Game Informer, I think we have a problem

An Editorial by Figboy

I’m generally not a guy that calls out anybody (except for fanboys, because it’s fun), but I admit that I was quite taken aback by the current issue of Game Informer (the one with Assassin’s Creed 2 as the cover story), and their review of The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena.

I’m completely aware that reviews are simply one person’s opinion of a product, but reviews for games are a bit trickier than any other medium because of the interactivity of games. It’s easy to watch a movie, or even listen to a song, and explain why you liked or didn’t like it, because movies and music are rather passive experiences, and it’s pretty cut and dry as to why you’d like or dislike a particular song or movie.

The bundle will be priced at $399, and includes two little known titles Halo 3 and Fable 2, perhaps you’ve heard of them?

Considering that Xbox Elite’s are $399 standard, this is quite the bargain, as Halo 3 and Fable 2 are certainly two of the best titles on the Xbox 360.
