Saints Row 2
This is still a great game even when put up current gen stuff. I love it because the voice acting is excellent and it captures the feel of classic GTA3 oh so well. Even though this port has a problem with periodic “random” crashes, it’s still worth playing. Also, you really, really should bother to install the Gentlemen of the Row mod; it is worth the trouble for the quality of life adjustments alone.
I wanted to play this because I loved Saints Row 3 & 4 and Gat out of Hell. I knew it would be different, and more like GTA than the others but I wanted to try it anyway. I’m glad I did. It’s now my second favorite in the series after #4. I am looking forward to playing it again when the “MEGA Patch” is eventually released.

Saints Row 2, man where do i start.. Its a really good game but id recommend something since this thing doesn’t have achievements: cheats, use them all the time and i recommend installing Gentlemen of the row to put modification of the game called ,,Ultor Rising'' where, you are the law and try to stop all the gangs, if your looking for something extra in the ultor rising mod, the nuclear power plant is the place of fun.
But yes Honest review of the base game without mods is a 9/10 for me.
Only issue was frame drops nothing else so yeah very good game.

SkateBIRD
EDIT: I have yet to try the patch out, but seeing that they put one out so quickly makes me much more hopeful for this games future. Additionally, once you manage to get past the first ~4 missions, it is a pretty fun and very cute game. I’m really looking forward to trying it out with the patch.
–————————————————–
I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY want to like this game. I’ve been super excited for its release, and was THRILLED when I saw it was out! But I’m pretty disappointed so far. The character select is adorable and I love it so much. But the game itself is incredibly frustrating. Every time you crash into something, the camera gets stuck when you get back on the board so you can’t easily turn away from what you just crashed into. This and other issues make it WAY too difficult to complete the first few missions because you spend so much time trying to work around the awkward controls and camera bugs. The first missions at least should be easier. I can’t get into it when I can’t accomplish anything from the very start. I really hope the developers will do something about this.

SkateBird is a very interesting game, both in the idea and final product. A game where you play as a bird that skates around on a tiny skateboard across 5 open levels where you take missions from other birds to advance the story. Really speaks for itself, but it is at least very cute in how it’s all executed. I enjoyed the game myself as someone who loves birds and likes skateboarding games in general like Tony Hawk. Though a game like this isn’t near the same quality as say Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and or 4, but I still have to give credit where credit is due, there are plenty of settings to change how you prefer to play, with adjustments on skating speed, handling, braking, etc. There are also plenty of bird skins to choose from, they even had one of a “Quaker Parrot” skin, which I own as a pet, so I how could I NOT say no to that. :3

The Sims™ 3
As much as I love this game for nostalgic reasons, I can’t recommend getting it on Steam if you get it at all.
EA seems committed to screwing over Steam players, like they didn’t put it for sale on Steam in the first place. They don’t offer patches for the Steam version anymore, which means that unless you jerry-rig your installation to use an aftermarket patch, you can’t use any content you PAID FOR on the Sims 3 Exchange.

This game is hands down the best game there is. I recommend it 100%. It has so many details and so many things you can do. This game is a blast and is my favorite sims game. This is totally worth purchasing. The base game it’s self has so many things to do, and it is so much fun.

Warbox
As of right now, I just installed the 0.0.2.3 version and have not played it yet.
Four hours in, can I recommend the game? Yeah. It has a low price, and it is filled to the brim with potential in my eyes.
I can see the workshop being used a lot for this game, and if given enough freedom and creativity, I can see some really awesome things coming from this game.
However right now, all the jokes you see about having low frames is true. Game lags hard. Especially when you’re doing what you’d want to do in this game; make battle scenarios and play. It honestly is pretty bad. But this game is still very early in its development, so I can imagine a performance patch will be in the works.

This is a great game but it can be even greater there are a few things that need to be fixed and alot to be added the creators need to fix the healing system as when ur controlling a character u can not heal it and when ur not controling a character u can not heal it so. With the maps the comands and flags need to be fixed. If u want this to be a great game creators u need to add multiplayer, melee, more maps, a steam workshop, being able to go prone, more missions even a campain, more styles guns ect, and u need to add more comands like to make charecters fly and every enemy player to target one man and if a player kills there teamates than the whole team should kill the traitor. I understand this game is in its beta and for its beta its amazing this game could become one of the best games ever just depands on what the creators do with it. All together definetly recomend this game.

In Blockbuster Inc. you will take total control of your very own movie studio. You will be able to construct all the facilities, hire and manage all sorts of employees and stars with the aim to produce the most prolific films and Tv. There are 3 pillars of the gameplay:
Freeform construction system
An intuitive and deep construction system allows you to plan, build, decorate, clone and expand your studio with ease. Further link your road system, landscape the lot and create a smooth utility system to get the best out of your employees.

Staxel
I really want to like Staxel. I know I could love it. But, it’s an agonisingly frustrating experience to play. I don’t feel I’m exaggerating when I say most, if not all, of the game’s content is a good idea implemented in the worst possible way.
Every time I want to do something, I run into a frustration that doesn’t need to be there. There isn’t one major issue. Everything is wrapped up in so many minor issues it’s almost worse. I could deal with some singular huge flaw. But that’s not it. It’s just so universally flawed all over.

Let me start off by saying that Steam really needs to consider a 3rd option when recommending games to people. This game is fun, and I kind of enjoy playing it, but there are some major things (imo) that warrant a “do not recommend” review, or rather a “recommend this game unless…”
Pros:
Graphics: 9/10
The graphics are cute and colorful and the 3D pixel character designs are fun. Some blocks' graphics glitch through other blocks which can sometimes ruin a certain look the player is trying to achieve with his/her build. There’s quite a large selection of blocks to use in your builds, and I’m sure through modding there are vastly more blocks to pick from. You can also rotate some blocks.
