Raging Toxic Labs Gaming

Space Pirates and Zombies

An easy-to-grasp, funny, short and plain entertaining space shooter. Some parts of the game are too much about grinding until you can afford a ship that can deal with your foes, but that was to be expected. Really nice indie title.
Rating: 7/10


Football Manager 2010

For me, since I love football, FM is the kind of game that keeps you awake the whole night because you "just want to finish the season". Lots of tactical depth here compared to the Electronic Arts counterpart.
Rating: 9/10

SHIFT 2 Unleashed

A great racing game that would have been even better if it was less "arcadey" and had proper wheel support out-of-the-box. With mods, it is nearly on par with Forza.
Rating: 7/10 (8/10 with mods)

Fallout 2

I always had a soft spot for the old Fallout games, thus I decided to play Fallout 2 again, this time with the "restoration project" patch which adds lots of features to the game that were meant to be in it from the beginning. Fallout 2  is brilliant. Everything in the world feels right. In every place you can feel that it is a setting that makes you fight hard for your right to live and has some nasty surprises for you. Also this means that the difficulty is mind-crushingly hard if you are not used to these kind of old RPGs.

Empire: Total War

A game I tried to like because of the tactical depth, but can't do so since it feels sterile and plays like a mass chess simulator.
Rating: 4/10

Battlefield 3

This was a surprise to me. BF3 played nothing like BF2 and was still a great game. The non-stop grind to unlock the next class or weapon upgrade, however, sucked.
Rating: 7/10

The Witcher: Enhanced Edition

A refreshingly different kind of RPG. Geralt is a cool guy and the whole roleplaying part of the game is very believable, including the point where he tries to pick up every lady in town. The combat system in this game is a bit of a mixed bag and you will love it or hate it or both, also depending on the combat talents you pick up.
Rating: 8/10

Crayon Physics Deluxe

Just a nice little game based off a cool idea. Perfect game for kids, too!
Rating: 6/10

Revenge of the Titans

A tower defense game, with the twist that your enemies will not blindly follow some path but just attack your towers if you are building too close. Probably the best Java game (there, I said it) I ever played.
Rating: 7/10

Mass Effect

Underwhelming, both as an RPG as well as a shooter. Every little thing in the game world felt so long, disconnected and strange. Not in a thrilling way, though. The exaggerated depth of field in every other scene nearly killed my eyes. This is a perfect example of a game that you should play before you read any reviews.
Rating: 3/10

Global Agenda

A decent MMORPG I started playing with my brother, but stopped after a couple of hours because there was little to do but grinding levels. Nice combat system, though.
Rating: 5/10

Test Drive Unlimited 2
I had high hopes for it. While TDU1 was a great game with stunning wheel support, TDU2 was a joke of a game without any real wheel support. Instead of car physics, it had features like an "in-game casino" and "build your own house". No joke. Here, I learned the hard way to never pre-order a game again.
Rating: 2/10

Defense Grid: The Awakening
One of the best tower defense games I played so far.
Rating: 9/10

Tropico 3
A solid city-(on-an-island)-builder with a great sense of humor. Becomes a bit repetitive after some play-throughs.
Rating: 6/10

Mother 3
If you read this, you probably do not know this game. And if you know this game, you know by heart that it is a god damn masterpiece.
