[DISCLAIMER: BELOW IS A REVIEW OF 3 GAMES I HAVE PLAYED AND MY THOUGHTS ON THEM ANY NOTATIONS OF PREFERENCE,THOUGHTS ABOUT THE GAME OR OPINIONS THERE OF ARE OF MY OPINION AND DO NOT REPRESENT FACTS. ANY INFORMATION GIVEN THAT IS NOT MINE HAS BEEN SOURCED WITH A LINK AS WELL] First off we have South Park: The Stick of Truth. In this game you are The New Kid who has moved to the eponymous town and becomes involved in an epic role-play fantasy war involving humans, wizards, and elves, who are fighting for control of the all-powerful Stick of Truth. Their game quickly escalates out of control, bringing them into conflict with aliens, Nazi zombies, and gnomes, threatening the entire town with destruction. SOURCE: Stick of Truth Wikipedia Page This is a Turn-Based Strategy game At the Beginning of the game you are able to create your character which involves picking out your skin color,clothes, hair and makeup after which you enter the world and your parents tell you to go meet new kids. So you leave the house and you end up meeting Butters after which he takes you to the "Grand Wizard" Eric Cartman and then you are able to choose your class Fighter,Mage,Thief or Jew After that you are sent on a variety of missions involving recruiting allies and such. The best way i can think to describe this game is OUTRAGEOUS ....O yea did I forget to mention Kenny is a girl in here [MY OPINION] This game was freaking hysterical there are so many references and jokes. You are able to roam around a fully rendered version of South Park and even a old school looking version of Canada. There is only one major flaw that I can really see with this game which is that it doesnt really do much to bring people into the world of south park as there are many jokes and references from episodes of the TV show that would leave many people not understanding the humor. If you are interested in getting this game I would suggest you watch a bit of south park first so you will understand alot of the references because otherwise they will fly right over your head and the game will not be as funny and outrageous as the creators intended it to be. FINAL VERDICT For this game as a loyal south park fan I would rate this at a 9/10 Next up is MAFIA II The game is set in the late 1940s - early 1950s era of Empire Bay, a fictional city based on New York City,Chicago,Boston and Detroit. The storyline for Mafia II is a gritty drama and chronicles the rise of Vito Scaletta, the son of Sicilian immigrants. As the game progresses, Vito joins the Falcone crime family and becomes "a made man" along with his best friend Joe Barbaro. Source: Mafia 2 Wiki [MY OPINION] To be completely honest and forward I loved this game, it was dark gritty and the entire time I didn't know what direction the plot was going to take. I really only have one small complaint about this game and that is that the AI's(especially the police) arent the smartest out there but then again this game was made back in 2010 FINAL VERDICT I would rate this game a 9.5/10 Last but not least is Max Payne 3 In Max Payne 3, the player controls Max Payne, a former NYPD detective who had became a vigilante after his wife and daughter were brutally murdered. Nine years after the events of the second game, Max meets Raul Passos, who gets him the job as a private security contractor in Brazil. He quickly finds himself constantly encountering difficult situations, which leads him on a search for the culprits of deaths and betrayals. Source: Max Payne 3 Wikipedia [MY OPINION] This game was actually alot of fun. I played throught it on the Medium difficulty and it presented quite a challenge there are a total of 5 difficulties for this game Easy,Medium Hard Hardcore and Old School The Story is 19 Chapters long split into Part 1 2 and 3 on two disks I honestly didnt think there was anything wrong with this game aside from the fact that you will see alot of flashing and moving images on screen that are not part of the cut scene its self but are a part of the game they get kind of annoying well that and Im not too keen on the dual disk thing that alot of companies have been doing but thats besides the point FINAL VERDICT I would rate this game a 8.5/10
