I absolutely love this game! It's amazing! I've played it all the way through two times, and it still doesn't fail to scare me! I love how you have to actually use your head to try and solve the problems that the game presents! Everything about this game is purely amazing! Playing alone in the dark makes it even more exhilarating! There was one or two points in the game where I just had to plug in my iPod and play my "happy music," tons of fun!

I enjoy playing all of the "Dash" games and for $19.95 I expected a lot more then what I got with this game. While it was fun it didn't have as many options as other "Dash" games. Playing about an hour a day it took me less than a week to get through it.

For the most part this is a great game. There are some things that annoy me, however. One: entering dollar amounts in a trade can only be done with the up and down arrows. It would be nice if one could enter a dollar amount with the keyboard. The other is that the sounds get incredibly repetitive. Mute!

Butcher Bay alone is worth the money. The voice acting, story, and gameplay are all top-notch. Dark Athena gets a bad rap, but it's actually decent. It doesn't match BB in innovation, but it's still fun with great action. Very worthwhile purchase.

At first it looks promising, and it is a lot of fun and challenging, until you realize that you'll never get anywhere. As you try to advance to the higher levels, you have to first get through a series of sub levels. Sounds normal for most games right? The catch here is that if you're, for instance, at level 6-1, and you advance all the way to 6-5, you might slip up and make a mistake on level 6-5. Now, instead of the game starting you over on THAT level, which seems fair, it takes you all the way back to level 6-1! Which means the effort you put in level 6-1, 6-2, 6-3, and 6-4, means nothing! I've never played a game that rewards you so little like this. It's kind of pointless to even put forth the effort to play.

Im running arkham asylum on a mid 2009 mbp 2.53ghz 9400m and it runs pretty darn flawlessly. Supposedly my graphics card is not supported, but the game runs smoothly and there are no apparent problems. Controls are simple enough to get a grasp of, and using your mouse and keyboard for controls feels quite natural compared to a controller. i've already beaten this game on 360 a while back but felt compelled to purchase it for my mbp, trust me, its that good!

Conviction does not particularly distinguish itself above other shooters available. It's fun, but not noteworthy. It's stealth element, while a pleasing twist, does not make up for an absolutely terrible story and otherwise acceptable but not incredible gameplay.

Conviction is not like previous titles in the series. Stealth is still a focus but you are no longer exclusively in the shadows - you're encouraged to draw attention to yourself, you can reveal yourself, and you interact with the AI purely through violence. You will not slip past enemies, nor will you attempt to distract, mislead, or incapacitate them. In this way Conviction is a cover-based shooter with plenty of gadgets and a stealth element. It is not, however, the type of shadow-stalking that one associates with the Splinter Cell series and anyone going in expecting a continuation of the series, or at all a similar title, will be disappointed.

The game ran well-enough on my dual-core 3.6GHz i5 but it still slowed down in areas and the always on-line component was an inconvenience that, while not constant, still had a habit of reminding me it was there.

If you're in-between games, Conviction is short enough not to overwhelm you but entertaining enough to keep you interested. If you can't decide between Conviction and any other game, however, I'd probably advise that you skip this one.

This was one of my favorite games to play after a long day at work for a LONG time. The levels increase in difficulty, but one of the best things is you can replay any level to try and improve your score. Fun and not too challenging when you're tired.
