According to the forums description it is not off-topic and I desperately need a new place to whine about videogames. The games I finished since MobyGames was assassinated:
Leisure Suit Larry Reloaded: Well, it is exactly what I expected. Humour which perfectly speaks to my inner 13-year-old with some bad puzzles and awful woman portraits around it.
Drakensang: River of Time and Phileasson's Secret: I enjoyed this game much more than its predecessor. It is basically the same with many improvements, but unfortunately also the same uninspired dungeons (at least the worst is optional, I think). Phileasson on the other hand is a pretty boring slog of fighting.
Cognition: This game rocks. I finished the four episodes in two sittings and had a lot of fun. Its main problems are some inconsistencies in puzzle design and a few handling problems. I also had major graphical bugs, especially in episode 2.
Red Dead Redemption (Xbox 360): Your standard GTA game in a Western setting. Like alwaysit is a lot of fun but also has the usual problems like useless mini games and stupid whack-the-mole shooting (even worse than GTA IV because of gamepad controls). At least they had the good sense to include fast travel. I was one of those PC gamers which always whined about the fact that the game did not appear on my platform of choice. In hindsight, I shouldn't have, it is not that good. Just play Bully instead.
Recently I started to play some Deus Ex mods. The only one I played before is The Nameless Mod which is just as awesome as the original.
Burden of 80 Proof: This is not really Deus Ex, it is more a short interactive story. Pretty OK, but the action sequences feel superimposed and unnecessary.
Hotel Carone: This one is pretty good. It is centered around a big level representing a hotel. This level feels just right, even if the actual hotel floors are the almost identical (like in reality, I presume) and not very exciting. The level after is stupid (a trigger-happy NPC follows you around) and the one after that (a warehouse) is pretty good. Unfortunately the story does not make a lot of sense (why does UNATCO have a new HQ all of a sudden?).
Nihilum: This mod was released in early 2013. I finished the first main area and I like it so far. Feels like Deus Ex. The voice acting (especially the main character) is atrocious, though.
Because the developers of the new Thief game desperately want me to hate their game, I downloaded the new standalone version of The Dark Mod. I had not the time to play it yet.
