[Abooie]

New magazine and new reviews:

Devil May Cry 4 (360, PS3) ~ 9 "No tears here"
The Club (360, PS3) ~ 7 "An enjoyable but slightly disappointing offering"
Patapon (PSP) ~ 7 "Essential, in it's own curious way"
Frontlines: Fuel of War (360) ~ 7 "Excellent online shooter, betrayed by a so-so story mode"
Turok (360, PS3) ~ 4 "Cliched, generic, bland, boring and infuriating" (I don't think the reviewer liked it!)
Advance Wars: Dark Conflict (DS) ~ 9 "A supreme refinement of the franchise"
No More Heroes (Wii) ~ 9 "You have learned well, young grasshopper"
Kingdom Under Fire Circle of Doom (360) ~ 3 "A waste of time, money and resources"
Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles (PSP) ~ 7 "Good fun, but it's no dawn of sorrow"
Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law (Wii) ~ 6 "Short but tweet"
Sonic Riders: Zeri mavity (Wii) ~ 4 "Another lacklustre outing for the famous hedgehog"
PixelJunk Monsters (PS3 PSN) ~ 8 "Another great release for PSN"
Omega V (360 Arcade) ~ 9 "There's life in the old genre yet"

Damn, was semi looking at KUF and I actually thought the Turok review is generous; it's the worst demo I've played on the 360 to date.
I did enjoy the demo of DMC, looks like I'll have to get this at some point.

DMC review is a lot higher than I was expecting and The Club a little higher (I thought a 6, but I'd give it an 8).

Really not surprised with Turok, I was expecting around a 3 or 4. Harsh review for KUFCOD, but it does look bad.

 

[Shamikebab]

Completely agree with DMC, just playing it through for the second time. No More Heroes I would have given an 8 from what I've played.

I was thinking of responding to the guy who wrote the letter about PES being better than Fifa, but then on balance decided it wasnt worth the effort.

Pata Pata Pata Pon! - Can't wait for this one to arrive!
DMC4 - fantastic game, I'm off work until Wed's so will hopefully get it finished.
Turok - Kinda knew it would end up with a bad score was a good franchise back when Goldeneye was the only decent FPS on a console - but things have developed so much since then with FPS on consoles.

PixelJunk Monsters though - what a bloody brilliant game, all PS3 owners need to buy that now!! (Demo on Jap PSN if your still feeling unsure)

I've got Kingdom Under Fire Circle of Doom on rental at the moment. I'm expecting it to be ok as a rental as I quite liked the demo but could see how it'd turn tedious.

No More Heroes looking very good for those of us that actually like our Wii's.

I'm really not interested in No More Heroes, for some reason. I wasn't interested in Killer 7 either. I really must rent it, along with BWii and Zack and Wiki and decide which one I'd rather.
