He's Dreaming of Electric Sheep

HIGH: How Vincent finds out the antagonist's identity.

LOW: The cathedral bell won't stop ringing. EVER.

WTF: What the heck is the Stage 3 boss supposed to represent? No, wait, don't tell me.

Shadows of the Damned Review

More Boner Jokes than You Can Shake a Dick At

Shadows of the Damned Screenshot

HIGH The interplay between Garcia and Johnson is often quite hilarious. I loved these characters, despite their inherent cheesiness. Oh, and the Evil Dead homage level.

LOW Avoiding a recurring enemy who instantly kills you when she touches you. The game's controls make that far more challenging than it should be at certain points.

WTF Seriously, this whole game is one giant WTF?!? moment.

F.E.A.R. 3 Review

F3AR... Ftheer? Fthreer? Fatheear?

F.E.A.R. 3 Screenshot

HIGH: Fighting over bodies to possess in Soul King.

LOW: Being given a mech suit in a game where I am supposed to be frightened.

WTF: In this world, ghosts can be shot, have sex, and become pregnant. M'kay.

Knights Contract Second Opinion

This Room Looks Familiar

HIGH Ripping through Rapunzel with Maar's Lance.

LOW Finding out I lose auto-save data when I turn off my console.

WTF Climbing a ladder and climbing vines is the same animation.

Alice: Madness Returns Review

Bipolar

HIGH Fantastic art direction and a horrifically surreal tone.

LOW Breaking "crates" and tracking down meaningless collectibles? So '90s.

WTF Are players really supposed to be able to hear the hidden snouts oinking?

Hunted: The Demon's Forge Second Opinion

A Diamond in the Really, Really, Really Rough

Hunted: The Demon's Forge Screenshot

HIGH The easy, nonsexual relationship between the two main characters.

LOW Why is everything so damned unpolished?

WTF The randomness of how the game saves progress is hair-pulling.

Red Faction: Armageddon Review

Mars Bores

Red Faction: Armageddon Screenshot

HIGH Bringing a whole structure crashing down on a monster using the magnet gun.

LOW The monster didn't seem to notice it.

WTF Why am I doing so much work to protect force-fields and take out bridges when these creatures are constantly emerging from the solid rock?

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Review

Crowned Heads Will Roll

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Screenshot

HIGH: The death of an NPC I'd wanted to kill since the moment I met him.

LOW: The boss checkpoint that didn't give me a chance to use any potions when I died and respawned.

WTF: The absolute orgy of exposition at the end of the game.

Hunted: The Demon's Forge Review

They're Only in it for the Gold

Hunted: The Demon's Forge Screenshot

HIGH Setting up a combo attack with my partner that obliterates crowds of enemies.

LOW The Battle Charge + Enrage bug rendering Caddoc unable to attack until I reload.

WTF Deleting my clear file re-locks the unlockable content even though the Achievement shows I've already beaten the game?

L.A. Noire Second Opinion

The City of Angels... And Hairbrushes

L.A. Noire Screenshot

HIGH Accidentally stumbling upon a bloody knife in a trash can that was key to the case.

LOW Struggling to find a barely-visible cigarette in the neighbor's yard for a half hour.

WTF Why are there no dirty cars in L.A.?
