[size=29]Payday: The He!st[/h] [size=8](its supposed to be an "i", hueuheh get it)[/h]
[My short-ish review/introduction below.]
Payday was made by a Swedish based 'out-of-nowhere' game development company named "Overkill".
released: October 20, 2011 for PC; October 18, 2011 for North American PSN; and November 2, 2011 for PSN in Europe.
Characters
This game feature a very likeable cast of characters (from left to right on the topic picture):
Dall
as, the all 'Murican smooth talker;
, the Australian sneak with a keen eye;
Wolf, the shaky technician who loves making things to boom;
Chains, The former army soldier who loves leading the charge;
and Bain, the mastermind behind it all.
The characters themselves have quick witty banter between each other, and if you pay attention enough, you'll learn who has a special bond with one another (e.g. Wold and Hoxton).
The enemies are varied and distinct from one another; you'll know when normal officers come to stop your heist, you'll know when SWAT comes to stop your heist, you'll know when the army comes to stop your heist.
Gameplay
The gameplay is quite solid, but the game is sometimes harder then it should be to play offline; team A.I. is a little... Iffy.
At first, your guns will be a little inaccurate and run out of ammo quickly, but as your weapon upgrades (through playing and not through buying upgrades), the guns becomes more reliable.
The missions in BOTH Payday games are varied. It might seem that they would just be rob X bank for its Y and escape, but the missions are incredibly varied!
There are some points in the game that are anger inducing, but overall, it is very fun to rob and heist all sorts of levels and banks with your friends. Did I mention this games co-op is amazing?

[size=29]Payday 2[/h]Out now!
[very short review below]
After the release of Payday 1, the team of Overkill realized that Payday 1 had a cult following. With Payday 1's great teamwork, fun levels, and awesome secrets, it sold quite well.
So... Sequel!
Payday 2 takes place in Washington DC (a state in the USA where most political stuff happens), Most all of the characters return in the game to steal all sorts of things.
The gameplay has partially: you can now board up windows to block incoming fire, carrying huge bads filled with gold actually weighs you down, stealth plays a MUCH bigger role, and you can actually shop for weapons at your own leisure.
[skipping the review]
overall, Payday 2 is very good, but it is still very anger inducing playing offline.
