Gamers Temple: Rise of the Argonauts seemed like a no-brainer. A classic story, swords, boats, Greece, gods and monsters… what could go wrong? Unfortunately, the game just didn't gel into one piece of entertainment; instead, it felt like a bunch of unfinished pieces of other games, smooshed together and sent to stores without much oversight in the quality department. This one might be worth it as a rental or off the bargain shelf, but paying full price probably isn't worth it, even your name does happen to be Jason (like me). In "Birdhouse in Your Soul," a song by They Might Be Giants, John Linnell sings, "After killing Jason off and countless screaming Argonauts." If an '80s rock band couldn't do it, Codemasters shouldn't be able to either. The band of Argonauts have been through worse than this game and stuck around in the collective unconscious, lets hope whomever grabs the reins next time does a little better job.
You can pay what you want for Overlord, its Raising Hell DLC, Operation Flashpoint: Red River, Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, and Rise of the Argonauts. Paying $6 or more gets you Overlord II, DiRT Showdown, and DiRT 3.
Letting an aggregate review score from sites like Metacritic become the sole dictator of your buying decisions is sure to make you miss out on a lot of fun, unique experiences.
With Valentine's Day weekend now upon us, what better way to honour all the love-laden gamers out there than to take a look back on the greatest romances found on the Xbox 360.
Love is both an incredible gift and a burdening beast. It is a joy that gives wonderful memories or a cruel mistress that demands incredible sacrifice. Love can make you feel like you have everything in the world or that you have nothing left to cherish. Although these five examples of love are different in almost every way, these couples portray the power of love better than the rest.
Enjoy !
