Remember Duke Nukem 3D with its fun gameplay and humorous one-liners? Well it's like that in Duke Nukem Forever.

Despite the harsh criticism it received from the likes of Gamespot, as well as other reviewers out there, this isn't the best, nor the worst game out there this year.

Reviewers have complained that it's terribly outdated, too difficult, has bad AI, amongst other things. But that's the whole beauty of it. While games such as Crysis, Battlefield and Call of Duty are going for a more realistic approach, Duke Nukem Forever takes you back to the good old days of the FPS genre.

Fans will enjoy this game, but remember to get this game on PC unless you enjoy long loading times.

If you're a fan of horror FPS games, then you'll enjoy They Hunger.

The graphics are good, even for a Half-Life mod. Even though some of the characters have the same AI as some of the enemies in Half-Life (Headcrab zombies, Vortigants, Houndeyes, Bullsquids, etc), it doesn't ruin anything about them.

The story and gameplay are spot on. As you progress further into the story, you'll discover who was responsible for the outbreak and why it happened. The gameplay becomes more interesting as you progress through some of the areas in all 3 episodes.

The maps are great, but not the best. You'll often get confused on where to go next, but you'll eventually be on the right path again.

Overall, They Hunger is a great mod and if you own Half-Life, you should check it out.

Also, if you have a Dreamcast, you can play this mod as a homebrew game.

As a fan of the Hexen series (even though there's only been 2 games), I've really enjoyed the demo version of this Doom 3 mod.

I'm not going to say anything more about this mod since it's only a demo, but I can't wait until it's full release.
