Homefront(PC) by kmv_007 on March 27, 2011

I don't normally purchase games day one, nevermind at full price.  However, I've had my eye on Homefront since I first heard about it - I've really wanted a game to explore the possibility of an invasion of the US.  I still would love to see Heartland be made, and Homefront sounded just up that alley.    What a letdown.  I told myself several times: calm down, this is Kaos, Frontlines was buggy and a similar disappointment, just let it go on sale on Steam.  But I didn't listen, and I was done 6 ...

Red Dead Redemption(Xbox 360) by kmv_007 on June 03, 2010

Darkstar One(PC) by kmv_007 on May 16, 2010

I'm slightly surprised that more space sim games aren't released - yes it's a small market, but there is so little competition that every game is seen in at least a semi-positive light.  DarkStar One is a prime example - I picked it up two days after it's release, hoping for a prettier Freelancer.  It impressed me, even if I couldn't max out all the graphics settings.   The combat is very similar to Freelancer, which is a good thing in my book.  The ship upgrade system was different - I p...
