"Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor is a glorious failure, a noble attempt to reconcile the previously disconnected casual and hardcore camps."
Eurogamer:
"Heavy Armor might be the perfect Kinect game, or at least, the most honest, because it reveals how interesting life can be when technology gets in your way. Green-lighted way back when Kinect was known as Project Natal, the game posits a near-future in which a silicon-guzzling microbe has devoured every computer on the planet, setting back the science of combat to roundabouts the close of the first world war. Deprived of GPS, drones and other decadent trappings of 21st century warfare, the Earth's nations are obliged to duke it out in gas-powered mechs or "vertical tanks" that handle as elegantly as elephants in high heels."
And the reason that it was one of From Soft's worst games is that it was tied to poor game accessory.
As much as I like From's Souls games, I'm hoping they release another Armored Core at some point.
...just had to throw that out there
It always seems like the video game industry can’t go a single week without handling death threats of some sort. At this point, they almost come with the territory for game developers, critics, or anyone else a select few people don’t like. However, the only way a person who receives death threats can combat them is by doing absolutely nothing.

We've compiled a list of these aberrations so that you don't ever have to play them yourself."
I really thought the picture of the horse was a real game. Not even sure why I'm disappointed it isn't ;/ Also, Survivor? What's the real aim of the game? Survive the opening credits?
duke nukem forever should of made the list, a game 10yrs in developement and ended up looking like a 2000 title.
LOL..I called this review from these guys a long time ago..jackpot.

You guys have NEVER seen me talk bad about Kinect. I was probably among the few that said "give it a chance" Even after Rise of Nightmare came out.
THIS was the ONE game I waited for with Kinect. But once I played the demo I knew my faith in Kinect and Steel Battalion was a bad call. So yes, NOW (after holding off due to faith) I've already sold my Kinect and the few games I had for it.
You can only have faith in it so long before you say enough is enough. It just doesn't work for the normal games. And I don't have kids at my place to use it for all those kiddie games. So, off it went.
