So for those not in the know, GiantBomb, my favorite gaming site, recently was purchased by CBS Interactive and is now a part of Gamespot. I was a little worried at first because, well, they kind of left Gamespot to make GiantBomb, and that sort of indie "we do whatever we want" mentality has been why the site has always been so great. That and Quick Looks. Quick Looks are eternally useful (and usually hilarious).But it seems everything will end up alright, so I wish the very best to the Bombarders in their new offices. Keep the magic coming, guys.
So this week I reviewed what I thought were overrated games and then did a Prince of Persia binge on Sunday because...why not? I didn't get all the overrated games I intended to, but I did hit the big three I really wanted to review, so we'll leave it at that.
It was 13 reviews this week, pushing us up to 115 grand total. Not as much as usual, but in personal life this week was pretty crap, so hopefully the next one will go better.
I am uncertain what to do for next week's "theme." It was going to be "Underrated Games" (and still might be), but that theme can only go so far. So currently it's just going to be random slush that I review when I think of it (probably some JRPGs, retro PC games, and maybe some others). I am also considering booting up my windows and burning through my massive collection of PC Indie games and giving them reviews (as well as Xbox Live Indie Games), so we could have an Indie week. Maybe we'll do that this week anyway. Who knows.
Anyway, here's this week's batch.
Assassin's Creed - 2 / 5 Stars
Final Fantasy VII - 3 / 5 Stars
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 - 2 / 5 Stars
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - 3 / 5 Stars
Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty - 4 / 5 Stars
New Super Mario Bros Wii - 3 / 5 Stars
Prince of Persia: Warrior Within - 4 / 5 Stars
Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones - 4 / 5 Stars
Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands - 4 / 5 Stars
Prince of Persia - 5 / 5 Stars
You all have a great week.
