Rate the Game: Week 96

**M-A-G** · 02-08-2022, 08:14 AM

Who's ready for another week of this sucker?!? I sure am! We ran into a few bumps in the road but thankfully we were able to get things sorted out and back on track with last week's games as we can finally add some more titles to our list. We judged Bayonetta and SoulCalibur and now it's time to see where they end up. Leaderboard, it gives me great pleasure to update you...

Well, unfortunately both games fall towards the lower end of things as SoulCalibur takes the 72nd slot with a 3.16 average and Bayonetta ends up at 84 with a 2.75. Good efforts from both parties but the elite spots stay safely guarded...for now.

Now we go to the bowl so that it may cough up a new title for this week. Can it overcome the fate of last week's games? Can it even make it onto the board? Let's see what's on tap for this week....

And just like that we're back to the FPS genre. This week we take a look at one of the biggest sequels to one of the biggest franchise-starters in gaming history. The sage of Master Chief continues in this entry; it's Halo 2 on the Xbox! The original game has been sitting at the bottom of our leaderboard for quite some time but how does its follow-up fare? Does it have enough going for it that it can shoot its way up to the top or does it deserve to join its predecessor in the bowels where it currently sits? What do you all think? Let's whip out our energy swords and take a stab at this bad boy. Until next week!
