A disappointing game, failing both on the graphics side and the gameplay mechanics side, like with the lumbering cover/aim system and the lacking multiplayer. The single-player campaign is capable of delivering some good moments of destructive action, but it isn't enough.

Halo: Spartan Assault succeeds in keeping the Microsoft series' feeling also thanks to a great sound design, but gets dragged down by game-crashing bugs, an half-baked co-op and an overly higher price considering the same game is available for much less in the Windows Store. The worst game in the Halo franchise as of today.

If Eat Lead developers wanted to revive some of 80's gaming cliches, they succeeded: but this brought with it some heavy shortcomings, like great linearity, no environment interaction, and a very repetitive soundtrack. Nevertheless, the game is still enjoyable, mainly due to some very crazy moments. We suggest to give it a chance just for trying, but only when you'll be able to find it at a budget price.

It contains some interesting ideas and a good story, but it's dragged down by an awful voice acting, bad combat system and a subpar technical production. A game of such a scale and ambition deserves way better production values.

Red Faction: Battlegrounds sports good graphics and interesting ideas: unfortunately, the absence of a true single player mode and the too chaotic multiplayer matches due to the overly small maps, rapidly blow out any interest in the game.

Simply embarassing in every aspect, dull and meaningless. Avoidable.

A totally lunatic action-platform game, with a simple yet unpredictable gameplay and ridiculous characters and situations.

It's a real pity, because this was one of our most watched games and it deserved a better treatment.
