Path of Exile (Closed Beta)
6/10: The guys need to expand the game with more monster and item types, and also develop on the quest structure so the game doesn't feel quite so sparse and repetitive. It's coming along splendidly as a Diablo clone though... I'm amazed at how similar the feel is to D2 on the whole. With some heavy work in populating the world with more variety I think they've got a good time-killer on their hands.

Sweet game. If you like the style you may want to play ARES, a similar game that was released last year

From Dust (pc) - 6.5 - Really, really bad port, game is ok.
Unreal Tournament 3 - 7 - Can't touch the original or 2004, wish they had stuck to the traditional tournament story.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution - 6.5/7 - S'allright.
Crysis - 6.5 - Great looking game, could have been better. Not as good as Farcry.
Shogun: Total War 2 - 7 - Not as good as Medieval: TW, from what I remember.
Starcraft 2 - 8 - Great RTS. (turning on AA murders the FPS, at least on an ATI card)

Doom 3 didn't have anything to do with the doom series at all, except for the names used in the making.
Still to this day I'm amazed how far from the atmosphere of the first game Doom 3 was, it completely lacks that apocalyptic/semi-medieval feeling of Doom 1 & 2.
The engine was sub par at release and the only thing it brought to the table that was new at the time was specular mapping and per-pixel lighting.
The "scares" only worked for the first few maps, then you learned how they set them up so you always knew beforehand.
The only "scary" thing about the game was the lack of health and ammo.
While Q4 didn't bring much new to the table either, i still thought that the single player campaign was a good follow up on Quake 2.
But I agree about the speed, it was f-ing slow(And I think Quake 2 is slow!).
I found the multiplayer to be really fun(Especially the sliding feature.), but at a professional level i have to admit that it tightened the gap between pro/semi-pro players.
I think Rage will be a great game as well.. I'm really looking forward to it.
I'm looking forward even more to Doom 4 though, which was supposed to make Rage look like junk.
First smooth scrolling computer game ever made, also one of the first ever EGA games made.
One of the first "3D" games ever made, and its considered the earliest complete FPS-title ever made.
Also notably the first "3D" game with moving walls.
The first game to feature diagonal walls, stairs, moving platforms, triggers and lighting effects.. and if i remember this right, it was also the first FPS with multiplayer support.
The very first full 3D game, it also featured highly advanced AI and triggering mechanisms for its time.
You can still find chunks of this code present in modern games(The console & triggering system in the source engine for instance.).

Haha I have been playing it for 3 hours (Im using a US VPN for other reasons and found out that also meant I could unlock it 
)
Yes they did release a dev/beta/broken version.
Yes my dlc content is gone.
Yes they have fucked up my save game so I have to start other D:
Some people is whining about this being a straight console port, dont know if im just less picky.. but it does not seem to bad to me.
But still I will give this a 8/10 and hopefully I can enjoy the proper version soon !
Not sure what people were expecting (other then a working release ha), but IMO its lots of fun

Yep, I think actual it happens for everyone.. so I would wait a bit before playing again (or backup your savegames)
When I started I was at the lifeguard fort and every zombie was respawned, tried to load my latest check point and suddenly I was back to the start with the prologue D:
I picked the throw expert guy

Ah, I went and bought a retail copy, my internet is only 100kbps and would take a while to DL the whole thing...so far no issues with saves.
It is very similar in style to Far Cry 2 imo. Also, the driving is horribly unintuitive and clunky.

I don't understand differing release dates when digitally distributing a game. We still have to wait until the 9th here.
I swear these days every time I buy a game I regret it in some way or form.

It's only for the benefit of the sales of the physical release.
Otherwise they'd have a shitton of stock that no one wants.

Yeah and here we won't be able to buy / play it at all so you'd better not be ranting about the release date

Ah Germany and its harsh censorship. We're amazed it got through here. Left 4 Dead 2 got given an R-rating if I recall. No idea how Dead Island snuck through without issue. Apparently even the devs were surprised.
Anyway, quite familiar with games being massacred on release. I bought Storm of War/Cliffs of Dover on release, and that thing is still so incomplete that it's unplayable.

Haha if they made a version with completely nude people + zombies but no blood it would pass and only get a "12yr+" rating over here
edit: Left For Dead 1 and 2 were both rated 18+, which I find totally acceptable. I just don't get why the fuck they still censor games for adults, or even forbid them. It's funny because even violent movies are sometimes screened uncensored over here while in the US they get the shit censored out of them, but regarding games, Germany is just retarded and backwards. *sigh* But I remember we had that topic here before.
