Infinity Blade

Average User Score: 7.8

User Score 10

This game is awesome. It's easy to pick up and play, offers plenty of replayability because of the high priced weapons and arena combat, and has pretty slick multiplayer. The graphics are only outmatched by the upcoming sequel, Infinity Blade 2.… Expand

Magic: The Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012

Average User Score: 5.3

User Score 1

This game is absolutely nothing like the card game. First of all, there is no deck building. You unlock starter decks and slowly unlock better cards for those. The enemies in the campaign apparently get even the locked cards, so unless you only use one deck throughout the game you will consistently lose. One of my biggest peevs however, was that grand story you see in the opening scene, is not the plot of the campaign. There is no plot to the campaign. All it is is a series of unconnected battles. They could've done alot better with this game without that much effort, but this is just lazy.… Expand

Gears of War 3

Average User Score: 7.5

User Score 8

This game is amazing. The campaign is mostly conclusive, the Horde, Multiplayer and Beast modes are some of the most inginuitive I've ever seen. My only complaint is that the ending seems rushed. By the end of the game, I expected to keep going and figure out why a certain character we first saw in GoW2 is so human-like, but all you get is a "nope, nothing unusual here, just another character." answer. Maybe It'll be answered better in future DLC.… Expand

Captain America: Super Soldier

Average User Score: 5.7

User Score 0

This game is absolutely the worst I've ever played, between framerate drops and terrible writing, animations that would be okay 5 years ago, and the complete lack of compelling gameplay, I think paid way too much when I picked this up out of the bargain bin. I mean come on, this is disgraceful. This game is a great example of how almost every marvel game SEGA has ever made is bad. This game was obviously a complete rush, I'm guessing maybe half a year to make, compared to the normal 2 or more year development cycle great or even average games take to make.… Expand

Red Faction: Armageddon

Average User Score: 7.5

User Score 5

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game has pretty good graphics, good but repetitive gameplay, very similar levels, and an amazing physics engine. The largest reason to buy the game is its destruction engine. The largest turn off is its plot. The plot starts strong, but near the end, Kara, the one character who makes the plot bearable, dies, and at the worst possible time too. Darius is a very simple, boring, and dumb character, he doesnt seem to mind when his friends die, or when he unleashes the bugs on people. Kara is an interesting character, but she is hardly there for most of the game. Frank is pretty much the stereotypical soldier, think carbon copy of Johnson from Halo. The ending doesnt even resolve most of the problems and the villains dont seem to think about plans. IE how did Hale think a bunch of homicidal bugs were going to somehow propel him to the seat of planetary ruler? Also, the audio logs tell a much more interesting story, but you cant follow up on that one. You get stuck with the simple bug hunt plot. All in all, this game will probably entertain you for a couple of hours, then you will regret the purchase. PS this game doesnt have an open world setting or emphasis on vehicles like Guerrilla did. Most people, including me, think this is a HUGE step backwards for the series, as Guerrilla had these, and a better, if simpler, plot.… Expand
