The Worst
Marvel Ultimate Alliance Bundle
***Click here for COG’s full review***
This one is a head scratcher, and shameless money grab. Our biggest issue with this game (or collection of games) comes down to the price. It’s pure insanity anyone would spend over 40 bucks for this game, let alone the current retail price of $59.99. Sure, on its own there is plenty to offer here and a lot of entertainment value in one little bundle but wait for it to go on sale folks. Trust us, this will go on sale sooner than later.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

Okay, we are prepared to take a lot of heat for this one. Just as we did when we published the review and gave the game a less than stellar review score. We all had massive expectations for the game. The demos and trailers all looked fucking fantastic, so we had good reason to go in expecting an AAA experience. Instead, we got a buggy and glitch filled disappointment. The voice work and strong narrative is commendable but the level design didn’t impress us. And frankly, the bugs were difficult to get past. It may not be the worst game from the past month but it is easily our biggest disappointment.
Little King’s Story

Little King’s Story is another one of those garbage re-release games. Are publishers that desperate to cash in? It certainly appears so. Look at what Capcom is doing to Resident Evil. The re-releases are awful and so is Little King’s Story. Sure it delivers an addictive ‘one more turn’ quality and the musical score is alright but the visuals are sadly dated. This game needed more than just a few coats of paint, it needed full scale renovations. This PC port doesn’t even come close to capturing everything that made the original special.
