Tron: Evolution - 2 "Bland, unimaginative and poorly executed"

Just like the movie.

 

[threenote]

too little too late, I say.

Michael Jackson: The Experience - 2 "More exploitation than experience"

What's a man gotta do to get a good Michael Jackson game around here?

Happy about the good score for GT5.

Submit Moonwalker for review again.

The features are a joy to read. Always great interviews and a hefty retro section that is always interesting to browse. 10/10 :lol

Golden Sun: Dark Dawn - 8 "Worth the wait"

I'm surprised everytime I see this game get good scores, it is such a boring game imo : I No challenge whatsoever and the puzzles are mind numbingly easy and that along with a boring cast of characters, shallow character customization and a story that barely manages to make me care the slightest makes for a poor game overall : ( Heard so much good about the two prior games so I'm really disappointed in this game, I was really hoping for a good RPG to finish of what has otherwise been an excellent year for portable roleplaying.

Sound to me like the first game. I don't get the Golden Sun love.

 

[zoukka]

They looked great, played fast and were portable. There's the secret.

 

[2San]

They looked great, played fast and were portable. There's the secret.

Not to mention Golden Sun was an actual new RPG that wasn't a port. :O

 

[Moobabe]

I have EVERY issue! Not had much of a chance to look through this months what with the christmas madness having set in but there looks to be some excellent stuff in there.

 

[PeteJ]

My one and only feature* was published in gamesTM, so I have a soft spot for it. Glad it is doing well and competing next to Edge (when the likes of Arcade failed).

*Issue 13 - about import gaming.

 

[Ratrat]

Malicious - 8 "Well worth seeking out"

nice score there

Arcade was quite a good read, but GamesTM is leagues ahead of most of the other (failed) magazines that deserved to succeed. It has more variety than Edge, more interesting features of late and the reviews are much more informative, even though I disagree with them quite regularly.

I subscribe to this and Retrogamer, both complement each other nicely.

Need For Speed Hot Pursuit - 8 "The best online single-player game ever"

That's a bold statement when they only gave it an 8.

 

[faridmon]

That's a bold statement when they only gave it an 8.

Its not when you consider that Online single player is very specific to the over all package. In fact, I would say its a feuture most games don't have.

 

[Corto]

Great, great interview with CD Projekt RED's Senior Producer about the upcoming Witcher 2 in this issue. Just great journalism there and so much interesting info on their history and some details on developing Witcher 2. Get this mag!

 

[Stink]

Its not when you consider that Online single player is very specific to the over all package. In fact, I would say its a feuture most games don't have.

Didn't they give Demon's Souls 10/10 and GOTY though?

 

[Corto]

Didn't they give Demon's Souls 10/10 and GOTY though?

Maybe not the same reviewer.

 

[ULTROS!]

I wish someone will bring over Malicious.

Lots of games have leaderboards. The stuff in NFS is just more elaborate.

 

[SolidSnakex]

I wish someone will bring over Malicious.

Alvion mentioned in October that they were looking into a Western release, but they didn't have any details at the moment.

 

[Shiv47]

This is a good magazine. The iPad digital edition is a pleasure to browse through.

 

[faridmon]

Maybe not the same reviewer.

and myabe not the same online single player structure. Comparing between those two games is very arbitrary.

 

[Drunkenthumbmaster]

Happy about the good score for GT5.

Why are you happy about the score for GT5 it's been out long enough for you to judge it on your own why does a Mag score make you happy. Not just you I see this type of comment a lot I don't get it.

 

[louie]

Just like the movie.

Maybe so but unimaginative is not a word i would associate with the movie.

 

[spats]

Wow.

I'm happy because they took their time to review it, and in my mind Polyphony deserves it instead of some hitgrab review that covers 15% of the game and gives a low score because the reviewer isn't aware of most of the features that are in the game. And why do you care if I care about some game getting a good score? :lol

 

[Ken Masters]

can someone explain this "online SP" for NFS

 

[SolidSnakex]

can someone explain this "online SP" for NFS

They're referring to Autolog. It continually updates you whenever someone on your friends list beats your time in a certain section of the game.

 

[Tain]

Splatterhouse - 4 "Proof that some retro games are buried for a reason"

kinda wondering the reasons, here.

I don't care much about the new Splatterhouse game, but they'd be crazy (or very ignorant) to claim that the new game plays like the original Splatterhouse games and that the original games are deeply flawed.

 

[kanugo]

Good news: I bought a one year's subscription.

Bad news: It only starts on Issue 105.

So I'll have to buy this one separately.

 

[Grimmy]

Sound to me like the first game. I don't get the Golden Sun love.

Agreed. Truly execrable series.

 

[Kagari]

Just like the movie.

:lol At least the soundtrack in the movie was good.
