Dead Rising - 22.8.06

"This game is disgusting, it's brutal, it's funny, and it's your choice in how you want to play. I can't give it the highest rank because there are some serious flaws that detract from the experience, but anyone reading this with an X360 needs to at least rent it."

Perfect Dark Zero - 14.12.05

Perfect Dark Zero by dek

"In short Perfect Dark: Zero is a great game with some flaws, not a kill app but not a disappointment. If I were only buying one FPS this holiday season I'd choose it over CoD 2. Not the top of its class on all consoles, but certainly the 360."

RYL: Path of the Emperor Closed Beta - 28.1.05

Risk Your Life 2: Main Review
Risk Your Life 2: Second Review by Dave
Risk Your Life 2: First Impressions

"I give the game a 4 out of 5. It's not perfect, it's far from it as I viewed it in Closed Beta and the bug list grew larger every day from others accounts of the game. But that does not fault the creator. They are putting large amounts of time, and effort into making it right. I don’t think they will fail in this aspect because they have the gamers for input and guidance."

Grand Theft Auto - San Andreas - 14.1.05

Grand Theft Auto - San Andreas by Richie Cahill

"Anyone who has played GTA Vice-City or GTA3 will feel right at home straight away, it's basically way more of the same, only the missions are a lot more fun and a lot more varied.

That's not to say that it does'nt suffer the odd infuriatingly hard mission, usually the ones with time limits but overall they quite simply kick ass."

Half-Life 2 - 9.1.05

Half-Life 2 by IGNIQ forum members

"It's the great story, alluring character details, amazing graphics, believable physics and the fact that it never gets boring or unfresh througout the entire game.

It really has raised the bar for first person shooters in every way."

Richard Burns Rally - 18.11.04

Richard Burns Rally by Richie

"... an absolute joy to play, once of course you get by the first few hours of freaking out and wanting to put your rig out the window.

This game is HARD, and I dont just mean a little tricky, I now consider myself quite good at it, and I'm still sticking to 3rd and 4th gear at 100kph. The instant the game loads up and you're awaiting the GO signal, you realise your playing a rally game in a different class to [Colin McRae]"

Halo 2 - 11.11.04

Halo 2 by dek

"This game is not meant to be ground breaking, not too inventive, just an improved version of perfection.
To this it succeeds, its a 10, *****, its the killer app of the FPS world and its callin you."

Risk Your Life Beta - 15.10.04

Risk Your Life Beta by Dave Dalley

"The general jist of the game is to meet new friends, do loads of quests, make guilds, have massive battles between races and guilds/clans. The good thing that ryl offers is that it is a realistic fantasy theme. Unlike SWG and by the looks of WOW. RYL has something special to offer!."

Counter-Strike Source Beta - 24.9.04

Counter-Strike Source Beta by Dave Dalley

"This CS Source Beta test grabbed me and made me stay there for a long time to admire what's going to come of the next level of gaming. The best physics system you will see. This will stay as the top one for a few years and will still be admired in a few years to come too."

SW: Battlefront (Single Player) - 22.9.04

Star Wars: Battlefront (Single Player)
by Richie Cahill

"... all in all it's a quality piece of software, well worth going out to buy, even more so (I'd venture a guess) if you have Internet connectivity. "

Day Of Defeat - 24.8.04

Day Of Defeat by Dave Dalley

"DOD is an extremely good mod using the half life engine. It stands out above CS for me. It seems to have a more realistic approach. Good recoils done on the weapons, accuracy and damage dealt with. It has now become very popular as there are also less hackers on DOD than CS.
It also has many features that CS doesnt offer, which make it a great all round mod."

DOOM 3 - 7.8.04

DOOM 3 by IGNIQ forum members

"AMAZING game, you have to play it to realize this. You can only watch so many video clips.....ok i'm rambling.....long story short....get the game...."

Far Cry - 31.7.04

Far Cry by Dave Dalley

"Many gamers have gotten so annoyed on waiting for Doom 3 and Halflife 2, then this comes outta nowhere, but believe me its a must buy game. There are up to 20 different levels that are enjoyable and annoying but in a good way!"

Steam - 29.7.04

Steam by Dave Dalley

"But the main problem is they have upset fans as it is not working correctly, and for a game that is 5yrs old it is taking up too much of the pc power. Unlike the WON versions of the game!"

Missing: Since January - 25.7.04

Missing: Since January by Rob Jones

"Gamers who like to go back to games again and again will be disappointed with Missing, the plot is totally linear and there's only one way to complete it, overall though, this is a fine game with a great idea, and for the most part the creepy atmosphere is brilliantly maintained."

America's Army - 12.7.04

America's Army Review by Dave Dalley

"This game may be only of interest to people that like realism, don't want to pay for a game, and that are very patient. It is described as solid by a newbie user and that's why people may get pissed off with it in the first place and will no longer play. It takes people to be committed for this game to last."

Max Payne 2 - 11.7.04

Max Payne 2 by Dave Dalley

"I recommend buying this game if you played the first, if not go buy the first, then this and it will all kinda start to make sense (but not completely)."


	Ratings Guide: Exceptionally Good. Best of its genre. Top of its class. Minor flaws prevent a top rating. Average. Not very good, nor very bad. Below Average. Some major flaws. Very Poor. No redeeming features. Igniq Reviews Collection Dead Rising - 22.8.06 Dead Rising by dek "This game is disgusting, it's brutal, it's funny, and it's your choice in how you want to play.
