Saints Row 3

Saints row 3 is about being the leader of a gang dumped into a brand new city where you need to build up a whole new empire while taking out rival gangs. Unlike the first two which had some serious moments and a good plot saints row 3 is more about mindless violence and toilet humor and is more fun to just ride around in a customized car trying to do crazy stunts rather than actually trying to stick to the mind numbing boring plot. The game is definitely better for the bored player looking for something that requires little thought process and not for someone who is looking for colorful characters great gameplay mechanics and challenging puzzle.

Don't get me wrong the game is fun but not smart, the gunplay is for the most part solid the physics are mostly realistic (gravity is a bit light for comical reasons) and the cars handle realistically and don't seem floatly like gta 4. One of the reasons I enjoy this game is the fact that you can take some crappy little station wagon and put in nitros, underlighting, a way to strong engine, and machine guns on the hood james bond style.

Would i recommend this game at its current price? Simple answer no the game feels empty in terms of content and i would only recommend it on a sale price (steams seasonal sales usually have it for around 75 percent off at which I would highly recommend it.

Sniper elite nazi zombie army 2

Sniper elite nazi zombie army was an incredibly popular twist on an otherwise realistic WWII sniping game where Hitler finds 1 of 3 artifacts that when combined can raise the fallen from the dead but impatiently he activated it with only the one artifact. This brought the nazi soldiers back from the dead but only partially thus the zombie army part.

The great thing about sniper elite is the very realistic sniping physics the game has and can have because of its main focus being on the sniping. This means. Depending in the rifle you choose the easier or harder it will be to control, in example a rifle with high muzzle velocity won't be as effected by wind or gravity but has a higher amount of recoil and is usually a bolt action rifle meaning a slower fire rate. Or a semi auto sniper usually has a much lower velocity meaning a bullet more effected by wind and gravity and less accurate but a lower recoil and higher fire rate means more bullets down range. Along with your sniper you carry one of a few sub machine guns or shotguns and a pistol. You also carry a number of explosive traps like trip wire bombs and land mines

The zombies are if it's possible to say are realistic they shamble on broken limbs and scream with voices of the damned and their heads splatter if you get a headshot on them (also scores you more points.) The games story line is comparable to a cheesy zombie movie and plays like an arcade shooter, you kill the zombies to score points the more points you score the higher you get on the leaderboards, the higher on the leaderboard you get the better you can feel about yourself and so on.

If you like shooting things and zombies sniper elite nazi zombie army 2 is a good choice

Titanfall

Titanfall is the first game out of a brand new studio called respawn entertainment (the same team that made the last good call of duty's). Titanfall is a fps mixed with mech combat that creates some very unique moments. Titanfall is a multiplayer only game which doesn't work for a story very well but at least they tried. The story as I have gathered is the IMC is military power that goes to other planets and mines them for resources killing the wildlife and destroying the worlds as they go. But a recent rebel group called the militia is fighting them off as best they can basically being an terrorist for good reasons.

In titanfall you get to play as pilots who are highly trained extremely agile soldiers who can traverse the terrain using a sort of jetpack/jumppack thing. And you get to play as the titans (mechs) the titans as of now come in 3 different chassis the stryder is extremely fast but has little armor, the atlas is well balanced in agility and defense and then the ogre which is very slow but heavily armored. Both the pilot and the titans have customization loadout ranging from the usual guns and grenades to special abilities like cloaking and sped up health regeneration or titans exploding with nuclear force when you eject from them.

The game modes are the usual team deathmatch, control points, capture the flag etc but one mode is unique it is called last titan standing. In this mode everyone spawns with a titan and in the end the last team with a working titan wins.

What I really liked about titanfall was the maps, the maps were all different, fun to play and extremely atmospheric. The design was good providing a good mix of titan and pilot battlegrounds and areas built to suit the different weapons you can utilize.Titanfall is a brilliant fps/mech combat game that deserves a play

Alan wakes American nightmare

Alan wakes American nightmare is. A short sequel to the massively popular game Alan wake a psychological thriller. AWAN was released in 2012 as a sort of novelette to while they worked on a full length sequel that unfortunately never came. A unique part of Alan wake is that the entire plot is written out in a book and your actions are narrated. In the game you can find manuscript pages to unlock secrets and even find out what's going to happen before it even happens

The story starts off with the hero Alan wake waking up in a canyon at night. He grabs his flashlight and gets up stating that he needs to find his gun. As you scan the environment with your flashlight acting as your cursor you see a shine in the distance as you walk over to it you see an m9 pistol laying on the ground just as you pick it up a dark presence materializes in front of you and out steps a man shrouded in darkness. He slowly lumbers toward you an axe in hand as you shoot him with no visible effect until Alan says that he needs to concentrate the light to get rid of the darkness surrounding him. After concentrating the light on the man the darkness dissipates but he is still after you so after you shoot him and he dissolves into shadows.

This is just some of the intense action and creepy atmosphere that the Alan wake series is chock full of. However I felt that awan was more of an action junky shootem up than the creepy constantly checking your back feeling that the first one gave me. Looking at the game it's more of a third person shooter than a continuation but it still has it's moments where it can give you a good scare
It's a good game but not great
