Ben Dutka: AMY was my second most anticipated downloadable game of 2012 next to Journey. I’ve been craving a true-blue survival/horror experience, and I loved the concept. This didn’t appear to be handholding or babysitting; it looked like an intriguing partnership between two interesting characters, set among a frightening, post-apocalyptic environment. Sadly, the mechanics are very nearly broken and the setting doesn’t do its job. It’s boring, frustrating and poorly constructed.
Like any console, not every release was going to be a hit, and the PS3 certainly had its fair share of stinkers.
turning point had a really great story / concept... it just was very generic in its game play.
Oof! yeah, Ride was a huge fumble they tried to market twice.
Haven Fall of the King was dog-shi7-tastic and should be a runner up to some of those.
I'd even nominate Legend of Kay. Heh Haze... there is no excuse for that one (just pretend Haze did not happen).

What's kinda funny about this is, that I have a theory that all these electronics are what are causing autism. You think back to about a generation ago and autism wasn't that wide spread, or we just didn't diagnose it. I feel that since all electronics put out an emf field that it can have adverse affects on a developing brain. No data or anything for this, just a theory I have.
It's a downloadable game? No wonder it fell short. This sounds like something they should have done on a disc. When has any downloadable game been that deep?
FOTY
Not a good score.
