We rate the most exciting prospects with presumptious insolence

Battlefield: Bad Company | Digital Illusions CE
Xbox 360, PlayStation 3

Our own hands-on experience and some impressive gameplay footage provide more than enough evidence that DICE has the freedom of destruction thing sorted. And with the developer's background in expansive, all-action gunfests, Battlefield: Bad Company is destined for big things.

But will it sell?
With the weight of EA's monstrous marketing budget behind Bad Company, the only way is up (the charts).

Knee-jerk verdict
The successfully integrated destruction and DICE's skilled gunplay action make Battlefield: Bad Company one of the games of the year. 10/10

Note: Please remember that these these 'reviews' are merely lighthearted scores based on nothing but our own arrogant prejudice and opinonated ego. Duh. We will review the game fully when it is released.
