Take 'Em Out
Shoot waves of enemies that pop up on the screen and try to not shoot civilians. You get to select two weapons for each level and they are assigned to left and right mouse buttons. Then you click fire... a lot
Takedown: Red Sabre
Game that wish to be Rainbow Six and Swat 4 and fails in all ways possible. I you wish to play a game like that I recommend that you instead get any of the Rainbow Six games. Even they one from 1998 is better then this one.
Tankkk
Really fun top town shoot'em up with four player support. Extra fun with bouncy bullets.
Team Fortress 2
Team based first person shooter where cartoon styled red and blue team shoot it out. Nine player classes to pick from and wherever you pick there is always a spy with a knife with your name on it waiting in the shadows.
Terminal Velocity
Fly around in your spacecraft and attack planets, ships and everything else you can shoot at. Still got the theme music in my brain from this one :).
Terraria
Action-adventure 2D game where you explore and fight monster. Resource gathering is important so you can build better gear and improve your house where NPC traders move in and sell you things as the game progress.
Testament
Play the events of the old Testament as an angel and learn more about the bible.

The 7th Guest
One of the first full-motion video (FMV) video games. A house, six people invited, rooms with puzzles, watch video when puzzle is done and find the next room that opened up. When you got your first 1x speed cd-rom it was cool to see moving video but this has zero staying power beyoynd 1993. I dislike everything in this game.
The Ball
First person puzzle game where most are solved with a giant ball. Left mouse push the ball away and right mouse make the ball roll towards the player. Put the ball on buttons, destroy doors with it or use it to roll over monsters. Every time i had to leave the ball behind for a while i felt a bit sad.
The Callisto Protocol
Space horror where they main character climb in vents, squeeze between walls and get knocked out. All of them so often it borders on comedy. It looks good but everything in it is paint by numbers dull.
The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena
Remake and addon to Escape from butcher bay.
The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from butcher bay
Walk around, punch people out and say as many one liners as you can. This is a mix of action, adventure and stealth game. One fun thing with the game was the commentary mode in the developer version of the game were there are little icons on the levels that you can click to listen to the developers comments about the game, most of them talk about how late they put in all the things in the game
The Curse of Monkey Island
Great intro and nice art style. Guybrush tries to put a ring on it and turn his love Elaine into a gold statue. She is stolen and its time to save her and find the Big Whoop treasure.
The Darkness
First-person shooter where you take the role of a possessed Mafia member that that have to kill off more or less everyone he worked with before. Besides the normal guns you also have darkness power from the thing inside you. It is also possible to summon small deamons called Darklings to help you fight. The problem with the game is that the darkness power is really not that fun and the story is also somewhat dull. The only place when it lights up is when you kill yourself in the story and go to a horror style world war one setting that act as the private hell the darkness have you in you resurrect. Still, I'm not sure that 'it's fun when you kill yourself' is a good selling point for a game.
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
Visit the island of Vvardenfell and spend hours killing Cliff Racer's. To be honest you get to do other things to such as fulfilling a prophecy and killing a god. All those things are fun but jumping up to hit and kill cliff racers is the thing that will be part of my muscle memory forever. I do not like the dialogue or the quests. Talking to someone turned into a guess to right word and most quest was spent being lost for long periods of time. It's nice to be able to explore a open world but i do prefer more guidance when i have quests. It gets tiresome to run around in a city to find a single person or over the landscape to find the correct mine. The rule system in the game is also a bit broken and there are bugs that put a dent in the enjoyment of the game. Killing cliff racers and falling through the floor will be my memory from this game. That and the theme song, the theme song is Epic.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Knights of the Nine
Expansion pack for Oblivion where you hunt around for some relics to defeat a evil king from the past.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
Nice world to explore but it turns repetitive fast. The game system is broken and stupid and all characters that you try to work with will jump in front of you when you fight and then attack you.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles
Second expansion to Oblivion and this time you visit the realm of madness where the prince Sheogorath needs your help to stop the cataclysm.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Dragons have returned to Tamriel and as one of the few that can speak the dragon language you can help defeat them. Nice open world with many quests and areas to explore, the only thing that brings the game down a bit is the retarded console like menus.
The Forgotten City
Stuck in a timeloop on a hidden Roman city you try to find a way out. Mostly walking around and talking to people with some light combat in a few areas. The end is not that great.
The Incredible Machine
In each level in this game you are given some strange objects to assemble a Rube Goldberg-type machine to solve a simple puzzle. Think outside the box by throwing cats, balloons, monkeys and anything at the problem.
The Karate Kid: Part II - The Computer Game
Fighting game based on the movie where you simple participate in five fights based on scenes from the movie. Also contain two small mini games where you try to break ice blocks or catch flies with chopstick. Game is so bad it's make more sense to try to break the game discs instead.
The Lab
VR technology showcase set in the Valve Portal universe. Shot a bow, play with a dog and move on to another game.
The Legend of Zelda
Action adventure game where you explore the land's of Hyrule to collect the parts of the Triforce of Wisdom so you can save princess Zelda.
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Lot's of items, dungeons and two worlds to explore. No way I would played this without a guide.
The kidnappings will continue until Zelda's security improves.
The Secret of Monkey Island
Adventure game where you collect items and use them in strange ways to move forward in the plot. In the game one assume the role of Gaybrush Threepwood, a young man that try to get into a career as a pirate. As the game progress one fight sword fights with insults, search for treasure and also get a new nemesis in the form of the ghost pirate LeChuck. Never been a fan of this kinds of game really, some fun parts but overall I find it tiresome to pickup random items and guess my way to the answer.
The Sinking City
Action-adventure game where you play as a private investigator that have nightmares about squid monsters. Like any Cthulhu Mythos investigator before him he travel to the source of the visions, the city of Oakmont. It's an open-world setting flooded by the sea and you search for clues, kill monsters and talk to the fishy looking people.
The Solus Project
Explore an alien planet and enjoy the setting but ignore the weak survival system. Lack of things to discover when exploring new areas makes it all a bit of a disappointment.
The Sum of All Fears
This like all others rainbow six games but with another name as it is based around the movie/book.
The Terminator: Future Shock
I started playing it as I had nothing better to play and it turned out to be one of the best games I played for along time . It catches the theme nicely and you get do drive around in a jeep and fly a hover craft.
The Vanishing of Ethan Carter Redux
Walk, find clues that are easy to walk past and then solve super simple puzzles to progress. Walk, click, puzzle, repeat.
The Westport Independent
Play as a editor in chief of a newspaper and choose what to publish. Every week I supported the democratically elected Loyalist Party, vilified the rebels and praised the great leader. Still, in the end everyone loved me. The idea of this game is much better then it's execution.
The Wheel of Time
Take on the role of one of the Aes Sedai from the wheel of time book series. Instead of spells Ter'Angreal artifacts are used so you can find them and consume them in the game. Think guns, ammo and power ups. Long cut-scenes that tell the story filled with people slow to get to the point. Gameplay is bit on repeat with the same few spells for combat.
Thief
This linear disaster set another nail in the thief series coffin. I hate everything about this game and with Dishonored to compare with this game looks like a bad and painful joke. Extra points for the dramatic cut scene with a cheering crowd of two people. Was all the character crowd members busy signing up for Assassins Creed: Unity? Not that anyone would spent time in the City these days, it’s layout makes it less interesting then the window dressing city from Thief: The Dark project. A game i will play next to cleanse my soul of this vile piece of @£$€ game.
Thief 2 - T2X: Shadows of the Metal Age
This is a new fan made campaign for thief 2 and besides a bit to many undead levels it is fun.
Thief 2 - The Metal Age
The story continues from Thief and Garret keeps moving around in the city, stealing things and getting mixed in the events of a new factions of the Hammers, the Mechanists. Always fun with servants that scream in fear when you emerge from the shadows :). Best level was Life of the Party.
Thief: Deadly Shadows
This game is the final episode in the three parts that makes up the thief series and its sad to see it end in one big failure. This game was made by another company (Ion Storm) then those who did the first two games and credit to Ion Storm for fucking up a good series of game so much. Dont think anyone else would have the incompetence to pull this of.
The levels in the game are small and the game is also to easy and you can without any problem walk around like a killing machine and slay everyone you see without any problems at all. The tools are almost the same from the past games but no more rope arrows, now we can use the the useless climbing gloves that can only be used on walls set on the linear path in the game. All those reviewers that talk about the revolutionary horror level Robbing The Cradle only display proof of their own incompetence, go back to thief and play Haunted cathedral and you will see it has been done before. The game is also linear and when a choice has to be made it's is often useless like when you have to option to go into a door and a window and they both lead to the same empty rooms. The only good thing about this game is the name. When translators translate b-movies to Swedish they often use use the word deadly as they don?t care to find a better name. TDS is not a b-game, you need to write in kanji to go have enough characters to put it in it's right place as far as possible at the end of the list. 
Thief: The Dark Project
King of the sneak games. You play as Garret, a master thief in a dark steam punk world. You goal is to get rich by sneaking into and stealing as much loot as you can from peoples houses. This is best done by staying in the shadows, making as little sound as possible and disabling the guards and hiding their bodies. There are often many paths to use to reach a area in the game and one needs to spend some time watching the movements of guards before moving forward. One also have tools like lock picks and water arrows to snuff out torches.
The story is told between the missions in movies and in books and texts found in the game. The order of the hammer and pagans battle each other and both try to use Garret as a pawn in their game and the mystical keepers act in the shadows and try to use anyone.
Thief is one of the best sneak game, to bad they used the stealth technology in the advertising of the game also. Best levels was The Sword and Assassins levels. There are also a Thief Gold version that add three extra levels to the game.
Thunder Wolves
Arcade helicopter shooter where everything explodes. One-liners and explosions is what this game is about.
Timeshift
Shooter where you can manipulate time. You can slowdown, pause and rewind time. Use it to shoot people better and to perform some basic puzzles. Sometimes i got stuck and checked a guide and remember that there was a time gimmick to solve the things with. Bit of a weak execution when the player forget about the existence if the games unique feature.
Tintin on the moon
Guide Tintin to the moon by avoiding asteroids, putting out fires, landing and other things. Not that fun really..
Titanfall 2
Shooter where you play both with and without your Titan, a large mecha-style exoskeletons. It has it's own AI so it can act on it's own when you are outside it. Great single player campaign.
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon
It's 2008 and Russia starts another world domination plan like they always do in the Tom Clancy world. Good for the world that a elite special force, the ghosts from USA is there to save the day. There are 16 missions and they take place from the start of combat operations to the final battle in Moscow. Each mission have some goals like killing someone, saving somebody else and each mission also have a bonus objective that one could do if you feel like it. On each missions you can have three teams with three members in each. There are four types of soldiers, rifleman, support, sniper and then demo that can blow things up. Each character also have some skills and you get one skill point on each mission they are in so you can make them better at shooting or sneaking around. Great in multiplayer coop.
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint
This is a sequel to Wildlands and it main new feature is the game as the games-as-service elements. Microtransactions R'Ubisoft.
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter
Ghost recon style once again but unlike the first one where you where mostly in the wild you now run around inside a city instead. Mexico city and the city is really nice done and to offset that they choose to make some really bad AI. Many mission ends with you having to shoot one of your own soldiers as he is stuck inside something. Ohh... and the when the server player die the whole mission fails thing must be one of the most stupid things in any coop game... ever.
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2
More cool future fighters and more coop level fun.
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Desert Siege
Expansion with eight new missions. Takes place in Africa were some gun mad general once again decide to make his how empire and the ghosts go there to stop him. Realistic missions also, in one you save a oil refinery from the evildoers.
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier
Ghost Recon used to be cool, like Rainbow Six but today they are sad shadows of what they used to be. This version is a generic on the rails cover-based shooter. Some mission demands that you do not alert anyone and for them you just order around your team mates to kill everyone. Not that hard as they are invisible to the enemy and can shoot straight trough walls. There is no tactical shooter element left in this game.
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Island Thunder
More missions that take you to Cuba and to act as a peacekeeping force that work by killing everyone.
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands
This is a open-world action game that someone stamped Ghost Recon on by mistake. Standard Ubisoft clear out regions gameplay where you hack computers, tag supplies and defend radio transmitters. Your invisible squadmates follow you around and point out targets like it's a escort mission with you as the VIP. Can be fun drive around and shoot up some places but it does not feel like ghost recon.
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six
First in the series of games about the Rainbow Six counter-terrorist unit All of them tactical shooters that focus on stealth and teamwork an all of them great fun to play cooperative multiplayer in. Before each mission you get a briefing where you can choose the operatives to use. Next is the planning phase where you can set-up paths and orders for the teams and finally you execute the mission and hope for the best. If all goes well a mission does not take to long but as the most common question in any Rainbow Six LAN event is 'did anyone see who killed us' a mission often takes a lot of practice.
For the story it is safe to ignore it, it's the same evil plot like in any other Tom Clancy book but without the 500 pages to get to the point. 
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3: Athena Sword
Expansion to Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield with new missions and weapons.
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield
Tactical first-person shooter in the Rainbow Six series.
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Mission Pack: Eagle Watch
Expansion for Rainbow six. More missions and guns.
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Lockdown
Rainbow six arcade style and the the nickname Rainbow Six: Letdown fits it well.
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear
Nice follow-up to rainbow six More missions and guns and really not that different from the first game.
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear Mission Pack: Urban Operations
Expansion pack to Rogue Spear with more missions.
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas
The Rainbow six team gies to Las Vegas in this game to battle international terrorist's. This game moves the Rainbow six series away from the world of Tactical shooters and more into any other first-person shooter. Changes include regenerating helth, no planning phase and lots more people to kill.
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas 2
More shooting in Vegas with the rainbow team. Nice but really stupid team AI sometimes. Moving tight in a groups might look cool but in this game they glue to you so much that you always walk into them. You can also stack up towards the doorways to peek inside but each time you do one of your team always takes position in front of the door. Stealth fail :(.
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell
Take the role of Sam Fisher, a NSA secret agent in this sneak-em-up game. Like in the game Thief you have a light meter that show how visible you are and a set of tools the help you stay hidden. For example night vision and a silenced assault rifle. The story is about another bomb, another mad man and another Tom Clancy style USA save the world story so nothing really new. The bad part about the game is that it is very simple and linear so unlike thief there is no need to explore or to find new and fun way to do things. Walk the line and kill them when they sleep.
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction
Sneak around and grab people and interrogation them with your fists. More shooting then it need to be in this game and to little gear to use.
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow
Second part in the splinter cell series and this time Sam is trying to stop some mad man from blowing up another bomb. Mad people and bombs don t mix that well
Tomb Raider
Nice polygon mesh (and feminist enemy num one) that watched to many replays of Indy when she grow up. I always play it safe when I play with Lara and save a lot as I get this strange urge to let her jump from all high places I can find.
Tomb Raider
Not bad but it's a bit too much a step away from the old games. They had more exploration and puzzles, and this new game is shooter in a Lara suit. The sliding down slopes and the running when things fall apart section got boring fast. Not much in way of tombs to speak of.
Tomb Raider II
More adventures with Lara. Not that bad but still no logic anywhere to be found. If I found a UZI clip in the tomb that been closed for 3000 years I would start to question the history of the world
Tomb Raider Legend
So the quick-time events are shit. They always are. 6 of 8 missions done. Then to much crashing to care anymore. Will get the rest of the story from some YouTube clip.
Tomb Raider: Chronicles
Everyone think that Lara is dead and her friends sit around the fire in her house and talk about her and you get to chance to play the missions that they talk about. Not that diffrent from the Last Revelation really
Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation
Our grave robber plunders another tomb and releases the god Set so he is free to destroy the world, not one of her best days. The game is then all about her trying to stop the evil god and her old mentor Von Croy who also have joined the dark side. We also get the chance to drive a jeep and a motorcycle.
Train Simulator 2013
Connect the wagons and drive your train along the landscape. Steam locomotives are nice as always but there is not much to do besides moving your camera around as you zip along the rail. So... gets boring really fast.
Trials Evolution
Racing game where you use a motorcycle to traverse an obstacle course. Looks 3D but the gameplay is in 2D. Four players is nice on the same screen.
Trine
Side-scrolling action and puzzle game where three characters get trapped in a magical artefact called the trine so only one of them can exist at the same time (unless you play multi player). You switch between the characters as you wish when playing and use each characters ability?s to solve puzzles. The thief has a bow and grappling hook, the knight has a sword and a shield and the wizard can use magic to move and create objects. The levels are really good looking and the puzzles are fun. I also like the epic voice overs at the start of each level :).
Turok: Dinosaur Hunter
Great movement controls and good weapons. I also liked the hub area where you use the keys you collect to unlock more jungle-based levels. Lot of jumping sometimes but the good control make it less painful.

Note about Movies: None of the Youtube movies that i link to are made by me and i include them only to give you a chance to see what the game looks like. Only the text and the smiley score act as my review of the game .
