Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne
Taking a step forward deep into the chaotic endless black desert of insanity.
Max Payne 2 eventhough it stands on common ground it really has many differences from its predecessor.
Something that made the hard core fans of the first game not like it too much at first.
However for me Max Payne 2 really stands out of the library and into my golden list of masterpieces and on the throne with the rest of my most fav titles ever.
The game has obvious graphical advancements engine-wise, physics-wise, texture-wise and gameplay-wise.

–—DISCLAIMER FOR WIN8/WIN8.1/WIN10 USERS——
I had several Problems with this game on Windows 10, but after some research, it runs fine on Windows 10.
1. Run in Compatibility mode (Windows XP)
2. Rename the install Folder to smth without spaces like: “MaxPayne2”
3. Then in your steamapps folder find appmanifest_12150 and edit the install dir line to match your renamed folder (you might have to close Steam to do this or restart Steam)
4. Disable Steam Overlay for this game
5. Make sure everything stays the same after Steam restart - sometimes Steam changes stuff back

Max Payne
I was never a big fan of shooter games… that is until Max Payne. A long time ago, I used to suck at this - so I chickened out of such games. This game changed that, probably because I got into the story and kept trying harder to get to the end. Still, the only two games of this nature that have interested me are Rainbow Six and Max Payne.
The “R” rating for this game needs to be taken extremely seriously. Although they show Max Payne (player) being holed up in an impossible situation (thus what he does can probably be viewed as ethical), he is required to get out of a violent battle between mafia groups and politicians. There are also a lot of drug and sex references in the game. Obviously, not a game for kids in my opinion. On the other hand, kids these days are not all that innocent - thanks internet, social media, and smartphones huh? So, I will say that a kid should be at least 15 or 16 years old to play this.

78/100
While I have greatly enjoyed beating this game multiple times throughout the years it is getting hard to recommend it now.
The main issue I have is I used three fixes to get the game to work and there was still no sound and got stuck on walls.

Dark Years
I’ve not finished this game yet but I bought it at 90% discount for 1,29 euro and 2 euros would be a fair price.
You will not get any professional production value except for the music and the pictures in the loading screen, but you will get a game where the making is all heart and the development seems to be driven by a single developer wanting to tell a story. I don’t know if the story in the game is any good yet, but the history about the 1953 Iranian coup d’état is something you should know about especially if you are in the West with knowledge about Iran only from your media.

This game is bad, it is really bad. Even one of the worst games I’ve ever played. It is so laughingly bad at some moments that is is funny again. You have to watch the youtube walkthrough of “someguy” while playing through it, it is tooo funny :P. I would not recommend this game for it’s full price, only recommend getting it in a bundle veery cheap. And then only to see what bad games do exist. You shouldn’t take it to seriously, you should play it while laughing over the bad game design, story telling etc. If you are searching for a game which is funny and you can laugh while playing, take it. But it is not funny because it is trying to be funny, no it wants to be serious, but you can’t hold back and laugh. So if you want to have a experience with a reeeeally bad game which is again good because it is done sooo bad, take it watch the youtube video in which the gauy analyses the game which is veeery funny, almost like watching a comedy show ;) Hope I could help you with your decision of playing this game:D

Shining Hotel: Lost in Nowhere
Since I’ve opted to thumb this game up, I should start this review with a highly emphatic disclaimer, namely:
DO NOT BUY THIS GAME AT FULL PRICE, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. I bought it in a pack with another game for a smidgen under ten dollars, and it was still FAR TOO MUCH. This game is very, VERY short (twenty minutes, tops), and worth maybe two bucks at best. That said: I’ve never thumbed a game down purely on the basis of its price, and I’m not about to start here. You have, however, been warned. On with the review, then…

nice experience, good story.. but very bad gameplay!
what is horror to these developers? seriously, is this even scary?
it’s more than a walking simulator!
I’m ok with the game length that everybody’s complaining about, but it’s not horror at all
it doesn’t worth this amount of money..
I’m sorry, but this is the truth

That game was made before I was born and yet it still entertain me. It’s amazing how much fun can be packed in that 30MB. I must admit that graphics hurts my eyes comparing to modern games but this game really makes up for that with gameplay.
Lots of locations which You can visit in open-world manner, roaming West Coast in a flight simulator. Every location come with map to search for clues and evidence or memorable and distinctive character. Some of them will cooperate. And some won’t.
Also, I’ve really liked that I had to write my questions. Nothing was given to me on the silver plate. It gives lots of satisfaction when all of the clues start to make sense. And if You find Yourself stuck, after looking everywhere and asking everyone (and believe me, You are wrong if You think so) You may always ask Your informator. For a price of course.
