The original Magna Carta launched on the PS2 a few years ago to somewhat lukewarm response, and its critical reception was mixed to say the least. However, many did notice that the game did have plenty of potential, thanks to its good story details and lush and immersive world. Luckily, that potential may see fruition, as NAMCO Bandai will be publishing the sequel, Magnacarta 2, as an Xbox 360 exclusive. The game was on display at NAMCO Bandai's booth at this year's E3, and presented some fantastic graphics and art direction, and an all new real-time combat system.
OXM's Edwin writes: "The sun is shining, there's a half-finished copy of Bioshock Infinite back home, I've got a third-hand 3DS in the post (it cost £80 - sucks to be you, launch buyers!) and another long Easter weekend is upon us. How are you spending yours - engaging in religious ceremonies? Decapitating make-believe rabbits? Dying of chocolate? Visiting your drunken excesses on relatives? Or playing videogames?"
Lots of mediocre titles in that list save Amalur and Overlord . There are better underrated titles out there , some more ignored than that list
