Highly Recommended, But Know What You're Getting Into 0
(Please note that this review only covers the single-player portion of the game, on PC. The game also includes co-op missions and a competitive mode)The original Sniper Elite was not a game for everyone. Even on the lower difficulty settings it was quite willing to punish small mistakes, and the pace that you had to play it at was just above glacial.

And yet, with the games bizarre hist...

An add-on that completely misses the point 0
Heavy Rain's main strength was the breadth of its story and the time that you spent getting to know the characters. This little bit of DLC has none of that, and is instead a 15 minute sequence featuring Madison's investigation of someone that she suspects of being the Origami Killer. She does this by entering his house and poking her nose where he would rather it wasn't. It manages to pull off a strong atmosphere of its own (a few disturbing and panic-inducing moments) but it feels like it is tr...
