I've had gametap for a short while now, however, i've played plenty of fun games. I never did see a comments board for them, though, so i'm going to just jot down my ideas here.

Hitman: Blood Money
Fun game, good replay value, good for fans of Metal Gear Solid or Splinter Cell series. The only problems are the last couple of levels, where it draws away from the games "complete it with highest ranking in many differant ways" playstyle, otherwise it is plentyful fun. 10/10.
(P.S., somebody said that the cheat enabled script was already included in the gameplay for this game, however, i found that the cheat menu would not work for me, any advice would be kind)

Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
Fun game, not great replay value, the last level is extremely NOT related to the game at all. For a stealth game, this disapointed me tons. I have yet to beat it, as i suck with firefights in this game (seeing as it is stealth and all), otherwise its good. 9/10

Titan Quest
Reminds me alot of Diablo 2, albeit with worse pet controls for the classes this applies to. Online is fun, but you will get greedy retarded players that just annoy you to no end (what do you mean hunter and defense not good combo?!?!). The constant clicking can be a bit of a pain, and all the enemies are practically the same, "the grunts, the heavies, the ranged, the bosses". 8/10

Far Cry
Reminds me a ton of Crysis, albeit a bit easier. However, this only lasts until about halfway through the game, where you go from guerilla warfare to "i hope you can headshot them in half a second from half a mile away, while they are stealthed!" which really killed it for me. The hang glider part didn't last half as long as i wished it did i may add. The difficulty curve is very high, which disapointed me. Also, half of the cheats i found didn't work, but half did, so i'm quite confused about that overall. 8/10.

Unreal Tournament 3
Good game, however, the campaign is very short and the only online matches that you can ever join into are duels and ones with haxxers. 8.5/10

Shining Force
Personal favorite, even if it is a bit slow at times when you have thousands of enemies that take do nothing terms on the other side of the freaking map! 9.5/10.

I have to agree with you 100%. The enemy AI is laughable and since the game actually rewards defeat by letting you keep any EXP earned just destroys the difficultly factor. I have heard of Shining Force II and III but I have never actually seen them. The new "real-time" ones are just terrible. I hate how turn-based games are considered obsoulte by today's standards! I love them but they are becoming harder and harder to find.

heh, yeah, i remember back the first time i ever played the game i was like 10, and i had no clue about "egressing" from a fight to level up my characters, or not promoting them the moment they got to level 10, i got to the last level...never did beat it though...now i don't have the attention span to get past the first battle after you get the essential "flying knight".

Also I hate how almost evey new character you find is another dang "knight"! There must be like 30 of them in the game!

Right now I'm tryig to finish it without ever losing a battle. Makes fighting bosses extermely difficult!

without losing a battle? hrm, i don't think i've lost one to this point, or had to egress because of loses. Khris, once leveled up, is a great healer, and Mae is an awesome tank--i just skip all other knights, those 2 together can take on half the enemy army.

This is good. I like mini-reviews like this. Maybe one of these days ill stop being lazy and do a few myself.

I have to agree with your assessment on shining force. It has a few foibles but an otherwise fantastic game. I've beaten that game countless times. Don't forget about Blue, the baby dragon. Once hes leveled up hes probably the strongest character in the game.
