The great grandson of the legendary System Shock 2 is a sobering example of how even venerated IP's can end with a whimper, not a bang. Gone is the atmosphere of tension, solitude and slow, cloying fear, of being a rat in an alien maze, desperately fighting the machinations of a near-ubiquitously powerful, intelligent enemy who hates you more than anything else.

I know I gave it a 10, but nothing is perfect. That said, if I could, I'd give Bioshock: Infinite a 9.9 of 10. It's wonderful. Combat is frantic and organic, characters are intriguing and well-rounded (including Elizabeth, who will definitely be seen as one of the best game characters of all time in my eyes), and the story is deeply moving for both the characters and the player.

Rigid, intermittent and lack of any vestige of narrative power, the fourth installment digs up the laughable past of an emblematic character for a saga that seems lost, while simultaneously, buries the short possibilities of recovering the strengths from past times. ... Being as this is the first movie of the franchise that I have watched I ...

A terrible plot that takes forever to unfold and ends like a B-movie that I have to watch in full-color 4k. If the ending was B-movie quality, I would have given it 1 star out of ten. No! I Watch at your peril. Worst movie I have ever seen. A terrible plot that takes forever to unfold and ends like a B-movie that I have to watch in full-color 4k.

The game is fun, if you like constant stuttering and crashes. I play on PC with an i7, 8GB ram and a GTX 760 and on medium settings im getting less than 30 FPS with stuttering constantly. When my rig can run Fallout 4 on high and 60fps no bother. This needs to be patched ASAP and in doing so i will alter my review. Until then its an unplayable ...
Its simply good/ok. I got bored very early, and the shaking wiimote idea to recharge the sword is so obnoxious. I really don't get the high praise for this game. Its repetitive and then it repeats itself, then finally it gets very repetitive after repeating the same hack slash high low oh boy bodyslam over and over again.
4) The humor is gone. Everything is grim, except for occasional buffoonery from ClapTrap. The hip humor that made 1 and 2 memorable is conspicuously missing, as is character development. The use of allies in some battles is nice, but on the whole, no character made me care the least about what happened to them.

Amos reformed education, was an abolitionist & part of underground railroad movement. He was for women's rights, he was part of the transcendentalist movement & founded a "utopian" community ( it failed, but still), the family was vegetarian & wouldn't "enslave animals" - he was a true radical & American original.
After that they adopted Neustar which is currently blocking all connections from certain ISPs and this has been going on for over a week. SBI will not work with you, they just tell you to go buy a VPN and play the game that way. They will not refund your money and their tech support just copy/pastes off a list and adds their signature to it.
I had bought this with the a view toward a good couple of days gaming with friends over the Chritsmas break. NWN2 is just so bad MP we are not even going to try now - its back to NWN1 or something else. NWN2 does have some merit as a single player linear scenario and hence my scoring of it as a 3. ... This is a game that I would expect to find ...
Unfortunately, Thief is pretty much the epitome of a soulless cash-grab reboot. Much like the reboot of Syndicate and (IMO) the newer Tomb Raider games, it loses the essence and special spark of the original and keeps only a veneer of similarity on the surface. Possibly my least favourite significant change lies with the main character, Garrett.
