Spec Ops: The Line

[The Metamorphosing Leon]

2/13 - GTA Liberty City Stories: Ballad of Gay Tony - PC - Way more fun than the motorcycle gang one. Some good difficult missions toward the end (granted that my questionable grenade handling abilities had something to do with this difficulty). 8/10

3/17 - Serious Sam II - PC - Played through Co-op with the roomies. Solid shooter, fun to coop except for vehicle sections where they don't spawn enough vehicles. 7/10

3/27 - Lucius - PC - Pretty interesting little indie game. Lacked the polish to make it great but the story was interesting and I loved the unabashed adult themes. The gameplay, while ultimately linear, felt very open ended while also being very tight, if that makes any sense. 8/10

4/7 - Bioshock: Infinite - PC - Think I've blabbed about it enough. Great game. 10/10

6/10 - Kingdom Rush - iOS - Solid tower defense game that translates very well to touch screen. Lots of content and not too much begging for you to make in app purchases. 8/10

6/22 - Kingdom Rush: Frontiers - iOS - Essentially the same game as above, just with new towers and new enemies. Main campaign was a little more difficult until you leveled your heroes and got enough point buffs. 8/10

8/17 - X-Com: Enemy Unknown - iOS - Beat on normal. Game transfers wonderfully to iOS, only losing a bit graphically. Some issues with game crashing if you have too much save data, but good autosave feature helps ease this. Most obnoxious thing it the freaking thirty second intro movie playing every time. I assume the game is loading during it, but at the same time it seems like they could have left it out and kept the game smaller. 10/10 gameplay, 6/10 on the port

8/22 - Assassin's Creed III - PC - A sprawling, engrossing, and thoroughly disappointing experience. 6/10

9/4 - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Arcade - Played through with three friends and about sixty continues apiece. Same ol' game. 6/10 (NOSTALGIA SCORE 10/10)

9/4 - Silent Scope - Arcade - I'd always seen this game and thought it looked cool but never wanted to spend the money on it. Got to play through the whole thing. Not bad, though I don't know how you would ever beat it without unlimited plays. Had to love the boss at the end who was a chick wearing spandex. 7-10

10/28 - Leisure Suit Larry: Reloaded - PC - A disturbingly unoriginal modernization of the old point and clicker. Used a walkthrough because I just wanted to see the sights. Pretty meh. 4/10

11/24 - Max Payne 3 - PC - Played through for the November Community Playthrough. Loved it. 9/10

11/25 - Duke Nukem Forever - PC - If this game had come out in its final form before Half-Life, it would have blown our minds. Instead it's just a fairly generic shooter with the occasional boob. 5/10
