EA Share Prices Fall on the Back of Middling Medal of Honor Review Scores

By Geoffrey Tim

5

There are some who contest that arbitrary review scores don’t really matter, and that it’s the meat of the review that counts. I’m one of those people. Apparently, I’m pretty damned wrong because it looks like they do. A lot. The game has been receiving a mixed bag of good to mediocre reviews – and it’s directly affected EA’s share …

Are games just getting better and better?

Metacritic has released their stats for the first 6 months of this year and when compared to last year the results are quite astounding. Last year the top scoring game for the first 6 months was Street Fighter IV which scored a respectable 94%… Personally I find that far to high for a simple fighting game (with a deep fighting …

After seeing a Great White Shark in our last In Other News post, Rajollie, a terrified reader requested “boobies” for the next header instead of another scary-ass creature. We couldn’t let a poor fear-stricken reader down now could we? Being a gaming site, we can’t just put up random boobs images without any sort of relation to gaming, *cough* what …

Hot or Not? Heavy Rain Meta-Madness

By Nick De Bruyne

The first reviews for Heavy Rain are rolling in and so I decided to give them all a look to see how things are going. A lot of the reviews are saying that Heavy Rain isn't really a game, but more of an interactive movie experience, and a lot are quick to point out that this isn't necessarily a bad thing. I must say that my excitement for Heavy Rain has been building up very steadily over the last couple of months and I can't wait to get my hands on the game. Let's have a look at how it's doing. The current Metacritic rating for Heavy Rain is sitting on 93/100 with its highest review score coming from the Official US Playstation Magazine with a sparkling 10/10. The lowest score comes from PSM3 Magazine UK who have given it an 88/100 and say that "It's essentially a nine-hour film that you nudge along by following on-screen button prompts, although you feel more connected with the action than this might suggest." Heavy Rain seems to be something new and different, which means that I am all for it. GamePro had the following to say about Heavy Rain, which I found quite interesting: It's barely a game in the popular sense of the word, but Quantic Dream's masterpiece makes groundbreaking strides in storytelling and character development, demonstrating that interactive entertainment still has a deep well of untapped potential. This game has really got me interested, even if people are saying that it's more of an interactive story than anything, I like where it's going. What about you guys? Who's getting it on day one? Anyone not interested or having second thoughts? Comment below.

Dante's Inferno Arriving With Mixed Reviews

By Nick De Bruyne

22

Thanks to all of EA’s marketing stunts that include crazy sin-based promo items involving cheques for lots of money and expensive superbowl advertising fiascos, you have most probably already heard of Dante’s Inferno. The biggest thing that I have heard about the game through and through is that the game is a blatant, unashamed rip-off of God of War, in …
