Haha, 5/10 for Child of Light.

Nice score for Mario Kart 8 though, kinda encouraging.

[Lebowski]

They complain about child of light being too easy, nob heads, its a game that's meant to be shared with your kids not bloody dark souls, my daughter and i would give it a ten, it really is that good the battles are snappy and she loves zooming about collecting the wishes and slowing down the enemy as the firefly.

[BaronSqwelch]

Moaning about difficulty eh?...Kirby gets a 7! Is it actually possible to lose a life in this one?

The 5 for Mercenary Kings is 5 too many imo

[charlesr]

Kinect sport rivals... They must have liked some of it for a 5/10. Anyone know why it scored so high?

[Family Fry]

They basically said Rare has done a good job in all areas but again the kinect hardware lets them down.

Mario Kart excitement levels building...

When are they going to give up on this kinect bollocks? A flagship title for the much maligned hardware that fails to impress despite a pretty long delay too, and it's still bab. no wonder so many gamers don't want ti or aren't interested in it.

[dataDave]

Wouldn't you have expected the Kinect 2 to be better than the first one? I thought this new one was meant to be the nuts with X-Ray vision and nasal hair tracking and everything?

[Mr Ono]

Thought it could track your heartbeat from 50 paces.

But then again, it was always going to struggle to beat the ability to interact with Milo the first one had.

[ozzzy189]

It was on of the reasons I jumped ship after ten years of Xbox.

I had a lot of fun with PS Move because it worked. Not as ambitious as kinect of course but it worked. Think Sony have plans to use it with ps4 too. If kinect had worked properly it could have been amazing. I'd have been all over the steel battalion game.

[cutmymilk]

It works perfectly, in a perfectly square, sterile room with 10 feet of pure emptyness.

I wouldn't mind, but when I popped out to get a drink, Kinect Sports Rivals gave a higher score to my sofa...

[teddymeow]

Had a quick flick through a copy in Smiths this morning. Read the MK8 review and despite all the positives and wonderful score the main point I took from the review was the fact that the battle mode is apparently orked.
