Where are all the 360 reviews?

[Crevalle]

Critic,

Perhaps you've been asked this on a number of occasions, but why so few 360 reviews? No Gears of War, Quake IV, GRAW, Oblivion, Kameo, Rainbow Six, Splinter Cell, CoD 3, etc. Most of your 360 reviews are either racing or sports games.

I know life is busy; just thought I'd ask.

I imagine he'd like some variety instead of doing 10 first person shooters in a row. Just a guess but I thought I'd take a crack at it.

GRAW is a strategy game, which I know the Critic dislikes. Rainbow Six looks more like a strategy game as well. He said Gears of War is coming soon. And that's all I can think of.

[Leo Ames]

They're squad based first person shooters, not strategy games.

[Linkdude]

Oh yeah they are. I thought with the commands you give out in games make them strategy ones. Oh well...

Despite your sarcastic--if not ignroant--post, I suppose I'll respond.

RBS:Vegas and GRAW are both squad-based tactical shooters (the latter being almost entirely third-person), GoW and Splinter Cell are both third-person with more stealth-oriented gameplay, and you've obviously not played Oblivion or Kameo if you consider them FPS--that is ridiculous. It tends to suggest you may be posting about games you have not played. I own all of them--just wanted to hear the Critic's opinion.

It was a simple question--no need for saracasm. Heck, the question wasn't even directed to you. Last I checked, this was the "Ask The Critic" forum.

sega saturn x--I have played through Quake IV's single-player campaign twice, and have played online for many hours (too many). I think it's an excellent game, for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is great multiplayer (which I know the Critic isn't into). Average score on gamerankings.com is 82% for PC, 75% for 360. I'd give it a B+. Gamespot gave it a very low score, primarily due to alleged "framerate" issues, which I did not experience even once. Anyway, I think Quake/id fans appreciate it more than most.

If I dedicated my time to reviewing 360 games, I wouldn't have time to write reviews for the 20+ other systems on this site.  Still, you can look forward to reviews of Call of Duty 2, Amped 3, Need For Speed Carbon, Gears of Wars, Kameo, hockey games, and the Burger King games.

I'm a little weary of time-intensive games like Splinter Cell, Rainbox Six, and Oblivion, but there's always a chance I'll take a stab at them.

I think Oblivion has a shot with you, Dave. Unlike previous Elder Scrolls games, you can fast travel almost anywhere instantly, eliminating the frustration of going through vast amounts of terrain.

 

If you try it, here is a tip: after you get through the introductory sequence, save in a seperate slot (do this just before you go outside and the game asks you if you'd like to make any final changes to your character) and never save over it.

 

This is important because you can then go back and create lots of different characters without going through the intro sequence.

 

There is a TON to do in Oblivion. Think of it as Grand Theft Auto with swords.

It is a spectacular game.

Yeah Feilong, it is a excellent game. I made myself a warrior in the game. Besides, wouldn't it be fun to fight in an Arena for gold or join a guild?
