@alphaprologist: I loved the character and her combat, but I hated how repetitive the game was. I think an awesome sequel could be done with the right team; make it an action/shooter with more RPG elements and God of War like scale.

@Steven Hott: The first 30 or so minutes are fantastic. Then the repetition kicks in and kills it flat. A great concept, horrible execution.

Hopefully they also canned that annoying receptionist that just sits on her ass all day, talking to her girlfriends over facebook and complaining about how she deserves more that $48k a year. Every office has one of those.

The Kotaku review format doesn't need to please everyone; nor should it. Just find one critical review source you always agree with and stick to their reviews, as they will best cover your feelings and preferences.

@Joel Kelly: All three games for $20?

The best part of Wings of Liberty being released? No more ass hats claiming it's only one third of a cropped game.

It's not like this will be hard to prove/disprove. There are dozens of professional football players and one wife that can confirm whether or not that is Favre's cock.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the free-to-play PSN model fail sooner or later. They are already dipping their toe in the pool with the premium memberships.

@MrGOH: And it doesn't suffer from framerate issues or long load times, depending on your rig :)

The PC version is already down to $39.99.

@MrSnuffles: I won't disagree that's it's a shitty tactic. I hate the direction gaming is going. I'm not going to whip out "well you don't have to buy it if you don't like it" because I understand your anger on principle.

@770312: It's not a terrible thing; but it's a terrible thing when your whole team does it and doesn't contribute to the games objectives (capturing/holding/destroying points, etc).

@Taggart6: They are a business, and they want to stay in business. Be competitive or die off. The more feedback you give them, the better their services will be.

The new ATI cards?

@fanboyps3: Well said and very objective and unbiased, fanboyps3. Have any thoughts on Halo: Reach as well?

@freedomweasel: There's always a shitstorm going on over there (GTPlanet). You can't make a single post without some fanboy trying to senselessly cut down the competition out of the blue. They are a very touchy group, but there are some sensible people there.

@RockyRan:

This is the 3DS, not a PSP. It has a stylus and touchscreen that you're supposed to be actively using while playing, and when implemented properly, can actually be superior to a right analog stick.

@animeman59: 5850 definitely, although MasterDex is right—ATI should be trotting out their new stuff soon if you can wait.

@cesariojpn: Have the BMW fanboys figured out they are the joke of the automotive world yet?
