Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening PC Game Reviews

Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening

Since Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening is an expansion instead of a full-blown sequel it’s not quite as lengthy or epic as the original game. However, it’s still a great game with plenty to offer RPG fans. The new party members are just as good as the original ones and the inclusion of new class specializations, spells and abilities also make the combat more interesting. If you were a fan of Origins, then you won’t want to miss out on Awakening.

Gameplay: More of the same compared to Origins, but still fun.

Graphics: The visuals are still good, albeit very bloody.

Sound: Good music, sound effects, and voice acting

The Witcher: Enhanced Edition Director’s Cut PC Game Reviews

The Witcher: Enhanced Edition Director’s Cut

The Witcher is a huge game with plenty to see and do, but there’s also plenty of padding and tedium to wade through in the process. It features an interesting protagonist and the dark fantasy setting makes for a nice change of pace. The “Enhanced Edition” updates a lot of things in the original release that was lacking, such as the animations and writing, but it is still far from perfect. Still, those who have the patience to put up with its quirks will enjoy the experience.

Gameplay: Does things a little differently from traditional action RPGs, but it is still fun despite some tedium.

Graphics: Some of the visual elements look great, but some of the character models still look downright ugly.

Sound: The soundtrack is very good, but the voice acting is a mixed bag

Bound By Flame PC Game Reviews

Bound By Flame

Bound By Flame is a very ambitious attempt from an indie developer to deliver a AAA experience, but it doesn’t always succeed. The story is interesting despite some clichés and the combat very rewarding, although it can get tough. The game is also quite linear with maze-like levels, but there are plenty of side quests to keep you busy. There is a lot that I can fault about Bound By Flame, but I did enjoy completing the game and would definitely love to see a sequel that addresses the problems.

Gameplay: Not much exploration, but the combat is challenging and enjoyable.

Graphics: Great monster designs and some impressive areas, but plenty of repetition.

Sound: The music is good, but the voice acting is a bit uneven

Eye Of The Beholder 2: The Legend Of Darkmoon

While at fist glance EOB2 might just seem like more of the original quite a few features have been added which makes this game more entertaining and more involving. As always though it’s hellishly though and you’ll need quick reflexes and plenty of brainpower to crack this one.

Gameplay: Immensly frusrating at times but very addictive and rewarding.

Graphics: Good but not that much better than part one.

Sound: Still not much in the way of music but the sound effects are ok

Eye Of The Beholder PC Game Reviews

Eye Of The Beholder

As far as classic DOS era First Person Role Playing Games go you can do a lot worse than this AD&D effort. It doesn’t hold your hand and isn’t afraid to put up a stiff challenge, but overall it aged well and still offers hours of enjoyment.

Gameplay: Challenging but also entertaining and addictive.

Graphics: All things considered, not bad.

Sound: Very limited music and feeble sound effects
