Gameplay - The game itself, what you do, what you cannot do, what you are supposed to do.
Difficulty - How hard is the game to learn? 1- You will never learn everything. 10- Anybody can master it, over time.
Multiplayer - How fun is multiplayer? How much of the game is not available in multiplayer?
Atmosphere - Do you feel like you're THERE?
Audio - The sounds of the game. Quality and originality.
Visuals - Is it pwettty to look at?
Big Plus - Game's best attribute.
Big Minus - Game's worst attribute.
Finished it? - This only counts for me, so if my brother finished it, it'll still be on No. Heh.
The Sims 2 - Manage a family from early in the morning till they go to bed at night, for as long as they live! Get a job! Get fired! Get shagged! Get married! (Not necessarily in that order.) Lots of freedom in the game, has a couple of nice realism checks. You have to play this game 24/7 to get bored of it. I'm not bored .... yet ....

Command & Conquer Generals - Zero Hour - China has become seriously powerful. Their defence capabilities are still unmatched, and their new offensive units can clear any map with ease. GLA defence sucks donkey doughnuts. I have pretty much stopped playing GLA. USA is pretty cool though, new toys! :-)

Need For Speed - Underground 2 - VROOOOOOOOM! (tss) VRROOOOOOOOOM (tss) (VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! Damn I love this game .... They made the whole world roaming, so you can just take your car and drive around the city as long as you want. There are other racers driving around as well, and you can dice any of them by tailing them and hitting Enter, then the race is on. Still has the normal racing from NFSU1, but you have to drive to the shops to install parts. It has a nice GPS feature though, so it's not a major shlep to reach shops. Wicked cool game.

Painkiller - You died. You are stuck between Heaven and Hell, and have agreed to assassinate four of Lucifer's generals for admission into Heaven, where your girlfriend back on Earth is already. It's not that complicated, it's just you, a couple of weapons, and a whole HOST of monsters. A nice extra bonus, if you collect enough souls from killing monsters, you shift into Demon Form for a minute or so, during which time anything you click at simply dies.

Commandos 2 - Command a squad of elite soldiers during WW2. Infiltrate enemy bases and silently take out sentries, guards, etc. Or go guns-a-blazing and shoot your way through. (The silent approach works way better, heh.)

Battlefield 1942 - Road to Rome - You are a soldier in WW2. You can choose to be a scout (sniper), assault, anti-tank, medic or engineer. The aim is to capture and hold control points on the map to make your opponents' score count down to 0, at which point you win. If it's a vehicle, you can drive it :-) Airplanes, landing boats, destroyers, carriers, tanks, flak guns, mobile flak guns, artillery, whatever.

Homeworld Cataclysm - Finished this game in about two days after getting it again, a little faster than last time because I remembered all the little tricks involved in the maps (which I had to learn the hard way last time I had the game) Multiplayer is lotsa fun with this game. I usually play Beast while my buddy plays Somtaaw. He points a siege cannon at somebody, then I hyperspace in and use my infect beam on the poor soul's mothership. Because a mothership cannot be infected, the beam causes intense damage. 5 Heavy Cruisers can take out an escort-less mothership in under 20 seconds.

Command & Conquer Generals - USA kicks ass here. However I like the GLA's weapon-scavenging concept. I also tend to end up with so many money-generating things that I can't build tanks fast enough. Taking out the enemy is usually a couple double clicks and an attack move. Then I go back to training another army. (If he actually stopped the 60 or so units.)

Hidden and Dangerous II - Sneak-around game also set in WW2. Four troopers, choose the equipment, go out and do a couple missions, repeat. It's quite a challenge, you have to learn how to use your squad effectively. Can drive almost anything in this game too.

Star Wars Jedi Knight III - Jedi Academy - They let me fight with two lightsabers!
*passes out with a happy, dreamy expression on his face*
Finished with dual wielded sabers, damn that was fun.
Then I loaded an older savegame, chose "dualbladed saber" as my next weapon, and played from there through to finishing :-) Muchos fun. Buy this game!

Stronghold - Somewhat old game. You are in control of a castle and all its aspects. Feed the people, build defences, make weapons, recruit troops, kill rabbits. Mmmmmm. :-)

Empire Earth - Don't buy this game. Don't play it. Don't look at the CD cover if you can help it. Don't ever read about it again, unless it's a warning like this one. I'm not rating this game, it'd be embarrassing for the creators.
StarCraft - Zerg is the race to go! Terran can kiss my slimy carapace backside! I play Protoss now and again though, mainly for Zealot rushing on small maps. I had so much fun the other day ... me and a buddy were feeling lazy so we just played against one computer. We decided not to attack him and see if he could take one of us out eventually. This he did not succeed in doing. After a while I spent all my minerals on Zerglings, and stormed him. Lost two groups of 'lings, he lost three bases, quite fun. :-) Oh, I forgot to warn my buddy hahahaha.

Grand Theft Auto 3 - Finished it, but I love going for joyrides around the city. I've got 91 hidden packages now, only 9 to go till ALL WEAPONS for free for ever!! :-) I wish I knew where those other packages were ... the search is taking way too long... *Found all packages now, but I have NFSU2, so the whole "drive around freely" thing is no longer a big appeal.

Grand Theft Auto Vice City - Great improvement on GTA3, has bikes, planes and helicopters. Your mansion has a helipad on top which spawns a helicopter, and with me joining a pilot training program IRL to fly helicopters, this was wicked cool for me. :-)

Operation Flashpoint - Finished it, I don't think it has any replay value. I've decided to make a map or two for co-op multiplayer, but the mission editor is rather confusing. I'm slowly figuring parts of it out, if anybody out there knows more about making maps for this game PLEASE give me a shout. I get the impression that the folks who made this game had lots of great ideas, but unfortunately not too much experience in making games. Some of the gameplay issues are really frustrating.

Revolt - Race radio controlled cars against one another. Great fun, kinda hard to master control of the little cars. I seem to have downloaded a rather hacked version of Revolt, I have all the cars available to me. The Mystery car is by far the best, excellent handling, acceleration and top speed. The UFO, however, is by far the fastest, and the hardest to steer.

Star Wars Jedi Knight II - Jedi Outcast - WOOHOO I get to slash people with mah lightsaber, I get to Force Push them over cliff edges, I get to Dark Lightning others, I get to Force Speed my way outta ANYTHING. Damn I'm having so much fun .... I finished this today (16/10/2003) that end boss was quite hard till I figured him out :p You activate the two buttons on opposite sides of the cavern, then go park in the middle. You become immortal for about 20 seconds after standing in there. Then you just switch to aggressive stance, activate Jedi Speed and WHACK that reptile.

Championship Bass - Catch fish without going outside! Well the game is kinda old, but I lost my saved games and I wanted to show a friend of mine a certain lure the other day, so now I'm playing the game again until I find that particular bonus lure. Yes, I am THAT bored. Well I got that lure again, and now I'm having so much fun I'm continuing to play it hehe.

Counter Strike - ("Hi I'm Pieter and I'm a sniper ...") If I'm not sniping you can find me with an AK47 or a M4A1 in hand. If you use these guns correctly they are the deadliest in the game. The power in them are only matched by a shotgun on close range. However nothing comes close to the Arctic sniper rifle. We just call it the Elephant Gun.

Freelancer - Finished it, but I've decided to go back and fix my reputation. Trouble is, everywhere I go, people already know who I am, and start attacking if they are in the appropriate faction. I don't want to be a Corsair (pirate clan) anymore :p *Update* got bored, game currently just sitting on my PC. *Update* Game no longer on PC.

Red Alert II - Playing against 1 Brutal computer is way too easy for Great Britain (sniper bunnies). So I'm currently expanding to 2 and 3 computers while playing something crap like America. (No offence to IRL Americans. America's special is paratroopers, which most maps have ANYWAY.)

Morrowind - Wow, they made a game in which you can do anything you damn well please. You can be a spellcaster with some estates in his name, you can be a freelancing merc who kills for a living. You can be a Vampire out to slay mankind, you can be ... anything. However since it takes so damn long to get anything done, and the fact that the largest city in the game is built like a maze, I don't like it anymore. Vivec is so damn confusing, I don't know what the programmers were thinking.

Homeworld - Fully 3D space RTS. I had this a while back but decided to get it again. Currently I'm pissed at the game for not giving me enough technology to research by the time I encounter the enemy. My most advanced unit: assault frigate. Most advanced enemy unit: Carrier, Destroyer. This is sooo unfair. I sent two waves in there and they were ripped apart. This game has a chance of getting benched. Also it seems the support frigates are busted, they don't actually repair ships, they just hang around them.
