The entertainment has a thread going where users post their review or rating of the last movie users last watched. So, I figured I'll start up a similar thread for games (Xbox, PS2, PC, PSP, Gameboy, Game Cube, etc)

So, here goes:

Silent Hunter III

3/10

This game didn't get good rating from me b/c I didn't have enough patience to put up with this extremely realistic simulation. The AI is a little dumb, they had to constantly wait for my orders and there wasn't an option somewhere where I could automatic orders. The visuals are stunning, I'll give them points for that. I returned the game anyways.

Half Life 2

10/10

This is, without a doubt, one of the best game I've ever played. It even beats my expectation and even took my attention away from Halo 2 for a change. The graphics are stunning, the single player has great replay value, and the multiplayer is awesome. What more could I ask from a game?

Doom 3

7/10

It's not a bad game, it's not a great game. The single player has little replay value. Multiplayer sucks, I jumped into a CTF game for 5 min and I dropped out of it cuz I found it to be too similar to Quake 2. In fact, this game reminds me entirely of 2005's version of Quake 2. There's nothing new here. The game even has BFG (Big Fucking Gun) which was originally came from Quake 2. Activision needs to come up with something new like Half Life 2 did. I returned the game as well.

Rome: Total War

9/10

Awesome stragety game. It's similar to Civilization 3 (Best game ever) only this time, you can actually zoom in to command your armies in battles. If that's not your preferences, you can simply have the battle automatically resolved. You can also manage each region, your empire and each cities. You can move your armies around, build buildings. It's like Age of Empires and Civilization 3 put together.

Halo 2

8/10

The visuals are stunning and there is a great story line. But it kinda gets boring after awhile when you're doing nothing but shooting, running over alien baddies with your vehicles. It would be great if there were puzzles or problesm to resolve. The thing that sucks about the game that there's too many zombies, especially little critters. Half life 2 has those but it doesn't over-do it as Halo series does. I haven't had the chance to play multiplayer at all, so I can't comment on that much. It's obvious that Halo 3 is going to be coming out and I'm definately am going to buy it since I want to see the end of the story.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2

9/10

Excellent role playing game. It's a pretty long game and I've already played it 4 or 5 times already. I'm not much of a RPG fan before I purchased KOTOR and now, I'm looking out for RPG games. The game also lets you manage your characters extensively, including what skills to learn, what items to wear, use, purchase or sell. It'll be great if the next game in the series will be something of MMORPG

Mercenaries

8/10

Take GTA: Miami and Military hardware together and what do you get? That's right, Mercenaries. The game has excellent replay value, it lets me run around and blow shits up without having to worry about missions. The visuals are great, music sucks, did I mention you could blow shits up? Even with tanks? Helicopters? Artillery?
