New combat ideas mix with hoary old story cliches

The world is a stage, and we are merely players

With a veritable army of characters, has the flashy fighter become too big?

And the beat drags on...

A pot of old(-school) at the end of this Rainbow

Micro-transactions? Square’s taking us for a ride

Or: the lengths people will go to avoid cleaning their desk

A pain in the (yes!) neck…

A sheepskin in wolves' clothing

Party like it’s 1989? Oh, we did that one before

Behold the WiiWare ratrace...

Papering over the cracks

Or whatever it takes to get away from it

Lara goes shopping in the petite section

In an emergency situation, who are you gonna call? The Ghostbusters? Ninja Cat? Jimmy Saville? Whoever it is, just make sure that it isn’t Raymond Bryce, star of Disaster: Day of Crisis.

Why does this game even exist? We’ve done nothing to hurt THQ

Not necessarily an elementary game

See a new side of enemies. The inside...

Could also be known as Fleaflicker

Look familiar? Chalk it up to experience

More weirdly compelling than it has any right to be

See if you can choke this down
