Ultimately, Rise of the Argonauts never quite manages to hit its stride, despite the fact that it feels like it's on the cusp of doing so a few times. It's not a bad game per se, but it does feel remarkably unpolished. Had Codemasters been able to put it through a few more months of QA, this probably could have been a highly-enjoyable action game. If you can manage to put up with the numerous irritations, you will be treated to a great story, but it'll require some extreme patience to get to that point. As it stands, the title's strengths do feel rather outweighed by its weaknesses, which means it's only worthy of a rental, at best.
Verdict: Skip
You can pay what you want for Overlord, its Raising Hell DLC, Operation Flashpoint: Red River, Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, and Rise of the Argonauts. Paying $6 or more gets you Overlord II, DiRT Showdown, and DiRT 3.
Letting an aggregate review score from sites like Metacritic become the sole dictator of your buying decisions is sure to make you miss out on a lot of fun, unique experiences.
With Valentine's Day weekend now upon us, what better way to honour all the love-laden gamers out there than to take a look back on the greatest romances found on the Xbox 360.
Love is both an incredible gift and a burdening beast. It is a joy that gives wonderful memories or a cruel mistress that demands incredible sacrifice. Love can make you feel like you have everything in the world or that you have nothing left to cherish. Although these five examples of love are different in almost every way, these couples portray the power of love better than the rest.
Enjoy !
