not the voyage of the starship Enterprise, this is a game where you run a space program, build rockets, man them with little green people called Kerbals, and hope you get them into orbit and don't blow them up. Don't like rockets? No problem! You can make planes too, and if you are feeling a bit crazy, cars (they are more rovers, but use your imagination)!

Ah, this game. What a fun little title. What does it have? Science, puzzles, robots, witty AIs, exploding lemons, co-op, hats, a level editor, Workshop support, your money... oh wait. It doesn't have that last one. You should fix that! Buy Portal 2 now!

Wait. Are you telling me you have installed Steam and DON'T own Skyrim? Well, you need to fix that. This game is MASSIVE. The base game itself is long, and having 2 copies (PC and Xbox 360), I still don't think I have experienced everything it has to offer. Then you bring in it's DLCs. Dawnguard and Dragonborn feel like small games in themselves, Dragonborn even adds a new landmass to explore. There is also Hearthfire, which while small, is still an intresting experience. But if there is one amazing thing about Skyrim, it is the Workshop support. Tons and tons of user created content are waiting, from texture upgrades and patches, to new weapons, armor, spells, and areas. This game is fantastic, and is deserving of a spot in any Steam library.

This game, as well as Halo:CE, revolutionized the FPS. This game is 9 years old, and is still better than most game now adays. And all of it, without your character saying a single word. If you get this, also get Half-Life 2: Episode 1 and Episode 2. YOU WILL NOT REGRET THIS.

It's like Minecraft. Ok not really but it's a sandbox game where you can spawn any vehicle, any NPC, and character model, use any weapon, and use any asset from Source game. Also, Steam Workshop gives you more stuff. And lets not forget the custom gametypes like TTT.

TL;DR- BUY THIS GAME (And for best experience Half-Life 2+ both episodes, TF2, CS:S, Portal and Portal 2)

In an era ruled by games with ranking systems and progression systems, Team Fortress 2 exists as a FPS fueld by pure, stupid fun. Sure, it may have gone the F2P route, with micro-trasactions being the only trusty way to get items (there are random drops, but, well... they are random. duh.), but it is still fun. Another Valve masterpiece, to be sure. To quote the Heavy, "This game is credit to Steam!"
