 PokerStat Player Statistics Single View help screen   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
For example, if this player folds their blind 90% (out of a sample set of say 493 full table hands) of the time to a steal raise, you should usually raise when you're first to act in a full handed table in late position when this player is in the big blind.
This is calculated by taking the times a player bets or raises on the flop and shows down and wins only, divided by the times player bets or raises on the flop and shows down and both wins or loses.
Also, if a player goes all-in and wins part of a high only pot, but another player wins the rest with a second-best hand, the all-in player is counted as scooping the pot, while the player who won the second-best hand is counted as not winning anything for the purposes of calculating this statistic.

 Review - Doom III: Single-Player // PC /// Eurogamer
Still, you can't help but smile as your grizzled, muscle bound marine arrives at work, faced with orders to go and see his superior, assorted grunting co-workers and jobsworths barking at you to get a move on or moaning about their lot at the UAC base.
Forcing the player to ditch their weapon every time they need to illuminate the proceedings just seems daft - at least id could have compromised and made certain weapons one-handed (like the pistol or hand grenades).
What many players will certainly end up arguing long and hard into the night over is whether Doom III's ostensibly old school, simple gameplay was the right direction to go in.

 Review - Halo 2 Single Player // Xbox /// Eurogamer
But even when the game's not breaking off into another cut scene extravaganza, the sheer variety in the AI dialogue is consistently surprising, adding another layer to what might otherwise just descend into a straightforward 'clear the room and move onto the next wave' gameplay that Halo is so evidently built around.
It's like being the boss monster for a change, and the first time you strap up in one of these bad boys is likely to have you grinning ear to ear as you wreak havoc with anything thrown at you.
It's very clear, having played through all 15 chapters (12 hours on Normal is probably a fair guess) that it's a much more consistent, more exciting game than the original with far less of the moody tedium that blighted the middle section of the original.
