STN Writes:
We should have seen the warning signs really; when a game from big names such as Bethedsa and inXile isn’t particularly hyped then generally you can smell trouble. While Hunted isn’t a bad game, it’s not the game we hoped it would be. If you are an RPG fan you will still love this adventure, however it’s certainly not up to the standards as games such as Oblivion, which just makes us pine for Skyrim even more.

"When you first started playing Spec Ops: The Line , you might feel that it’s just another brainless third person shooter, and some parts are kind of boring, that’s what I thought as well, but I was really into shooter games so I finished it and I was totally impressed by its story, don’t worry not spoilers, If you want to know why this game is on the list, and you are interested in good stories, go play it and pay attention to the plot, you will agree my opinion afterwards."
The Saboteur was great, nice art style and such a good soundtrack. Hunted was cool but very flawed.
Alice the Madness Returns is still really cool for those who like the premise. The original Dead Space holds up well. Catherine has aged incredibly well. The Suda 51 games are all still great if you can dig quirkiness (Shadows of the damned, Lollipop Chainsaw, Killer is dead). There are lots more, many have had remasters already though.
Totally agree, Alice the Madness Returns was good, and Split Second mentioned in the article was not bad as well
I always felt that Saboteur was under appreciated, I really did like that game a lot. It was a real shame when Pandemic got shut down.
New discounts for Bethesda games include Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition for Xbox 360 at $10.19, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Game of the Year Edition for as low as $11.58 and more.
Forbes: At the PAX East Composer’s Panel, an interesting question was posed to composer Kevin Riepl: aside from Aliens: Colonial Marines, had he ever poured so much time and work into a soundtrack only to have the game suck or go largely unnoticed? When a game does as poorly as Aliens: Colonial Maries did, critically, it’s very rare that people then attempt to hunt down the soundtrack. Likewise, when a game releases to a mediocre or lukewarm fanfare, the soundtrack rarely sees publication.
Out of 6 eh?
Who uses our of 6?
Does it really matter? Its not out of 6 anyway they use words to rate a game, the number is just added for people who like numbers (i.e those who only care about the score and not the review)

It's just confusing when it doesn't have to be. Just leave off the number and say, "It didn't suck." I'd respect that more that just throwing out a 4.
Another review not worth reading! If you like all kinds of RPGs then you will really enjoy this game! Oblivion was just another good game, nothing else, and surely I hope not a standard.
