Another press kit which could have easily been a cool collectors edition...

The space jam 2 one is pretty slick. That would have made a nice CE

When people say "they don't pay for reviews" remind em that they instead get bribed by press packages. Not saying this game needs to bribe anyone, but it's always been so obvious that they serve that purpose. It's a vicious cycle of staying on each other's good side.

deadfrag967d ago

Exactly!For me this is purely the publishers and developers bride for good reviews!Theres no reason other them that!If It was for the actual fact of reviewing the game they would ONLY need to send a game disc review sample!

-Foxtrot967d ago

Oh totally

Like what you've said, I'm no way saying this game needed "bribed" as it looks fantastic BUT there's been other games over the years which get some cool press kits, and I mean well made packages which could influence peoples scores. Even if the game is pretty good and is a solid 8, they could put it up to a 9 or 9.5 because of the press kit and the worry that if they give it lower they'll not receive them anymore by that developer or others.

if you type "video game press kit" into ebay or google images you'll see how many amazing ones you can find.

Not to mention, there's probably ones we don't even know about because these days big gaming companies like IGN, Gamespot, Kotaku and the like usually keep things quiet, they don't want us to know.

should have called it "bribe-edition"

peppeaccardo967d ago

Unfortunatelly the funky graphics and the story did not click with me. Uninstalled after 15 minutes of playing it. TBH I did no play the first neither ... but I can see this being of appeal to many gamers, good for them !

I always try and buy my games from gaming retailers here in the UK, there are a couple of cracking online retailers such as Shopto, Games365 and The Game Collection who I try to support as much as I can . By supporting these kinds of companies I figure it helps competition and that means better deals.

I hate Amazon, a tax dodging company that is looking to put all the competition out of business, not to mention how poorly they treat workers all over the world.
