Currierox says "So just like clockwork a new film hits the big screens and along with it comes the obligatory video game cash in. Rushed out to quickly ride the hype gathered around whatever movie or property is the in thing at the moment. Now we are right to be wary whenever we see a movie licensed game hit the shelf but every once in a while it is done right and we get a nice companion to the film. RIPD fits into the former, I haven’t even seen the film and can see that this title screams rush job. So let’s get into it shall we."

Not satisfied with just giving fans good game deals on the PSN store, Atlus is putting up four games up for discount in Amazon's Mayhem sales event.
Baden of WGB talks about the top three worst games he had to play in 2013: "Having published the list of my favourite games from 2013 it made sense that I sit before my keyboard once more and write out a brief post talking about what I view as the three worst games I played in 2013, all while nursing a hangover. Yup, New Year’s Eve was….actually it was a really quiet night thanks to a mix of terrible weather and everyone cancelling their party plans. The hangover stems from a night spent watching stupid videos with my family, drinking cider and eating Haribo."
Nothing I played in 2013 could come close to the sheer frustration of playing Amy near the start of 2013. My freaking God, that game was truly, truly terrible.
VG - Wanna know why licensed movie games have such a bad reputation? It’s because of steaming piles of shit like R.I.P.D.: The Game. Pardon my French.
Based on the critically hammered summer flick of the same name starring Hollywood heavyweights Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges, R.I.P.D. — short for Rest in Peace Department – is the product of a continued relationship between Atlus and Old School Games. Earlier in the year, Atlus and Old School teamed up on the digitally downloadable God Mode, a mindlessly fun throwback game that distills the spirit of games like Serious Sam and Unreal Tournament and Painkiller into a co-op wave survival shooter set in sort of a warped version of Greek mythology. (I spent quite a bit of time with it and intended to give it a review, but other things came up and I had to prioritize.)
