Hit Or Miss: Jan. 2010

Time after time again, big A-list games come out and flop horribly and maybe do good in a niche audience but to the gaming public are seen as a failure or a "bomb". We will analyze one game from every platform every month and give you our ideas on if it's a hit or a miss based on our impressions of the game and its competition. You leave your opinions and comments and tell us what your hits and misses are! It's a fun game we play no? Lets get started...

This article has very poor taste.

I think all are hits really, at least if Heavy Rain actually pulls off what's it's been aiming for, seriously though, how the HECK can you discredit a sequel of No More Heroes?

I kind of agree because I will be buying mass effect on Tuesday and will rent heavy rain because I want to see what its like. I may buy it later after playing it, but it doesnt come out till Feb. anyways. He should have used MAG since it actually is in JAn. If I had a wii Id atleast rent NMH2, it looks crazy.

Im sure there are plenty of people looking forward to all these games and I would get them all if I had a wii and extra money.

I just feel that their are other heavy hitters that people are willing to try instead of No more Heroes and it kinda came out of nowhere, where as Tatsundo VS Capcom has been hyped alot and the lack of a SFIV on the WII will prolly push the sales of that one further than No More Heroes 2

[Solidus187-SCMilk]

that NMH2 will be over shadowed by NSB and TvsC.

Heavy Rain comes out in February.

[Myst]

Yeah I was wondering that to, be nice if it came out at the end of the month though :).

So, the author hasn't played either Heavy Rain or Mass Effect 2... but is able to deem what is a hit and miss? I thought you were giving "your impressions," not basing a bullsh1t article on the pre-release impressions of others. Idiots.

Journalism folks. Gotta love it.

Are you serious?

Heavy Rain is a miss even though you haven't played it and seem to know f*ck all about it?

[tjones68]

hahahahahahaha. i literally dont even know what to say.... since when did ppl with down syndrome start making articles? honestly? the game doesnt come out til next month, and he forgot about a huge game this month....mag. i hate ppl

[ShadyDevil]

Seriously i didnt mention MAG because i knew it would be a hit. Im sorry i offended people by doing this article.

[ArchangelMike]

Then why did you not use MAG in your article if you thought it was a 'Hit'. Why set yourself up for epic FAIL, by calling 'miss' on a game you know you haven't played, and for which you have not done your research?

Heavy Rain will garner critical acclaim! It will not sell the same numbers as Mass Effect2, but it definately will not be a 'miss'! The first review is already in from the UK Official Playstation Magazine, and it scored a 9/10. Other sites that have had hands-on time with the game have all reported favourable experiences. The game will most likely score between 7 - 9 when reviewed, which most definately is not a 'miss'!

I disagree with NMH2 being a 'miss,' saleswise. I, honestly, think it's going to sell rather well. It might not sell insanely Day 1, because of all the games coming out the same day (Honestly, the people buying it are already split between this game and Seahorse v Capcom for Day 1 buy), but it'll sell well overall.

I don't even have a PS3, but I'm a huge fan of cinematic games, and I think that Heavy Rain has potential to be a step forward for the games industry. Heavy Rain proves that games don't always have to be about action or some sort of crazy adventure; they can be used to tell a story in a way that movies and books are incapable of.

Atleast someone has some sense.

ShadyDevil, you are a n00b.
