A few. And they mostly fall into the habits I was ranting about above. It annoys me because it is a harsh reminder of how commercial the whole gaming scene is now. Big release and lots of marketing? 9/10. Good solid game with less hype? 6/10. Everything else? 4/10 or 7/10, depending on the wind direction

Yeah - basically a Kane and Lynch review popped up on the site, and it was like 5/10. Then it mysteriously disappeared, to be replaced with a 8 or 9/10. This was the same time the site was *covered* in adverts for the game. The dude who wrote it got fired, also

Yeah, Space Marine does look pretty groovy. The new Deus Ex looks cool too. Hopefully a bit better than the last one.
Sadly I don't have xbox live arcade though. Tried to get the stupid machine on the interwebz once, but it was having none of it. Don't know if it was faulty, or if my wireless modem was faulty, or if I was just doing the set up wrong, or what.

And I've heard good things about Space Marine, I've been waiting for it to drop in price before I get it though.
Can't believe somebody could complain about there being no cover though.
You're right, too many games these days the gameplay boils down to 'Press X, and keep pressing X until you win. Congratulations!'
Way too easy games these days. There's no tension or sense of reward anymore.
