Player Affinity writes: "Hunted: The Demon’s Forge is a classic dungeon crawler title that emphasizes in-depth cooperative play, and is interpreted through a more contemporary third person perspective, in the vein of titles like Gears of War. Developed by inXile Entertainment and published by Bethesda Softworks, Hunted seeks to portray a beautifully rendered world punctuated by fast action and cinematic style. Not is all well in the world of Kala Moor. Monsters have emerged from the underground darkness, demonic taint has begun to infect the landscape, and innocents have been taken for surely foul purposes. As either E’Lara or Caddoc, two mercenaries contracted to discover the source of the corruption; players must venture forth and crush any resistance along the way. Like many hack 'n' slash titles, Hunted puts a massive amount of importance on the value of teamwork."

"When you first started playing Spec Ops: The Line , you might feel that it’s just another brainless third person shooter, and some parts are kind of boring, that’s what I thought as well, but I was really into shooter games so I finished it and I was totally impressed by its story, don’t worry not spoilers, If you want to know why this game is on the list, and you are interested in good stories, go play it and pay attention to the plot, you will agree my opinion afterwards."
The Saboteur was great, nice art style and such a good soundtrack. Hunted was cool but very flawed.
Alice the Madness Returns is still really cool for those who like the premise. The original Dead Space holds up well. Catherine has aged incredibly well. The Suda 51 games are all still great if you can dig quirkiness (Shadows of the damned, Lollipop Chainsaw, Killer is dead). There are lots more, many have had remasters already though.
Totally agree, Alice the Madness Returns was good, and Split Second mentioned in the article was not bad as well
I always felt that Saboteur was under appreciated, I really did like that game a lot. It was a real shame when Pandemic got shut down.
New discounts for Bethesda games include Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition for Xbox 360 at $10.19, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Game of the Year Edition for as low as $11.58 and more.
Forbes: At the PAX East Composer’s Panel, an interesting question was posed to composer Kevin Riepl: aside from Aliens: Colonial Marines, had he ever poured so much time and work into a soundtrack only to have the game suck or go largely unnoticed? When a game does as poorly as Aliens: Colonial Maries did, critically, it’s very rare that people then attempt to hunt down the soundtrack. Likewise, when a game releases to a mediocre or lukewarm fanfare, the soundtrack rarely sees publication.
