ZeroTolerance Writes: I feel like I am having déjà vu all over again. Another year and yet another Rock Band and Guitar Hero have landed, both being what you would expect. Along the same lines we also have another music game that is attempting to take the genre into a whole new direction. Power Gig: Rise of the SixString is the latest attempt to break into the music genre with a new hook: the ability to play on a real guitar. Well seeing as we once again did not have access to the hardware for this review, what we are left with is one poor attempt at recreating the magic.
GamingExcellence - Functioning guitar brings nothing to the table; poorly-designed interface; half the songs are locked away until you play the campaign mode; dull campaign mode.
PSX Extreme: We believe in celebrating the year's quality rather than laughing at the stinkers. And yet, we also understand the failures and near-misses and "what if...?" titles are often quite popular topics of discussion and so, as a prelude to our GotY extravaganza, we give you a few PSXE Dubious Distinction Awards.
2010 was the year we made contact with a lot of half-assed videogames. While there was much for gamers to celebrate over the past 12 months — and we here at Game|Life will be getting to that later — gamemakers also delivered an inordinate number of flops.
