Guild Wars 2 FULL MULTILANG

Guild Wars 2 is a paradise for explorers and thrill-seekers alike, and the best online role-playing game in years.

The Good

  • Fluid movement and combat are consistently entertaining  
  • Rethinks genre tropes in ways that keep you exploring  
  • Exciting player-versus-player battlefields  
  • Flexible skill system lets you adjust your play style  
  • Beautiful visuals with a painterly flair.

The Bad

  • Does a mediocre job of explaining important concepts  
  • Some lingering technical issues and other annoyances.
The world of Tyria, as imagined in the massively multiplayer Guild Wars 2, is an endlessly intriguing place, stuffed with mystery and adventure, gifting you with gorgeous sights and personal stories that etch themselves into your memory. These are the kinds of stories you tell for months to come--and they arise from your own spontaneous experiences. There's the one about how you and your guildmates emerged from chilly waters into an ominous thunderstorm, captured a tower from the enemy, and escaped from a roaring crowd of necromancers and rangers before they could deliver you to the devil. Then there's the one where a giant lightning-breathing dragon landed in a dark-misted field, and you joined a legion of soldiers to cleanse the land of its blight. Guild Wars 2 strips away the traditional game of "follow the waypoint," allowing you to feel like part of a vast living landscape rather than the tool of a thousand and one taskmasters.

FTL: Faster Than Light FULL MULTILANG


Thrilling combat and strategic depth make indie space sim Faster Than Light a hit.

The Good

  • Strategically rewarding gameplay makes you feel like a starship captain  
  • Fast-paced campaign loaded with tense combat  
  • Many hours of enjoyable spacefaring adventure for just $10.

The Bad

  • Lacking in encounter variety.
Faster Than Light might not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid. This spaceship simulation may look like something from the golden age of 16-bit gaming, but it offers a good deal of fun and depth. Unlike space sims that make you feel like you've had your head jammed in a Jefferies tube during an ion storm (if we can mix sci-fi franchises for a moment), this lighter entry in the genre combines an endearing retro feel and an even more endearing $10 price tag with gripping gameplay packed with tough choices and frenetic combat.

Closure FULL MULTILANG



Closure introduces intriguing puzzle-solving mechanics in an oppressive world, creating a cerebral and moody adventure.

The Good

  • Imaginative light/dark relationship  
  • A wide variety of clever puzzles  
  • Smooth difficulty curve  
  • Well-realized aesthetics.

The Bad

  • Small control issues.
Unimaginable horrors hide in the darkness. Is there a monster lurking just out of sight? Or maybe a deadly trap poised to cut you to shreds? In Closure, such conventional fears never surface. Rather, it's the darkness itself that poses the biggest threat. To step off the lightened path into the gaping, black abyss is to know death up close and personal. One misstep and you're swallowed whole. The rules defy the very basics of reality, opening the door for a diverse assortment of puzzling rooms that leave you gasping at their sheer inventiveness. Death greets you when light fades away, and it's through this dynamic that Closure establishes itself as a smart and perplexing puzzler.

F1 2012 FULL MULTILANG


Thrilling racing and a friendlier approach to newcomers make F1 2012 the best entry in the series yet.

The Good

  • Thrilling and believable racing  
  • Approachable for newcomers  
  • Additional game modes create a more complete F1 package  
  • Wonderful audio design.

The Bad

  • Off-track action is dull  
  • No Grand Prix mode.
Codemasters' third Formula One game sees the series finally find its feet. A broader range of game modes gives you much more to do, while great care has been taken to ease newcomers into the game. Though F1 2012 doesn't capture the magic that surrounds the sport, the on-circuit action is the best and most exciting of the series. You'll be holding your breath as you sweep around the majestic corners of world-renowned circuits, cursing as opponents swerve past you, and punching the air as you reach the chequered flag for months to come.

Shad'O FULL MULTILANG


Beautiful graphics and an interesting plot elevate Shad'O above its tower defense ilk.

The Good

  • Solid tower defense gameplay  
  • Aesthetically pleasing  
  • Good storyline told in an interesting way.

The Bad

  • Lacks hotkeys  
  • Poor translation from French.
Shad'O is a game of hints and allusions, a game where you're never sure what's going on or what's coming up. The story of Shad'O is revealed in little snippets upon completion of a level; nothing is made too clear right away, because this game is all about revealing (or, more accurately, protecting) memories in the mind of a little boy. As you progress, more and more is revealed about the boy's story, what happened to his memory, and who he actually is. In a small way, it's quite compelling, like an After School Special with tower defense gameplay thrown in.
