Shame, I was hoping this might turn out good, but I found out earlier today that it was being released on Friday and alarm bells started ringing.

And so Codemasters' descent into utter mediocrity continues. I remember when they were one of the most consistent and dependable publishers.

No invasion of the talkback thread by outraged fans yet?

I twigged at the lack of quality when this disappeared from the radar without anyone noticing. Oh well.

@coastal: Edge of Twilight looks somewhat decent. It's got a steampunk vibe to it.

The underboob makes a nice change from your usual topboob. Eventually, after much experimentation, I think games will be able to take it to the next level.... boob.

I kinda suspected this game would end up being rather mediocre, but a 3 is quite low. Ouch.

For a game that might actually end up delivering on the "vertical combat" promise, see Dark Void.

Yeah I felt the smell of mediocrity stinging from the videos, but never suspected it's this shite.Still no good current gen steampunk game for us. I do hope someone will do an RPG though.


And if Dan says the controls on the X360 are shoddy, I don't even want to know what goes on the PC.

Did anyone else read this and have visions of a climactic boss battle against a certain suit-wearing fat bloke in a cowboy hat?

That is an astonishing garment she has there. A *ahem* closer look shows that the bizarrely bulbous appendages make her look like a post ops transexual. Real boobs aren't spherical.

The game? Ah, who cares. Nice review; informative.

It must be doing some good though, funcom announcing profits from it and all. I was always watching Damnation with mild interest, no big loss for me that it turns out to be this 'bad' (if that is indeed the case - yes i'm looking at you EG ;)

You'll probably end up re-reviwing it by the end of today ;)

Wow, I sensed mediocrity from the videos, but this review lowers even those expectations. Too bad, I kinda liked the idea.

Nice underboob though. Not my style, but nice anyways.

Oh and gotta hate those ugly Unreal 3 engine explosions.

EDIT: Where are the angry fanboys?

Wow I had that on my watch list.
Sounds like something to avoid like the plague...

Wanna see some more reviews although usually at least to me EG is spot on.

Terminator seems to be shit as well so yeah really dry season for action gamer right now.

Jericho had decent sideboob. But frankly, that's just mad. Even if she doesn't move they'd just fall down out of the top in their own time. And Conan was great hack slash boob fun!

I'm so sorry that the lack of AAA titles is causing havoc with your piracy schedule.

Also, did you just call the people who allow the games industry to continue to exist "sad cunts"?

I'm surprised that I've never even heard of this game until I saw the review. Still that means I'm not in the slightest bit disappointed at the review score. :)

Anyone else notice that this review isn't on the front page anymore, it's only listed under the recent features list?

I'm sure conspiracy theorists can come up with something on that.

I noticed it had gone missing from the front page so I went and searched for it. Bad reviews are so much more fun than good ones. The UFC review was a snore-fest. Informative as it may be.

If nothing else, the controls being essentially unfit for purpose, kills this stone dead.

You missed my argument with a couple of other posters about this game being better than Gears 2.
Farfarer and Doctor What dont have crystal balls thats for sure.

what a disappointment.

there's been no good games out for months, what the fuck is going on. i know its always quiet this time of year, but this has been the worst post xmas game release schedule ever.

fucking joke. and all ive got pencilled in to download over the next month or so is tiger woods and virtua tennis - both just fucking updates.

still, at least the sad cunts that actually pay for games are saving some cash.


Surely hateful, profanity filled comments which attempt to glorify game piracy and call those who support game developers 'sad cunts' will get you banned . . . right, EG mods??

I mean, if not this then what??

Conan on the 360 is a great fun! It's a solid brawler, with very satisfying combat and loads of boobs and gore. Plus it had Ron Perlman and Claudia Black supplying suitably gruff and acerbic b-movie vocals.

It's one of the few games this gen I've played through multiple times. : )

Well, okay then. It's your time you're wasting, so feel free to sign up as many times as you like. In the meantime, ignored!

Keep fighting the good fight!
