I really don't like the look of Inifinite Undiscovery.

thereapersson5704d ago

I think it looks endearing, like an old-school RPG style, brought into next-gen.

gaffyh5704d ago

32/40 is 8/10. Which is pretty good I guess, although I expected at least a 9 from Famitsu (it's a JRPG for God's sake, they should love it).

I'm still getting the game, but I guess it won't be as great as some people expected.

KingDizzi5704d ago

The same guys who were caught taking bribes and kept right on doing it, there reviews should never be trusted as after all, they gave Haze a 34.

RealityCheck5704d ago

I think also that their reviews are influenced by advertisers. So like you said, their reviews can't be trusted.

Fox015704d ago

... I knew this when I saw Haze and Halo 3's scores. Japanses don't like FPS and yet Haze scored 34/40 and Halo 38 or 40 (can't remember).
I'm not saying 32/40 is a bad score (it's very good), just saying their reviews can't be trusted at all

SixTwoTwo5704d ago

Its hard to trust any site or magazine for reviews when they are filled with game ads. Why do they have to advertise games. Couldn't they easily fill that ad space with, well, anything BUT games?

Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise 7-8-8-8(31/40)
Pokemon Platinum 9-9-9-9(36/40)

Clearly they just give the high scores to the games they know will be popular

Fishy Fingers5704d ago

Maybe they just liked Pokemon more?

Lol IU better than VP2 ?? freaky scores

Tales Of Graces Ƒ Retro Review – Holding Out For a Hero

Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.

It's A Crime That There's No Sleeping Dogs 2 Yet

Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."

LG_Fox_Brazil1d 9h ago

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai1d 3h ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

CrimsonWing6913h ago

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

solideagle12h ago

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Abnor_Mal12h ago

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

DaReapa10h ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal8h ago

Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*

*As per Wikipedia

Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.

Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-earth II - PC Wore it Better

Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-earth II was an intriguing and unique RTS title, that sadly suffered in its console port.

dadavis19921d ago

Was just thinking about this game and wishing I had a way to revisit it. The way EA scrubs these titles from existence once their licensing runs out is horrid.

Michiel198913h ago

there is a client made by modders and it also works online.

kevco3313h ago

Indeed. The game can still be played online on PC.

Xbox 360 players, though? Bang outta luck.
