9.0/10

All things considered, neither the weakish post-frenzy war AI nor the hard to get into interface detract from the game’s magnificence. The AI can be forgiven because there’s so much to do that giving you a breather from constant war pressure is almost a blessing and, after a few hours, the interface won’t bother you at all. A few small bugs aside, the game is rock solid too so it scores points in that area as well. Read more
- Deep, engaging gameplay that will keep you playing right into the wee hours of the night.
- Interface will take getting used to.

The best game yet in the series highlights why Anno ain't for everyone. Read more
- Pretty much perfects the supply-chain RTS; tons of content; "ergonomic" GUI makes figuring out what to do easy
- Too much waiting around; doesn't do much to broaden its fan base; poor voice acting

Although its title places it almost 60 years in the future, Anno 2070 is very much a game for our present historical moment. Read more

Saints Row 2 is a very fun game, providing some great and memorable moments by either fulfilling the main story or by taking part in various activities throughout the game. While the graphics and the occasional bugs tend to appear from time to time, the game makes up for it by the sheer amount of fun you can have while playing it. If you don't own it, then this is a definite must buy as it will surely help you relax by having some mindless fun after a hard day. Read more
- Really fun, A lot of interesting minigames, A lot of customization options
- Bad PC port, Stupid AI, A few glitches

Anno 2070 with its fun single player, custom game modes and great multiplayer is a perfect entry point to the Anno series of games. Read more

If this game was purely a shooter, it would fail miserably! The graphics are not pretty and the simplistic combat is even worse. Fortunately for the development and production team, the game does capture a sense of mayhem and carnage that will undoubtedly find favor with its intended audience. But if you're looking for a more cerebral or skillful challenge, you may have to look elsewhere. This game is little more than a lowbrow, yet humorous, thug-life simulator. Read more

Saints Row 2 is set years after the original in a Stilwater that is both familiar and strange. The explosive events of the last chapter has left your character wounded, betrayed, and thirsty for revenge, and after a long coma induced sleep it's time to take back the city that has forgotten you. As a sequel, Saints Row 2 features all new customization options and a much larger city. Read more

In short: stay far away from this PC version. If you're interested in the game itself then it's better to opt for the console version. Read more
- Fun is primary objective, Co-op
- Bad PC port, No depth, Mandatory Steam installation

Saints Row 2 inevitably gets compared with Grand Theft Auto IV and, up to a point, that is not the right thing to do: indeed, Saints Row 2 is a sandbox game which “borrows” many concepts from Rockstar’s franchise, but it has a completely different approach to the genre. If GTA IV “keeps it real” and tries to eliminate the arcade element as much as possible, Saints Row 2 goes the other way around, getting as far away from reality as possible, opting for puerile...

The Saints Row franchise has unfortunately lived under the microscope as a one-off of the famed Grand Theft Auto series of games. However, the comparison is unfair, because as we have come to find out, … Read more
