If I ever wrote a book with a video game topic the title would be "1 Video Game You Must Play Before You Die" and Deadly Premonition would be the subject. In it you would find countless of analysis of the many citizens of Greenvale, a complete study of the main characters quirks and flaws, how to make your own Sinner's Sandwich and why you always should keep your suit pressed and clean.

Hell, I would probably end up writing a sequel. There is just so much going on in this game that one book simply couldn't content everything that needs to be said about Deadly Premonition.

There are lot of great games out there, but in my view there is only about 3 games that have ever gone far and beyond and pushed what a game really is capable of being. A game that changes the way you will look at games. A game that makes you realize what a fantastic medium games can be, if it's utilized for more than simply being another entertainment form to ultimately make you pass time. A game that ruins gaming.

Deadly Premonition is all that. It's impossible to describe exactly what it is that makes it such a fantastic game. Most people will only shake their heads and it's like trying to describe a miracle to people who never witnessed one.

I love this game. Great mechanics and ideas come together in this metroidvania styled adventure you don't want to miss. And the price is so ridiculously low it would be a shame to pass it up. Notice that the game is in Early Access, but the single player is all done, and it's mostly the co-op that is still being worked on.

Alright, it needs to be said, this is the best third person shooter of the generation. Great action setpieces with a fun cast in a story that proves itself to be a lot more interesting than you might imagine at first glance. A roller coaster of fun, not to be missed. A little bit more marketing from Sega and we might had have a sequel to look forward to. As it stands now, this is as memorable a shooter could possibly be.

Telltale and Daedalic could learn a lot from these guys. This is a fantastic adventure gem, not to be missed. Great for newcomers as well.
