Legend: Hand of God (PC, Role-Playing) is an action RPG set in a fantasy world.

GameSpot.com gave it a 4.5 (”Poor”) rating:

“Action RPGs may be a ubiquitous these days, but there is always room for another one…if it brings something new to the table or nails that good old Diablo formula. Unfortunately, developer Master Creating’s attempt to both innovate and satisfy tradition has been waylaid by flaws in Legend: Hand of God’s design and execution. Repetitive battles, dull maps, no multiplayer, and some serious bugs make Legend a less than optimal choice to kill a couple dozen hours between now and the still depressingly far-off release of Diablo III.” [GameSpot | Legend: Hand of God]

GameZone.com gave it a 6 rating:

“L:HoG has promise, but there’s nothing new to see or do here. This is a hard title to recommend to veterans of the genre, unless you don’t mind retreading the same gaming territory, dealing with occasional bugs and a camera that’s a bit too restrictive, as well as spotty voice acting. This is one dragon you don’t need to slay.” [GameZone | Legend: Hand of God]

Maybe it’s a good idea to play Diablo or Diablo II again.

About Crysis Warhead:

In Crysis Warhead, players will don the Nanosuit of Sergeant Sykes, also known as ‘Psycho’, one of the most memorable characters from Crysis. More brash and aggressive than his Delta Force squadmate Nomad, players will experience Psycho’s parallel story during the events of the original game, finding that life on the other side of the island is even more intense and explosive than they ever could have imagined. Luckily, Psycho’s Nanosuit is just as capable and he’s equipped with an even bigger arsenal of fully customizable weapons and new vehicles, giving players access to the tools they need to dominate any situation.

The specs are very similar to the one for the original Crysis.

Sam & Max: Season Two (PC, Adventure) is a compilation of 5 Sam & Max episodes. The season starts with a giant battle robot attack and never lets up, taking our valiant crime-fighters on a gut-wrenching mission from the North Pole to Easter Island, from outer space to Hell and back.

“This most recent Sam & Max season really impressed us, so it’s nice to see all five episodes collected in one volume. The humor and story elements have really become stronger this season and point the way ahead to an even better third season. We are of course curious how the designers can top a season that includes time-travel, alien abduction, Santa, a vampire rave and a trip to Hell’s offices but we’re hopeful that the designers can come up with something.” [IGN | Sam & Max: Season Two]

IGN.com gave it an 8.1 (”Impressive”) rating. This is surely a nice game for Adventure gamers out there. And yes, it’s okay if you haven’t played the first season.
