No games. July and August are very poor shows.

A light Gun.
Speed kings. (big price drop, no surprise there)

Hey, I'm just giving some help. GamesTM obviously gave it 4/10 for some good reasons, but that's all I'm saying.

Leave it at that, eh?

There wil be something otherwise it would be a straight 9-10/10 game. It would be niave of anyone to think otherwise. However whether they stand out as much as some reviews suggest is another matter. It seemed that some reviews *coughigncough* were just looking for bugs rather than actually enjoying the game. One of the graphical bugs was so pathetic and I couldn't believe they had looked into it that much. It was about as ballanced as a 2 legged horse and I no longer have any patience for IGN and their out of sorts reviewers.

You won't find any. The game is so polished I have yet to find anything technical wrong with it.

Going to rent it tomorrow so watch out for my mini forum review of the game and what I think. For Mav's sake I will go through and look for bugs etc (unless they stand out like a saw thumb in which case the depth at which I search won't be as deep) and then put a balanced view on the game. The fact that a comment is made with such conviction without actually playing the game is quite funny though. From what I have read, watched and viewed as a screenshot I can definitley say that GamesTM are talking balls with their 4/10 non sense. Whether its an 8/10 game though is another matter and one which I can't wait to test out.

A balacned view of the game? HOW can you comment? You havn't played it. Not to mention you didn't even give people a balanced view, you told them to not be caught up in the praise which is in effect dismissing the game. I have said in many topics that it is worth a look, because it genuinly is a good game and if you too played it you would know its a classy, polished acrade squad based game, with some great production values. 4 outa 10 by GamesTM? I'm telling you thats bullsh**, one play of the game lets you know its much more deserving of a higher score than that.

£40 is a lot of money; would you like to see somebody waste it?

No, likewise I wouldn't want someone to miss out on a game they might otherwise have enjoyed.

You said it yourself;

"...considering some games which are supposedly 'top of the genre' don't get quite the same review averages..."
