    The Bayonetta & Vanquish 10th Anniversary Bundle isn’t a sexy release by any means. Besides the nice steelbook that the physical version of the game comes with, there’s not a lot else included in this package other than the expected slight boost in graphical prowess. This collection will surely please both longtime fans and new ones who have been looking to give both of these titles a shot, but it’s hard to say that there is anything else all that alluring included here. This is just your pretty standard, run of the mill remaster of two great games – nothing more, nothing less.

    In terms of a clean, simple release of two classic games at a fair price, playable this smoothly at this high of a resolution on modern consoles? It’s hard to complain. If you’ve ever wanted to play Bayonetta or Vanquish on your current-generation console, or have yet to pick up the PC releases, this is a great excuse to do so.

    Bayonetta & Vanquish 10th Aniversary Bundle brings back Platinum's hit games to the current generation of consoles. Both games are High paced,Bayonetta & Vanquish 10th Aniversary Bundle brings back Platinum's hit games to the current generation of consoles. Both games are High paced, adrenaline-fueled, non-stop intensity. Bayonetta is the story of two conflicting Witch tribes and the constant struggle between Heaven and Hell. You play as Bayonetta, a witch with guns hooked to her heels and endless combination moves. You awaken after 20 years asleep at the bottom of a lake, without all of your memories. You spend the game piecing together the past and using her insane arsenal of enemy weapons, and her magical hair, to destroy anything in your path from the smallest enemies to massive bosses. Vanquish is a slightly different game, taking us from the following wide-view camera to a Third-Person over the shoulder cover-based shooter. You play as Sam Gideon, a Badass with a capital B. The country is being threatened by the Russians, with San Francisco destroyed, and New York in their crosshairs. With a wild collection of firearms at your disposal and an augmented battle suit, you slide and blast your way past hundreds of enemies, ranging from soldiers to huge Bosses. The gameplay for both of these titles has been pushed to 60fps and the constant action is creamy smooth. The cutscenes still feel a bit dated, but the intense gameplay more than makes up for these. For those who missed these titles over the last 10 years, here's your chance to enjoy two of the most intense action games made in the last decade.… Full Review »
