It's a solid game, if a little overrated.
They need to rethink their methods of showing the game to the public, people simply don't have a complete understating of what they're really trying to do here.
Not to mention that by adding "literally" - in the wrong place, no less - HHG is no longer talking about a figurative 360 but physically spinning the game 360 degrees.
Skool is kool.
More Miyazaki than Ico, maybe even a little Steamboy in there.
It's fine to play games but only people who are trying to fool themselves would say that there are any kind of substantial health benefits.
Advantages gained in terms of mental dexterity and problem solving are sorely undermined by the fact that many gamers (sure, not all) prefer to spend the majority of their time playing games rather than engaging in other activities. A lack of physical health undermines mental advantages. And regardless, playing games is hardly a more producti...

Who said I didn't like GTA IV?
I'm stating the obvious: IGN goes overboard with game reviews, only for readers to realize later that a game isn't nearly as good as the intellectually stunted reviewers prescribe.
Never had any honour, but now it's got some.
Edit: I'm sure it's good, but always be weary of exclusive reviews, especially on IGN.
"GTA IV is oscar worthy." LOL
The film looks stunning, and this looks decent enough.

Can never stop a pirate, suckas.
They just wrapped Mini Ninjas and probably have Kane & Lynch 2 in the works, don't know how much room that leaves for Hitman.
And like all movie based games, they were probably given very, very little time to make it.
They did make the awesome Bionic Commando for PSN and Live.
And besides, the reboot was a solid action game.
go bak too skool.
It's heavily modelled of of Call of Duty, with comparable guns models and a nice feel to the shooting - and a HUD that's been totally stolen from Infinity Ward.
The problems is that there is simply no driving force to the action, with few locations or set pieces inspiring any reason to clear the next room of bad dudes. Modern Warfare has the pull of punctuated action, BioShock has the pull of a great antagonist: This has nazis with awful accents.
Enemies offer no cha...
I have been playing it. While it looks and feels good, just about everything about is joyless, as if even Raven were bored with making the game.
There is no forward thrust, no interesting mechanic, and even at the highest difficulty setting it offers little challenge.
It is the same dev and the game is not very good.
Think I'll just rip this one, spend my good cash on supporting Brutal Legend.
Oh how IGN needs some half decent writers.
It's Fear 2: Reborn.
