Leveling Down

In later stages, you’ll be squaring off against several snipers

I initially never cared much for this game; I tried downloading the single-player demo from the Live marketplace and just couldn’t get into it. The game didn’t seem as fluid as Rainbow Six Vegas, yet with the sequel having recently been released and many people saying that Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter (GRAW from this point forward) was the first great 360 game, I decided to take a second look. I’m glad I got a chance to actually play through it though, because it’s actually a pretty good game.

The Bullet Witch, Alicia

Bullet Witch was one of the games on my radar before it came out in February. However, with its release, reviews shot it down left and right to the point that I decided to hold off on the purchase. Only after the game was out for several weeks and I checked out several forums related to it, I heard positive reviews from the fans: “This is the best bad game I’ve ever played.” “Whats with the bad reviews for this game?” “WOW not nearly as bad as everyone says…..” I saw videos from the game, and the premise seemed to definitely be my type of game so I reconsidered.

When I found it on sale for $35 shipped on eBay, I decided to order it. I figured even if I didn’t like it, I could still turn around and sell it for close to that. After having recently completed it this past weekend, I must say that it’s definitely not a game that I can recommend to everyone, but like Ninety-Nine Nights, it was under-rated by reviewers (59% on GameRankings.com).
