Dead Space IGN Review
IGN.com have reviewed Dead Space, scoring it a 8.7/10. Dead Space is a horror Sci-Fi third person shooter set in space. You play as an engineer who is sent to investagate the lack of communitation on a ship which is designed to harvest planets for their vital resources. When you arrive on the ship, everyone has been masacared by a hoard of aliens and the horror begins.
| 9.0 | Presentation A deep story and incredible atmosphere with tons of horror influences make Dead Space one of those titles that is a great starting point for a franchise. |
|
| 9.0 | Graphics Visually striking, everything from the holograms to the Necromorphs is incredible. Pixilation during depressurization and mild slowdown crimp its style. |
|
| 9.5 | Sound Voice acting is delivered beautifully, but it’s the sound design that will have you jumping out of your seat and sending shivers down your spine. |
|
| 8.5 | Gameplay A strong mix of action and exploration is only hampered by repetitive, though appropriate, backtracking and odd navigation issues. |
|
| 8.5 | Lasting Appeal You’ll have to play through the game multiple times to improve your gear and understand the full story. However, not being able to change your difficulty after you beat the game is a bad decision. |
|
| 8.7 |
OVERALL (out of 10 / not an average) |

Kane & Lynch: Dead Men GT Review
I’ve been skeptical about Kane & Lynch: Dead Men since seeing how poor the AI was in the demo we had a chance to play during Games Convention in Germany. The story looks really good and compelling, but does the gameplay and terrible enemy AI pull it down?
Famitsu Review Assassins Creed
Famitsu have reviewed and scored Assassins Creed, giving it a 10,8,9,10 - 37/40
Quick summary:
•Story is totally engrossing, like a great movie.
•Feels like a real next-gen action game.
•One-button combat is somewhat unsatisfying, but will make the game accessible to more people.
•Story, worldview, presentation all top-notch.
•At times the map is hard to make out and there are bad camera angles. There are lots of little annoying things like that. (From the 8 review)
•The acrobatic play mechanics are totally addicting
I’m still not sold on Assassins Creed after seeing the upsettingly bad AI from the E3 demo. In any case, thats a pretty good score.
