CGM Reviews: Battleship

If ever there was a movie destined to get a tie in game, it’s Battleship. After all the turn-based board game on which that terrible, terrible blockbuster is based is better suited to a videogame translation than a narrative feature. So, it should come as no surprise that the folks at Activision have gone and whipped up a wee adaptation for the 3DS. The similarities to the movie are all fairly superficial (which isn’t a bad thing as it doesn’t evoke any unpleasant memories) and the game is actually quite a different experience. Rather than being a big, loud, dumb assault on the senses, it’s a very deliberately paced strategy game.
