Blacksite for PC
Frontlines: Fuel of War, for PC
S.T.A.L.K.E.R, First Person Shooter, for PC
Shadowrun, første cross-platform onlinespill, for Windows PC

"best deal i ever done, 2-3€ for each game" :mrgreen:







the stupid thing is that the sending price costs 3 times more than the games, but hey, its still an super deal :oops:

He, he - I wrote reviews for three of the games you listed. In two cases there's a reason why you acquired them so cheaply. ^^

Blacksite - prepare yourself for the most bland and generic shooter of recent times with a broken squad AI and annoying bugs here and there...

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is indeed quite awesome, especially after all the patches...

Shadowrun - copy and paste my description of Blacksite (except the squad AI ;-)

i've got S.T.A.L.K.E.R. (what a nuissance to type) too and it is a great game indeed. Almost got to the actual nuclear plant when my savefiles got messed up and had to play it all over again (in Sovjet Russia save files delete you)!
After that mishap I didn't bother playing it anymore. A shame though.

Yo, this bug was fixed later on but that wouldn't be much use to you anyway since it made past save games incompatible (you lose your save game involuntarily or voluntarily, either way, you lose it - brilliant). ^^

I reviewed STALKER as well, quite a fun game to play - but I hated the invisible mutants :evil:
oh and powerplant was probably the most interesting part :)

i wondered aswell in stalker is there any kind of quick save? caus everytime i die it start all from the beginning, which is very boring :|
and in shadowrun the whole game is that u can select whatever chapter u want and play training or bot match? i dont understand it aswell :P

the frontlines: fuel of war singleplayer was awesome, but the multiplayer is more like ET:QW or BF2142 which is not really my kind.

Shadowrun is a good game, reviewers only burned it down because it lacked maps and they hardly invested time in it. If you invest some time into it you'll see why its a good game, especially if you have some friends to play with.

Yep. F6 and F7 if I recall correctly. Have you updated the game to the latest version? Be sure to do it, otherwise your saves might get screwed.

Umm... no! It's a simple slap in the face of all ppl knowing the P&P-RPG. :|

Nah, comparing it to its supposed inspiration, the P&P RPG, makes it just to easy. Shadowrun is just a slap in the face for anybody expecting anything else than an average game. =)

FUCK P&P

If you don't care/know about shadowrun its all fine. And the maps and game is good. People who hate it just don't understand how to play the game.

Hmm - it seems Crovax can apply this argument not only to maps but to whole games as well! Woohoo! You'd be an amazing reviewer. ;-)

P.S. People don't hate the game - they are indifferent towards it because it's an average product lost in the murky waters of mediocrity... Like all games receiving an aggregated score of 60-70%...

Well i have Played all these games. from top to bottom

STALKER: Awesome game, and yea a bit shity about the bugs but they fixed it and the ending wasnt like i thought it would be, so it supriced me, witche is cool.
Allso tested multiplayed, kinda ok because you can buy items there whenever you got enough cash, witche you get from killing, capture point or the likes.
PS. those invisible mutans, Damn Basterds! scared me to hell!

Frontlines: was kinda ok game, Great singel play, sadly not tested multi play.

Shadowrun: Awesome consept over the game, not like any other online FPS. My fav. was Elf with teleport and Katana :D, Backstabing people and then be gone again.

Blacksite: suckes, simply. Lag, Bugs, hardly any fun to play. did complete it though.

ugh reviews mean squat. Many sites and magazines only burned it down because it didn't have ladder climbing animations and too few maps. It wasn't worth the prize yes, but its still a good game. Not awesome, not great, but good. Many reviewers stated that they thorougly enjoyed the game but that the lack of content was a big reason not to buy the game at the pricepoint it launched.

The options you get with the spells and some slight teamwork are just mindboggling and a lot of fun. The big flaw with the game simply was its pricepoint it should have been 20 euro's from launch.

oh and the artwork was bad. I'll give you that. Still its gameplay that matters, else I wouldn't still be playing civ II (nor any civ for that matter)

Frontlines : Fuel of War was a great game but it was not finished. They "beta tested" the game on the people who bought it and that is what killed it for me.. (I have it on steam but I don't bother installing it.. 12GB..). So if you want this game dont pay more than 20$ on it.. it's just a waste of your money

Singular reviews, perhaps. That's why I never link to any particular site to say "but look, Gamespot panned this game" or "it received an awesome review on IGN" and give aggregated scores instead. If 20 sources say that something is, on the whole, average at best, then it probably is. ;-)
Even though you might still like it - that has nothing to do with the objective quality of any given product.

you need to walk up stairs and kill that "thing" that spawns, after you have killed that the door is open and you are free
