Scott from The Controller Online writes: "Movie tie-in games are hard to get excited for, if you pay any attention to history, but R.I.P.D The Game is being made by the same crew that just finished a game that we enjoyed so there is cause for hope. Old School Games, makers of God Mode, have been tasked with building the game version of Hollywood’s latest, over-the-top, action movie and they’ve taken an approach that is obviously familiar to them. Sadly R.I.P.D The Game doesn’t prove any of the movie game stereotypes wrong, even for a fraction of the usual price."

Not satisfied with just giving fans good game deals on the PSN store, Atlus is putting up four games up for discount in Amazon's Mayhem sales event.
Baden of WGB talks about the top three worst games he had to play in 2013: "Having published the list of my favourite games from 2013 it made sense that I sit before my keyboard once more and write out a brief post talking about what I view as the three worst games I played in 2013, all while nursing a hangover. Yup, New Year’s Eve was….actually it was a really quiet night thanks to a mix of terrible weather and everyone cancelling their party plans. The hangover stems from a night spent watching stupid videos with my family, drinking cider and eating Haribo."
Nothing I played in 2013 could come close to the sheer frustration of playing Amy near the start of 2013. My freaking God, that game was truly, truly terrible.
Currierox says "So just like clockwork a new film hits the big screens and along with it comes the obligatory video game cash in. Rushed out to quickly ride the hype gathered around whatever movie or property is the in thing at the moment. Now we are right to be wary whenever we see a movie licensed game hit the shelf but every once in a while it is done right and we get a nice companion to the film. RIPD fits into the former, I haven’t even seen the film and can see that this title screams rush job. So let’s get into it shall we."
I mediocre movie tie in? Get out of town.
i'll try the demo, but i suspect that's about as much as i'll do with the game.
buying it is looking unlikely.
