Well made immersive experience.
Call of Duty 2.

Better than the first, but basically the same. I haven't finished it yet.
Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare.
7½ / 10
Top notch well made product! Very linear traditional. Graphics- and soundwise it's awesome and even better than the previous but again basically the same. Realistic atmosphere, immersing you with highest intensity. Overall design of the game is superb.
But i've had it with COD warfare, being merely a goddamned soldier executing orders.
Replayability: none whatsoever.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2.
7½ / 10
Awesome!
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3.
7½ / 10
A slightly better and more adventurous singleplayer product than Battlefield 3, but both are very alike also in their modern day war fiction. Paris is pretty, but there's no time for sightseeiing, you're a soldier and do what you're told. Mostly shooting. Very spectacular with traincrashes, helicoptercrashes, airplanecrashes, tanks falling through concrete parking floors etcetera all very well done. Still looking good and including spectacular crashes explosions and natural elements like a sandstorm doesn't make it a good singleplayer game. You always must "Follow" another guy (Soap, Price, Sandman...) who goes in front, if you step off the path you will soon die or cause him to die, mission failed. All by all it's rather a spectacular military sim, not much of a game.
Btw, i wonder: why is it in games presented as normal these days to have those goddam'd filthy tattoos?! Oh i forgot: that's how a true fighter looks. And when they finally hang the enemy they light a cigar. Yeah. Spit.
Call of Duty Ghosts.
6½ / 10
Spectacular modern war tech action in highly detailed environments. This is truly the combined work of an enormous army of artists and cost a lot! There's no time to enjoy that though because just like in the previous games there's only one way through the game and that is fast or you'll die. The realism is so technically "advanced" that you actually see the actors
act as if they beat up each other's head. I mean you clearly see they don't really get hit. It's cinema!
Spectacular, but as gameplay just a simple shooter at best. Actually not even a good one. In comparison, Crysis (1, 2, 3) now that's a good game with high replayability. COD:Ghosts doesn't have that at all.
Call of Duty 5 World at War.
7½ / 10
Very linear traditional. Graphics- and soundwise it's awesome and even better than the previous but again basically the same. I just had to buy it each time but i've really had enough of this series.
And no replayability.
Still, i'll probably buy a next game without hesitation because i know it'll be good.
Call of Juarez.
8 / 10
Very good. With mixed feelings. Very good landscape, atmosphere, AI, story. Once used to the gameplay, big fun. But also with horrible graphics elements (in DX9.0c): the rocks look like psychedelic glass, and the water in the river is the weirdest i have ever seen in a game. In DX10 a little better but still it looks like the designers never saw water flowing through a river. As a game very good parts (mainly), mixed with very bad. And it's suffering bugs (falling through walls, broken graphics, disappearing objects you just picked up or supposed to pick up etc.). First level tedious, but from second (or third) really sets off. Despite here and there clumsy parts, overall a very adventurous game.
Call of Juarez Bound in Blood.
6 / 10
Not as good as the first one. Scenery is awesome, sound is very very good. Voiceacting is too exaggerated western cliché, but still good. Dramatic, realistic scenes are "canned": do this, do that, of course you succeed (enough hints to make you) and then it's over. I haven't finished it yet though, for a final judgement.
Btw this time the water is superb!
Call of Juarez Gunslinger.
4 / 10
Oh those stupid cowboys, those idiots. But the shooting is remarkably smooth, quick, responsive, flexible, so it seems this is gonna be a fun game anyway.
But no they ruined it.
Like in Grid 2 where you get drifting shoved down your throat, in COJG it's a return to the stupid focus mechanism. But they still haven't figured out how to make that playable on the keyboard and mouse.
So you must keep the opponent "in focus". In nature, you do that with your eyes, in this game you're supposed to do that by moving the mouse (not the buttons, just the mouse),
and for some reason keeping the guy in the circle -although he is standing still- is hard. 
That circle keeps moving away, out of your control.
So this is where the game starts failing, again.
The tutorial text explains that you must use the left mouse button to shoot.
But every time the opponent kills me before i can shoot. Turns out that if you draw your gun a millisecond later than the opponent does, you draw no gun at all. You get killed emptyhanded. What a disaster.
If you hit him in the belly, that means he is not hurt at all and then will kill you. You MUST: hit him in the heart. Oh boy, how do they manage to take away the fun.
This game seems to have been made for 8-year olds. Maybe the form of storytelling with heavy western accent and illustrated with cartoons is meant as a parody?
Not one second is there a sense of adventure nor a character you could identify with because you and the story teller seem to be the same person. But then he fools you.
Every single npc is just another idiot that starts shooting at you right away, you kill them in groups, and it all ends with one "boss"-like figure you get into a circus-act duel with.
So the goal is to "find the entrance to the mine". Untuitively i don't follow the obvious path, but ascend over the rocks on the left. And i was right: there is a cowboy guarding ontop. I engaged him close by, expecting i could melée attack him from behind. But he heard me coming so i was too late, i lost too much health and then chose to reload checkpoint. And what does this game do? It puts me at a point where i never was (but was supposed to be): downwards on the path! I was never there, but in this game, "reload checkpoint" means you are put on a spot where you never were.
So i climb the rock again, and kill the baddie from a distance. Then descend the hidden ladder. And then -the cowboys down the terrain have not seen me taking the ladder down, so they cannot even know where i am, and surely can NOT see me crawling out of sight through that corridor with bushes in front, still they manage to shoot me three times from far
through the bushes so i almost die!
They trace me even though they cannot possibly see me! 
(i notice in the Inventory that is one of the abilities i can win to earn, so that's why it's possibile that the enemies already have those supernatural abilities).
To enter the mine the storyteller presents you an option. You follow that, because there's no other way! And then the game makes you die in the end, in the silliest manner followed by the storyteller saying "good i didn't follow that rediculous plan in the first place!"
What a waste of time and effort, what nonsense, what rubbish!!!
The environments are very nicely made, the sound is very good. Which is all a complete waste of hard work for a rubbish game. This is a fiasco.
Carmageddon.

I never actually played it, and this game is visually so primitive i can't try and judge it.
Carmageddon 2.
? / 10
Not any better from what i remember, i'd have to retry it someday.
Carmageddon TDR2000.
8.5 / 10
The first dinky-toy car racing game i played was Vacantie Racer. A bit boring though. Carmageddon TDR2000 is the first game besides Tomb Raider i got addicted to very quickly. Amazingly funny. The car physics, the over the top rudeness in an innocent, cheerful way.
Uncomparable to any other game.

Great FPS.
Chronicles Of Riddick Escape from Butchers Bay.
9 / 10
One of my favourites.
Chronicles Of Riddick Dark Athena.
8 / 10
Also one of my favourites, because of the sinister, dark phantasy atmosphere. It suffers from the "almost hitting" bug: you're really aiming bullseye at an enemy (their head or their body) in the distance but all your bullets bounce off some invisible blockade by nearby environmental objects, until you clear the path much wider, often exposing yourself too much. So it's a bit wonky clunky, including the rediculous AI. It adds an extra challenge there, stealth works best to defeat the enemies. Theyr're very predictable. There's still enough to enjoy if you take the time. Played it 6 ~ 7 times in a row.
My thread as sort of review
On Windows 7 x64, it may require an updated Tages security driver:
https://www.tagesprotection.com/main.ht ... inimum.htm. The game just refuses to start without it, with only the cryptic error message that 'you must run with admin privileges' although you already ARE... Install the Tages file and then you're good to go.
Clive Barker's Jericho.
6 / 10
From the salesbin. Only played a few levels yet. I like linear games, but here it follows a narrow curvy path and you cannot jump (so as to take any alternative route), obviously deliberately done so as to make efficient use of the relatively small maps (just like in Gears of War) and i hate that being dumbed down in my freedom of moving. Jericho at least gives me first person view. The quite boring monsters (all clones) are extremely stupid, running towards you roaring and dying identically. Graphically it's weird that i can walk upon and over invisible ground covering the torch holding scarecrows. I don't get the point of this game yet, it's not captivating, yet.

I don't like it. Decent races / events. But rotten menu user interface (and horrible voices, luckily you can shut them off).
Command and Conquer: Renegade.

Very good classic FPS, had lots of fun with it.
Conflict Desert Storm.

Buggy. Cripple.
Constantine.
3 / 10
Hmm, no. Wrong lead character, silly enemies, limited controls, rediculous story and content. It is not completely crap, but i don't like anything about it. Some bug halfway the game made me quit entirely, without regret and i'll never take it up again.
Contract J.A.C.K..
7.5 / 10
Exactly No One Lives Forever (the same makers), and i like it. Great game!
Counter Strike: Source.
8 / 10
Not much into multiplayer, so i don't really have much experience with this game. But what i played on the local test server was very exciting and very well done and instant action! A more modern version of Condition Zero, which i find awesome.

KING of team games. Absolutely superb in every respect. I only play against the bots (and they are very good).
Crazy Taxi.

Meh. Bad car physics, clumsy controls and ugly. Maybe good for kids but not for me
Cryostasis.
8 / 10
Highly original. Looking good and very well done atmosphere on a captivating storyline. Great sounds and voiceacting. Action and combat feel clumsy though.
I'm playing on ATI so hardware physx disabled. After a short peak how it looks, but physx on the cpu is just too big a performance hit.
I'm only halfway the game now. Maybe i'll reward it an 8. But so far i feel more could have been made from it; so far i see it leaning too heavily on the same horror effect over and over again of a roaring mutant jumping out of the dark running towards you.
I have never seen such bad sniperrifle-telescope: it keeps at a 20 cm distance from your eye
, it moves up and down as if the gun is breathing instead of yourself
, if you lock it f.i to a an approaching enemy before you look through the scope you end up looking 2 meters beyond him
. And: a handfull of bullets into your chest don't do much more damage than slowing you down (and you recover completely by warming your hands), but missing a step on a ladder making you fall 2 meters instantly ends your life.
But the way the adventure unfolds is immersing, in this dark cold atmosphere, the psychological subtleties, and a parallel allegory -told via scratches of paper you find on your path. It's hard to stop playing.

Crysis 2.
8 / 10
Incredible.
The way it spawns enemy soldiers... (not the aliens, i mean the soldiers!).
This is one of the weakest aspects of the game.
I don't mean the game is hard (at veteran), because it's not. But the game cheats too obviously.
Very enjoyable game, very good looking in DX11. Checkpoints are way too far apart. On the other hand it's part of the game, the challenge.
Crysis 3
8 / 10
Great game... or not.
It contains not the worst boss-fights ever, but close. Both the end- and sub-bossfights.
Incredibly angering choice of checkpoint placements... goddammit how many times i got annoyed by that.
Annoying bugs, like: when you're cloaked, the JAV may shoot right through any flying target, bullet's gone with no effect, over and over again. JAV will not stick to target.
Still by far the best first person sci-fi shooter in existance, fascinating, beautiful, detailed, 'well-composed', so the minor bugs and flaws aren't really important, they're just a pity as the game could have been much better still.
It is still a very good game simply because it is alone in its class, plays very smoothly, has much to enjoy and (at least to me) has very high replayability.
] I hate that you can't look down over the edge onto the street below. I hate that however "interesting items to look at" are marked with a magnifying glass and "C" to press, it does NOT magnify the object at all, merely presents some textual comment. I hate that the glass with the "C" looking at a photograph on the wall still appears when Alice turns 90 degrees looking at a collection of children's drawings but still the comment that is triggered is about the photograph of her family she looked at in the previous position. I hate the maniacal grin of that cat, already in Alice 1 i hated how that creature looked and sounded... some parts in this game i would do so entirely differently! Matter of taste probably. And what are those, when you hack the snail's shell open with the sword, human teeth? How disgusting!
Played a chunk, sofar i'm not very enthusiastic, can't pinpoint exactly why, yet.
Took some time, but Ok, i won. And now. On top of that tower, to visit the beautiful girl, not a single keystroke works. I have to "Interact" to get from the rooftop, but NOTHING works. What a total shit. Exit to Windows, and restart game. This time, yes, Forward (W) Jump (Space) and right-click mouse works. 
Horrible game start. 
The ingame protagonist is a bearded ugly old man, not exactly a pleasure to look at. The models are way too often the same clone. Ezio kills all those highly trained soldiers with way too much ease. 
.
Maybe i'll get used to it. 
So it's a puzzle: you have to guess what's expected of you.
