Perhaps one of the saddest stories this year was the lack of commercial success for Child of Eden.
Jack writes: "“Are video games art?” This is a perennial argument, one with staunch advocates on both sides who are hard to sway. Naysayers, though, can be shown examples of art in video games that are hard to deny – such as the visuals of the sadly overlooked Child of Eden, released for Kinect in 2011."

Neil writes: "It seems rather strange to be saying this but 2017 is fast coming to a close. Before we start to party the night away and usher in 2018 though, the Xbox Games With Gold scheme has got one last surprise up its sleeve - four free games being gifted to all Xbox One and Xbox 360 players.
But hot on the heels of November’s offerings that delivered so much (or at least three of the four did), can the free titles being given away during the month of December match up to the quality, or are we being sent a few duds that refuse to let us go out with a bang? We take a look at the good, the tempters and the, well, ugly."
I purchased BTTF on PS3 at the tail end of the system's life. I enjoyed Episode 1 but life went on and I never finished. I'm actually pretty psyched about getting that one.
You should definitely play Back to The Future. No matter what reviewers say, I really enjoyed this game. The story is awesome and the twist is just heartbreaking.
well that is a sad mistake on their part. This was a perfect $30 game, not $50. And having is downloadable would have really helped push the sales.
I am going to predict thatit will be downloadable by tear end. What I can not predict is the price point.
It's odd the way they priced the game, pretty much killed it at retail. Then they've priced the PS3 version correctly, but, released it after the 360 version meaning the hype it had is gone.
my personal GOTY... sure it wasn't ptised correctly, but other thing, I think people maybe should bought it more if there was at least more couple of levels
Thanks venox :) I am buying it on the same day as the Team ICO collection, so I will play Child of Eden first :)
It should of been a Xbla/psn title at around $25/£15 and it would probably have sold well as an impulse buy. I will wait for the bargain bin.
