GDN: Those of you interested in Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor have likely heard two major things about it. The first is its premise, letting players serve as the main pilot for a Vertical Tank (’VT’) in America’s army, set in a dystopian future where technology has severely regressed. The other thing you might have heard is that not everyone has been able to get the game to work properly. This review is from the perspective of someone who not only got them to work right the vast majority of the time, but is also a very devoted fan of the giant robot/’mecha’ genre. In other words, I am this game’s ideal player... and even I was left with only enough enthusiasm to say “Eh, I guess it’s okay. I had some fun with it.” That is not sterling praise.
Eurogamer:
"Heavy Armor might be the perfect Kinect game, or at least, the most honest, because it reveals how interesting life can be when technology gets in your way. Green-lighted way back when Kinect was known as Project Natal, the game posits a near-future in which a silicon-guzzling microbe has devoured every computer on the planet, setting back the science of combat to roundabouts the close of the first world war. Deprived of GPS, drones and other decadent trappings of 21st century warfare, the Earth's nations are obliged to duke it out in gas-powered mechs or "vertical tanks" that handle as elegantly as elephants in high heels."
And the reason that it was one of From Soft's worst games is that it was tied to poor game accessory.
As much as I like From's Souls games, I'm hoping they release another Armored Core at some point.
...just had to throw that out there
It always seems like the video game industry can’t go a single week without handling death threats of some sort. At this point, they almost come with the territory for game developers, critics, or anyone else a select few people don’t like. However, the only way a person who receives death threats can combat them is by doing absolutely nothing.

We've compiled a list of these aberrations so that you don't ever have to play them yourself."
I really thought the picture of the horse was a real game. Not even sure why I'm disappointed it isn't ;/ Also, Survivor? What's the real aim of the game? Survive the opening credits?
duke nukem forever should of made the list, a game 10yrs in developement and ended up looking like a 2000 title.
