Am I the good guy or not?!?!?

Have you ever played a game that was so good but half way through it you realize that... Wait, am I the bad guy?!?!... I am the one doing the most sinister things in the game and it feels wrong, but enjoyable. Well, let's start this first game review with a small dedication to the good/bad guys that starred three  of the most enjoyable games I played last year.


Syndicate 8 out 10
Oh the humanity...  The main character for this game... "Kilo"  is somewhat of a mindless assassin for a globe corporate company that has a ruthless CEO at its core, and is being mentored throughout the game by a sadistic sidekick that seems to be listening too much Tommy Lee songs. Anyhow, this game delivers a great FPS (First Person Shooter) experience and some of the most intense boss battles I have experience since  my days of gaming in 2012.  If you are looking for some fun and a bit of dark humor, then this is your one stop game.
Main Character Mental State: Silent and Ruthless
Fun factor:  High
Graphics and Sound:  Borderline Amazing
Overall : Great game that has a lot of replay value.


Sleeping Dogs 8 out 10
Ok, this game surprised me in a lot of way...  Imagine a GTA (Grand Theft Auto) game that doesn't give you access to weapons tell half way through the game. The result is you having a ball beating bad guys with everything else senseless kung fu style. In the game you play as a undercover cop "Wei Shen" in... China? or was it Japan? Ggrrr they look a like... an Asian country, where at times the line between being a good cop or a coldblooded gang member becomes very difficult to see.  Flying kicks, Leg breaks, Arm breaks, Counters, Fish (Yes... a fish... very dangerous weapon in this game), Tire Iron and everything else you can get your hands on make this game fun to play. I would highly recommend gamers to take note of this amazing game.
Main Character Mental State: Hardened Cop with no respect for authority... sound like a Jamaican.  
Fun Factor : Extremely High
Graphics and Sound : Great
Overall : Addictive gameplay that keeps you wanting more.


Darkness II  9out 10
 A mob boss that is possessed by an ancient demon named "Darkness" that grants him immortal pow... wait,wait... Tommy Lee made a video game??? Anyway, with a plot like that... just imagine how bad the villains are.  You play as the boss "Jackie Estacado"  with all his supernatural powers to your disposal , which is quite a lot of powers. If this game wasn't made to look animated I would certainly be having nightmare after each play through. At, times you may feel sorry for the villains in this game because you are so mighty and they are just weaklings... it's like Godzilla stepping on an ant... or Kiprich clashing Tony Matterhorn.  The game itself is a good FPS with some cool ideas added that aren't in most shooter today.
Main Character Mental State: Tormented, Demented, Possessed, and Borderline Crazy.
Fun factor : Extremely High
Graphics and Sound : Great
Overall : Great game that has major replay value.




Final Thoughts
Sometime having a main character that doesn't fit our social idea of being a general all round good  guy makes a game appealing and enjoyable. All hail the mentally unstable sadistic paranoid heroes that make video games cool.
