Mafia 2

Is this an offer you can’t refuse?

I can’t compare my time spent with Mafia 2 with anything else really. I suppose its similar to G.T.A IV in regards to having a huge open world and even less to do in it apart from looking for wanted posters or Playboy centrefolds. The story itself is fantastic that being said I am a fan of gangster films in general so perhaps my opinion is biased. It almost felt like reading a good book where you just can’t stop turning pages, I always wanted to complete missions to see what happened next in the storyline.

Rage

Doomed gameplay that will make you quake with rage!

The opening sequence of Rage felt a little vague and short perhaps I blinked and missed something but I wasn’t sure what was going on but as soon as i’d inverted the controls and stepped outside I was impressed. The visuals were striking and straight away I was reminded of borderlands albeit a lot more beautiful and interesting post apocalyptic world than that one. After a few moments of enjoying the view I got attacked by something that again reminded me of the enemies in borderlands then got rescued and taken to a local encampment of friendly people. I was extremely impressed with the design of the characters with everyone dressed in unique clothes and accessories.

Bioshock

Get caught in the rapture!

From the crash landing in the middle of the ocean and receiving a radio message asking me to kindly do something for someone to the first few moments in the city of Rapture and the terrifying first encounter with a Big Daddy Bioshock felt like something new and fresh when it first came out on the 360. The game has since been released on PS3 with some extras, most notably the survival mode which for me at least is the way to play the game and drastically reduces the amount of bullets, health and cash that you’ll find throughout the city of Rapture as well as making combat significantly harder.

Dead Space

Watch your back!

The day after I played the demo I had to go out and buy this game I was so impressed with it. I’m a big fan of survival horror type games and I also like sci-fi so for me Dead Space filled a gap. As well as this it was a brand new franchise and I’m always on the lookout for something new and fresh when it comes to gaming.
