In my first 4-5hrs, I had gotten into gunfights, caroused with ♥♥♥♥♥♥, got deputized, rode a riverboat, raced a horse, protected laborers, mined, drank, cheated at poker, herded, (the list goes on...)

Has some very original ideas, a half-decent plot, snippets of good music, a few good voice parts, and some nice comic-style artwork. But the rest is mediocre, and I was glad to be done by the end.

Overall, I can’t quite recommend unless you want a heaven/hell themed 3D Zelda. It’s honestly a great addition to a small gaming library, but if you're spoiled for choice, there are better choices.

I feel like I can be happy I played it, and can probably even call it "good", but there’s a number of glaring annoyances that bring it down and other issues that make me hesitant to ever recommend it.

You play some crazy chaos-bringing bio-genetic lunatic soaring around Manhattan smashing things up with the giant fists, blades, or tendrils of your messy bio-deforming mass.

An incredibly mixed bag of features, annoyances, disappointments, satisfaction, and fun. Add what should be free content with a registry edit. The save files clog your HDD. Amazing fire effects.

(FKA "The Sea Will Claim Everything") Recommended for point-and-clickers who like a good long read; skips among many different sociopolitical topics, but conveys a general message of kindheartedness.

1947 Los Angeles, after the war. A rookie cop. Each case, like a new episode on a show, most of them very good. The MotionScan capture process is the game's greatest tech, though occasionally uncanny.

Your goal is to prevent the deaths of the eponymous mansion’s guests, one (or two) at a time. Simple puzzles, interesting pacing. A gem (not a diamond, but a ruby or an emerald) in the rough.

From the opening cinematic, you know not to take the game too seriously. The mix of professionalism and budget camp might confuse you into trying to make sense of it. Don't. Just enjoy the ride.
