Wowee!

What a great month for games. Five 9's?! You'd be gutted if you ended up with Two Worlds with all these great games out!

[ezee ryder]

8 for PGR4 not a bad score but I expected at least a 9 from all the good things I have been hearing.

[ChrisF]

Is Two Worlds really as bad as Street Trace NYC? That's pretty shocking if true! Bit of a low score for Stranglehold? What did they have to say about it?

[QualityChimp]

8 for PGR4 not a bad score but I expected at least a 9 from all the good things I have been hearing.

I'm sorry ezee, but this means you have to buy a game rated higher. Maybe buy Skate, but make car noises as you're playing it.

*Brrrrrrmmmmm*
*honk honk*

I sense sarcasm. I am still getting PGR4 (I love the series), I am just slightly surprised at the GamesTM score. Oh and I have skate already

I think Stranglehold got the score it probably deserved, it is just a mindless shooter which gets kinda repetitive and frustrting after a while.

[Brad]

So GamesTM and Edge both Agree that Lair is 3/10. Oh well

Fair enough! Still waiting for my copy to arrive (gamestation website order = slowest thing on the face of the planet).

[Champloo]

Folklore looked really nice, was interested in that, almost enought to tempt me towards a PS3.

[MattyD]

Bit of a low score for Stranglehold? What did they have to say about it?

Variously:

Stranglehold doesn't have any source material and yet manages to feel like an underwhelming adaptation of a movie that doesn't exist.

It's Max Payne with more enemies. Max Payne is six years old. That's not good enough.

[jimmbob]

It's doesn't have any source material? Interesting.
I'm enjoying it btw. It can be a bit tough, I suppose they've had trouble getting past the pussy filters in it!

[Ian(not Ian)]

GamesTM over-rating games again.
A 2 for Two Worlds for goodness sake.

[Yoshimax]

You saying it's worth more ? From what I'm hearing it's a disgrace.

Lair's taking a right kicking - I can't believe somebody didn't pull the rug on it earlier (I also didn't realise Sony were calling it a "second generation big hitter" along with Heavenly Sword - oh dear).

[Number45]

I really wish they'd get a demo for Lair out. Given some of the more favourable impressions on here I really want to try it, but I'm not going to fork out on the risk of me not getting on with the controls.

And I think he suggested that a two is too high for Two Worlds, not too low.

[Mayhem]

Better score for Metroid... given the very good marks for Skate, I might have to now check it out... will it be out for other than 360 and PS3?
