The only people who would buy this game are bored Halo fans, and they need to know whether its worth quitting/forking over $60 for or not.

For me, it’s almost impossible to go into a review like this one without anticipation. The reason? This game had so much media surrounding it before, and after, it was released.

It didn’t come out in Australia until the end of last week, and by that time I had already read a vast amount of reviews; not to mention the plethora of trailers, videos, and interviews floating around the web.

I believe that I did review the game and its most notable facets in an unbiased manner. I would never judge a game by simply its developer, or opposition for that matter. That would be foolish. On the contrary, I searched for some unique features that could bump up the overall score, but to be honest, I struggled immensely.

I understand where you are coming from, but you have to understand that the majority of gamers go into a game expecting it to be something from all the media and hype that surrounded it. I hope I didn’t come across like I was merely comparing a game to a classic.

Section 8 is simply an unremarkable title in an already cluttered genre, and I judged it accordingly.

This is coming mainly from a development standpoint. I’ve had so many people say “Looks like this” and “Will this be just like this” that it’s kind of unfair that our games are put A; To a mainstream standard and B; Not really appreciated for what they really are.

Just my two cents. Review the game, it’s purpose and premise, if it delivers, and your bones to pick.

Thanks for the review Simon.

Velvet Assassin was really promising too, and I loved the concept. Unfortunately, it was frustrating to the point of me not finishing the game, despite loving the story-line. I think I’ll pass this one up to avoid some disappointment here, too.
