Papetura is a beautiful looking game with an atmospheric soundtrack it features some obscure puzzles to complete that at times had me scratching at what's left of my hair. I cannot fathom how some people have completed this game in less than 90 minutes unless they used a walkthrough which kinda defeats the object of playing. Running in at about 3 hours for me to complete I must be a thicko or maybe it’s just ‘cos I’m an old fart.
I highly recommend this game. Though it doesn’t have any re-playable value as you’ll get 100% of the achievements in a single play-through.

Having a lot of fun playing it in co-op but fairly confident due to my OP skills that I'd get absolutely destroyed in single player. My mate must be doing 90% of the work.

Torchlight 2 is a great game which I played a lot a few years ago, I would love to be able to play this game again with friends but the reset password and support pages are down.
Still a great game single player, looking forward to Torchlight Frontiers

Very good for getting a baseline benchmark for and understanding the benefits of overclocking your system.

This game has no UI, no map, no score, no health or deaths but what it does have is atmospheric music and sounds and gorgeous graphics. It doesn't matter if a game is photo-realistic, hyper stylized, or 2D black and white blocks, if the game is immersive and whilst playing you’re able to suspend disbelief then it succeeds.
ABZU is an absolute joy to play and as much fun swimming with dolphins and whales and exploring as collecting the shells and finding meditation statues.
Yes the “campaign” or storyline can be completed in 2 hours; but it is a game that can be replayed for the experience 10/10 from me.

"Rise and shine, Mister Freeman. Rise and... shine"

Half-Life and Half-Life 2 in their own ways are both two of the best PC games of all time; well until Half-Life 3 comes along :)

For a game that is already more than 10 years old the graphics stand-up well compared to modern titles.

Its a shooter, there are physics based puzzles and vehicle combat sections.

If you've never played HL2, or even if you did when it was first released there's never a better time to dive back into City 17. You will not be disappointed.

For me the original Day of the Tentacle (sometimes called Manic Mansion 2) was the best point and click adventure game of the 90's; with the second best being Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis or the Curse of Monkey Island, or wait Beneath a Steel Sky was great too.. man there were so many great games in the 90's.

Much of the plot and steps needed in the puzzles came flooding back as soon as I started playing, but for those not aware or familiar with the original should expect mind bending puzzles but a good and enjoyable time with a lot of laughs.
The game doesn't hold your hand like modern titles. You'll need to think on wild tangents.. How to get George Washington to cut down a kumkuat tree for you?.. of course paint it red, he likes cutting down cherry trees (apparently).

This remastered version of the game is faithful to the original even down to the playable version of Maniac Mansion hidden inside. I never completed the "enhanced" PC version of Maniac Mansion which I got for a birthday in the late 80's; but during my DotT playthough have finally completed it.

You could probably still find walkthroughs of the game online if needed and blast your way though the entire game in 2 hours. But I'd say stay clear of the walkthroughs unless you get completely stuck. It took me about 7 hours to complete DotT and Manic Mansion.

This trip down memory lane was easily worth the price of the game, but even for new players I would recommend it.

More fun than a jump-suit full of weasels. 9/10
