Wow, That is the lowest score i have seen Bit-tech give a game.
Quote sotu1 14th August 2008, 08:50

Quote CardJoe 14th August 2008, 08:50
Simply, it was one of the (if not the only) PC exclusive games coming out this month.
Quote sotu1 14th August 2008, 08:59

Quote Mongoose132 14th August 2008, 09:27
Sloooooow month for reviews eh? :p
Quote CardJoe 14th August 2008, 09:45
We're a PC site and this is a PC exclusive - we'd have looked at it anyway.

Besides, Hiren loves it.

Also, saving quote "We're a PC site and this is a PC exclusive"

We are a PC site - but that doesn't mean we don't look at console games. I look at it this way: our readers our geeks like me who probably own at least one console for the most part as well as a PC. They are interested in GOOD games, regardless of platform for the most part, but they favour PC games.

Thus, when a game has a PC release we will endeavour to cover it in the bit-tech way. If a good game is coming out on a different platform though - something like Resident Evil 5, Gears of War 2 etc which have big followings and are of interest to us and our readers but which aren't on PC then we shall cover them.

I feel a bit sorry for the developer after reading this. LOL
It's good to see that you dare venture below a score of 5. Now go give some prepped up big buck game the same bashing :)

Lies, I've never even played it

You said that yesterday. Is this part of another cunning trip for you get some more time with the game?
Quote badders 14th August 2008, 12:15
If Jamie's reading this, It'd be nice to view game reviews by score - but that's take loads of work I bet.

Nice to see you've dropped the muffin references, Joe.
I don't know why, but they were really starting to grate.

Quite a few PC games coming next month though.

Spore, Clear Sky, Warhead etc.

Then there's non-exclusive PC games like Brothers in Arms being released.

Can't wait, I'm looking forward to reading every review as you type your socks off writing a-review-a-minute.

thinking. at this price its not even worth a look!

come to the uk, here it costs allmost 34$. (before anyone blames sales tax, its 17% not 100%).

that said, yup, it sucks, like most cheap games do, except audiosurf.

Quote Yemerich 14th August 2008, 18:06
Score of 2? geez!
Looks like I need to wait until next month.

Good thing we got Fantastic Contraption! :D

After taking a look at screenshots I must admit it looks even worse than F.E.A.R. I checked the price of this game in Polish online store (not english version) - it's 19.99PLN (Polish currency). According to exchange rates from National Bank of Poland it will be $9.00 and £4.80. Looks like localization was really expensive ;)

It's good that you review games like this - no one will even thik about byuing it ;)

They made that offer USA only months ago.

"... the game still looks about as attractive a proposition as trying to unblock a dirty toilet with a pair of tweezers and no rubber gloves..." LOL
