Bulletstorm (Xbox 360): Bulletstorm review
the review pretty much confirmed what i already new,the demo was great addictive point scoring fun and felt very unique in what is now an oversaturated FPS market,some people didnt like it but thats probaly because they were crap at it or didnt know how to play it,i certaintly didnt the first couple of goes

Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds (Xbox 360): Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds review
How can this possibly be better than MvC2?,answer=it isnt,the graphics although smooth still lack the style and appeal of the old 2D hand drawn sprites and i dont like the character models,the gameplay mechanics have also been watered down significantly from MvC2 and obviously features a smaller roster but the biggest disappointment has to be the fact that you cant watch other people play in the winner stays on mode,instead your forced to watch players energy bars drop which is about as exciting as watching grass grow rendering this mode pretty pointless,very strange omission to have,dont get me wrong this is still a great fighting game and you will enjoy every minute playing but is inferior to MvC2 in everyway

Enslaved: Odyssey to the West (Xbox 360): Enslaved: Odyssey to the West super review
this game is a missed opportunity,the combat is far too simplistic with little need to go back to the game after completion,you will be content for the 8 hours it lasts but due to a lack of new moves and finishers to learn thiers little to no replayability which is unacceptable for £40,Castelvania has load of combos but the combat lacks punch with an pretty lame move set and a lack of visceral combat,the chain in NG2 is much more impressive to weild and is only one weapon of many,NG2 and Bayonetta are still the only action titles worth picking up,with a bit more effort applied to the fighting this could have been brilliant because the combat is satisfing with some great camera work and animation,shame

what a shame,the one thing that worried me about the demo was that the combat looked far too simplistic with a few cool finishing moves happeneing automatically(which i hate)and was hoping in the full title you would unlock flashy combos and finishing moves to perform yourself but in an interview the devs said gamers prefer it simple,what load of pish,having lots of cool looking moves to learn is what keeps games like this fresh and worth replaying,now i know thats the case i"ll be picking up Castlevania instead

Rumour: Marvel vs Capcom 3 announcement imminent
its good news as long as thier talking about a true 2D handdrawn sequel,something to match blazblue graphically and not just a variation of the 3D streetfighterIV engine which i think was shit and inferior to HDremix

3 weeks, 6 days ago Why Hitman Absolution may not be the Hitman game you want. Or a Hitman game at all
great article,good to see a journo who has the balls to say what every loyal longterm Hitman fan has been thinking,the more cinematic story focused comments certainly has me worried,the game has always been about large expansive sandbox areas where story was left on the backburner and the player was just dropped into one of these realistic enviroments and left to his own devices deciding on his own navigation and when and where to take out the target,from what ive seen this has all been dumped in favour of an A to B system,the game has never been designed for hand holding casual gamers and thats the main reason it has gained such a loyal fanbase,if this turns out to be the case its most likely going to alienate the fans and end up one dead duck
