"Pipeworks and 345 Games are giving all Xbox 360 owners the chance to experience the original XBLA titles (including all of the DLC as well as a new level and 30 new weapons) all in one disc-based compilation. As I was a fan of Deadliest Warrior: The Game, and Deadliest Warrior: Legends, I was excited to see what this new release had to offer."

Neocrisis: Ever thought of who would win in a fight if a Nordic viking was going against a Napoleon solider? or a Ninja vs a sword swinging samurai? Well wonder no more as Deadliest Warrior: Ancient Combat provides the answers (or at least tries to).
I played the first Deadliest Warrior game once. I was a Samurai and my friend was a Spartan. Match starts. He pushes circle. His Spartan chucks a spear at me and it magically hits me in the head, killing me instantly.
He then told me that it's random if the spear is going to go towards my head or not. So by chance, he killed me with a push of a button.
Screw this game.
That screen shot alone has turd written all over it. What you mentioned is the same reason I quit watching the show.
Their statistical stuff is cool in the show but when they show the cornball fight at the end and the fight is always won do to some total fluke it really makes a joke out of their decent statistical data. What you described summarizes the show perfectly.
Examiner:
Gamers can have a pretty easy time being very selective with their games. When you study reviews, play demos and generally pay attention to trends you can easily avoid some of the worst games that come out. We always pay attention to what games score and sell the highest, but what about the games that (critically) perform the worst? We dove into the deep zone and managed to dig up the five worst scoring games of 2012… So far.
