By all accounts, the story is a Frankenstein's Monster of weary horror tropes and cardboard characters, treading familiar ground as telekinetic little girl avoids conspiracies, soldiers, and the cannibal dead. On its own, that's not such a bad thing -- the plot is at least inoffensive, making it the best thing AMY has going for it. This tendency to liberally pilfer ideas from other horror works, however, is something of a defining trait.
Like any console, not every release was going to be a hit, and the PS3 certainly had its fair share of stinkers.
turning point had a really great story / concept... it just was very generic in its game play.
Haze is a bad game but Turning Point: Fall Of Liberty makes it seem like a captivating work of art. haha. Fuck that game
Shellshock 2: Blood Trails isn't on this list but it might be the worst game I've ever played. I got it as a present from my mam and when I saw the box, my life flashed before my eyes thinking of the Metacritic score: https://www.metacritic.com/...
I also received Turning Point: Fall Of Liberty as a present from another family member. Bless their hearts for trying but ... oh Lord. My uncle gave my Prince Of Persia: Sands Of Time and MGS2 though. 😎
Was it really that bad? I recall trying the demo and not liking it, but that's just me not liking FPS games.
People I know who played it and like FPS games mostly came to the conclusion that it has a lot of room for improvement, but it's not nearly as bad as it's made out to be.
Don't know, my opinion on these games should be taken with a grain of salt.
Oof! yeah, Ride was a huge fumble they tried to market twice.
Haven Fall of the King was dog-shi7-tastic and should be a runner up to some of those.
I'd even nominate Legend of Kay. Heh Haze... there is no excuse for that one (just pretend Haze did not happen).

Examining and discussing how characters on the spectrum have been and could be utilized in our favorite medium.
What's kinda funny about this is, that I have a theory that all these electronics are what are causing autism. You think back to about a generation ago and autism wasn't that wide spread, or we just didn't diagnose it. I feel that since all electronics put out an emf field that it can have adverse affects on a developing brain. No data or anything for this, just a theory I have.
It's only been in the last generation or two where metal health has been a thing that can be documented.
A lot more studies are going into it so we're understanding it better.
In the old days, people would have lived their entire lives with things like autism and not even know it.
After all most people who have autism are on the extreme end of the spectrum, so it might not always be obvious.
Yea that's a good point, we still have a very long way to go in diagnosing and treating mental disorders. It's just very hard to do that, but I totally agree with you.
anyone think destructoid wanted to outdo ign's review (2/10)?
The games trailer looks horrible. What goes through some developers minds when they create some of these games. Do they play games themselves or what.
Hey lets make a game where you move boxes from one side of a map to the other and you have to do it as fast as you can. Yeah and give it PS2 graphics as well. Should sell great and score great too lol.
Was never even following this game, but I thought it was supposed to be something big people were waiting for.
Anyway. Sweep it under the rug and lets move on.
i was playing this earlier and to be honest its pretty good why these magazines are marking it so low i don't know i have played much worse than this. the graphics might not be the best and the fighting is a bit ropey, (dialogue is cheesy, but haven't these guys played the original resident evil?) but i wouldn't rate it as low as these guy's. I'm sure they will add more stuff with dlc and improve bits with updates (like every other game released lately).
I'd give it a 6/10. and this is my opinion! lol.
