Nice games apart from Mass Effect 3, Titanfall and Madden.
Nah I'm kidding we all have opinions heheh.

Mass Effect 3 was actually not that bad just had an ending that made me hate the game so much. Titanfall I just didn't like at all.

And as for Madden.. I'm not a sporty kinda guy haha. And I don't think they even sell it here in the UK?

Tomb Raider I defo agree with. Fantastic game. Black Ops was good, too. But Black Ops 2 was pretty lame and 3 looks like AW 2. Eh.

Games I've loved playing some years excluded!

I literally got addicted to the Aliens vs Predator game that was released on the Atari Jaguar Console System back in 1994, the game was freaking awesome I have no idea how many hours I had invested in it, you could play as a Colonial Marine, Predator, or Alien, it was 3 complete games in one, I loved It!

Aliens vs Predator 1999 (Original PC Release was the game that started me on PC gaming, got my first AGP VooDoo 3,000 graphics card and PCI Creative Sound Blaster Live soundcard)

Aliens vs Predator 2 and Primal Hunt (Was OK but I really didn't get into it like the others)

Aliens vs Predator 2010 (Great Game many hours invested)

Aliens Colonial Marines 2013 (If I had listened to the reviews I would have never bought the game, but I flat love it!)

Alien Isolation 2014 (A game I bought because of the reviews which turned out to be crap IMO!)

FarCry (The Original FarCry absolutely fantastic!, IMO 2 and 3 sucked!, Have not played 4)

Crysis (All of them including Warhead)

Bioshock 1 & 2 (Didn't care for 3)

Serious Sam and Serious Sam Second Encounter, (Serious Sam 2 kinda sucked!)

Serious Sam 3 BFE with the "Jewel of the Nile" DLC, and community content added! (Freaking Excellent! )

Deus EX Human Revolution, Directors Cut (Best Game I think I've Ever Played, I have over 500 hours invested in playing it! I've played it through so many times I've lost count.)

I'm sure I've forgotten some but these stand out!

Wow, Alien: Isolation is a game I really want. I think it looks great, but I shall have to see for myself

And I really freaking want Deus Ex Human Revolution, I've been told by so many people that it is a brilliant game... I've wanted it for more than a year now but have saved up for other games.

Not sure about Serious Sam, haven't tried any of them at all.

Nah I'm kidding we all have opinions heheh.

Mass Effect 3 was actually not that bad just had an ending that made me hate the game so much. Titanfall I just didn't like at all.

Tomb Raider I defo agree with. Fantastic game. Black Ops was good, too. But Black Ops 2 was pretty lame and 3 looks like AW 2. Eh.

Mass effect 3 story was just good. I must have beat it couple times and even the worst ending could not ruin that game for me.

Sport simulators are hard to compare to any other time of game. Madden 2007 introduce career mode for the first time and let you play as a single player with player progression, agent management and even sponsors. I played Madden more than twice as much as the next game that year.

Titanfall is game that most people either love or hate. The very first I ran it, I knew it was special. Trying to modify the fps shooter is very hard, but the addition of titans really justified the experience. It's not for everyone, but the competitive gamer will get the most out of that game. Thanks for the reply!

When it came to Alien Isolation I prefer just fighting it out not spending half the game cowering in a locker or closet avoiding the alien, if hiding and running for your life is your thing you'll probably love it!

Deus EX Human Revolution : Director Cut is a fantastic game, I promise you won't be disappointed with it, there are multiple ways you can play the game, with 4 game ending possibilities at the end that depend on the choices you make.

Serious Sam is old school run and gun and just plain fun, at one time Serious Sam Second Encounter had an online almost cult following and was a blast to play, but for today's graphics card capabilities one would want to get Serious Sam 3 BFE with the Jewel of the Nile DLC.

I've been told by so many people now that Deus Ex is great... Defo getting it. Just gotta save up some dosh. It's hard to buy games when you're a 14 year old haha, because I also want to reserve some money for Just Cause 3, Mirror's Edge 2 and Rise of the Tomb Raider (Yes, even though it is an XBONE exclusive for a little while)

For Serious Sam, I'm really not that bothered. Doesn't look like my cup of tea if I'm honest.

And hell yeah hiding and running are my kind of thing. Stealth games are just right for me. Hitman, Payday, stuff like that.

Then you'll absolutely love Alien Isolation, do you have a Steam account, because they run great game sales sometimes?

I've heard many contradicting opinions on Tomb Raider - what did you love about it? I'm considering buying it (its only £3 but what the hell).

Only started gaming recently so:

2011- Battlefield 3
2012- Far Cry 3
2013- GTA V / Metro Last Light
2014- Forza Horizon 2 (Not PC but still great game)
2015- Witcher 3 / The Forest

Erm... I'm a PC gamer. What PC gamer doesn't have a Steam account?
Of course I do, I have an account with hundreds of games lol

Well, if I could describe tomb raider 2013, it would be immersive. The game does a great job of hiddening hud elements and making the game feel like a interactive cut scene. The game story is great with the ability to be able to play it as stealth or aggressive as you please. For 3 euros, you don't have much to lose. I like the game so much I bought it twice.

As a matter of fact I did a quick review sort of thing not long ago if you wanna check it out.

Basically the game has points where you'll get fed up or confused but when you get through them it's so worth it. Lots of QTE's which is really the only bad part of the game.

Lots of impact, a very powerful story. You see Lara as a fragile, naive woman who becomes quite powerful.

Really great visuals. Best hair FX I've ever seen in any game.

It might sound dodgy, but it's one of those games. Its ones of those games that has plenty of flaws but is really enjoyable.
