Rate the Game: Week 142

[M-A-G]

Yay, I can get around to this early. We're set to say adios to the month of July, but we've got more fuckery to which to attend. Can't believe more than half of the year is already gone. I hope you've been using the time for great games! Even better, games that are great and are also on our leaderboard! Speaking of which, last week's Syphon Filter needs a spot on the list. A fairly divisive outing, but what does the average have to say about all of that jazz? Behold!

Well, a solid 3.0 average puts it in some good company, but not in an outstanding overall position as it lands at number 113. Throughout all the twists and turns of this endeavor, the one constant comfort we can all rely on is that Ghosts n' Goblins still owns that last place spot.

For now, at least. Who's to say if what's next can fall harder? What do we have in store for this week? Talk to us, bowl...



The weekly ritual has been performed and we've got our game for the week. It's time to put Bethesda in the hot seat, this time as we explore the trials and tribulations of one Corvo Attano! It's a revenge-fueled romp through a plague-infested world as this week's game is none other than Dishonored! It had a lot of work behind it and it ultimately garnered a hefty amount of praise, but how do you feel about it? Are talking about a can't miss hit from Bethesda? I leave the floor open to you all as we kick off week 142 of this party. Until next week!
