Passable, with some annoying features like AI soldiers that can blindly shoot you through canvas tents with deadly accurately.
 
This is on the level of SimCity 2000 in complexity but on a building level. You manage the commercial, residential, and hotel sections - dealing with elevators and maids rather than roads and police/fire. Your worst enemy is a cockroach infestation!
 
I had hours of fun on this one - upgrading to newer and better copters, putting out fires, chasing down criminals
 
Graphically an improvement over SimCity 2000, but I felt like this title gave you too much control of city elements - to the point where it was overwhelmingly complex.
 
Graduating from the 2D SimCity - this is a great sequel - giving you isometric graphics, the ability to terraform the terrain, and subways, stadiums, and other special buildings. Excellent game, hours of fun
 
Top-down 2D city building fun - all the main elements you need to build and manage a city
 
The concept seems cool and the graphics are acceptable, but the tutorial is buggy. The players are also nearly unkillable, unlike the Unreal Tournament 2003 Bombing Run where you can frag opponents. The only benefit over UT is you don't auto-pickup the ball
 
I like seeing a FPS-based MMO, but this game takes a page from World of Warcraft - quite a lot of grinding and repeated maps. Exiting the beginner area overwhelms the player with quests and vendors, and the city is just a glorified lobby - no world PvP.
 
I wanted to love this game, but found it hard to get into because it requires team effort (mainly a healer at your back) or you die exceptionally fast. Unlike Unreal Tournament or Counter-Strike: Source where you can easily play a quick lone wolf match
 
A point and click with an ethereal feel, but not as high quality as Machinarium. It's fairly easy to get stuck, and there isn't a hint button - which leaves you hunting for random clickable items.
 
A nice twist on the classic arcade top-down shooter. Similar mechanics of power-ups, but with complicated maps, mission objectives, and the ability to move in any direction. This is retro done right - worth playing.
 
While this is a much cleaner game than And Yet It Moves, I am left wishing for better control granularity. In certain areas a mouse control scheme would reduce the number of deaths immensely. Luckily the checkpoints are frequent and lives unlimited
 
Fairly easy on default, yet nearly impossible to win without using the chooser or combatant modifier - since it often gives you a poor selection of mercenaries. The balance could use a bit of work, since chooser lets you faceroll - but overall fun.
 
I love the concept of flying ships with flails and hammers doing battle - but having to constantly rotate my mouse to swing my hammer is tiring at best. Theres also a ton of unnecessary text/story when the gameplay speaks for itself.
 
The concept is interesting but the puzzles are super simple - though you can get extra stars (points) by finishing them in overly-complex ways. Would have been cooler if drawing shapes spawned objects like in Trine (with more variety)
