Ok I'm going to combine these three games, as the comments will be very short.
007 Legends
Wow, it is hard to imagine how you could make a worse Bond game. The premise is solid, I think. Basically the concept is to create a game where you go through all the cool moments of Bond movies. Forget plot, forget meaning, just a roller coaster. I vomited. This game is terrible. I spent 30 minutes in the game before I couldn't take it anymore. The graphics are terrible. Flat textures, low polygon counts, even the art direction is terrible. If you looked at screenshots of this game, you wouldn't be able to tell me what game it is. It's the very definition of bland and uninspired.
How much did I pay: Zero Dollars. I got it for free from a lovely marketing woman.
How many hours did I play: 0.5
Dollar per Hour (a common trait I hope to rate all my games with): n/a Free game
How much would I pay for this game in perfect hindsight: -$50
Why?: Because playing this game is a waste of time. It's terrible on every level. It's even a bad console port. The controls feel all sorts of wrong. I really would need to get paid to spend another 30 minutes with this game. I wish I could delete this from my Steam list.
A.R.E.S.
Cool little side scrolling game. Nothing really unique about it actually. You can upgrade weapons and grenades, which I always like, but it seemed like none of the guns were effectively all that different. Supposedly if you play it on hard there are secrets to find. I find this feature really dumb, as I now have to play it through again. F that. I did beat this though
How much did I pay: I bought this game as part of a Indie Royale bundle for probably about $5.
How many hours did I play?: 106 minutes.
Dollar per Hour: $2.83
How much would I pay?: $1.00
Why?: Ultimately forgettable, if not entirely unenjoyable, experience. Super short. At first glance it would seem that I over paid $1.83, but we'll have to see how the bundle totals up. Other games in that bundle: Gemini Rue, Sanctum, and Nimbus.
Aces of Spades
An interesting idea for a game. It's basically Minecraft with guns. Fun little experience in short bursts. Honestly, I'm not done with the game, but it will probably be a while before I return, as Hawken consumes my multiplier itch. The only mode I've played is where you have to destroy the enemy base. Fairly easy to do if left untouched, but hard to stay hidden. No real innovations in weaponry as you have your standard minigun, sniper rifle, etc. Not much to say about this game, but it is fun.
How much did I pay: Got it as a gift (THANKS CODY!), but it was $5 at the time.
How many hours did I play?: 2 hours.
Dollar per Hour: $2.50
How much would I pay?: $5
Why?: I like supporting new little ideas, and this definitely has a unique twist with being able to drill into mountains. Even at right now, I think it was a good purchase. Hopefully I get to play a bit more in the future.
What game is next? Half-Life 2: episode 2 review (random list picked it first), and I will finish a game I stopped playing on purpose...Amnesia. I quit playing that game, because I was honestly scared to death. This is going to be interesting.
