Welcome back to another installment of the MeltedJoystick Review Round-Up. Here’s what our staff has reviewed since last time:
Nelson’s Reviews:
Unlike last quarter, the MeltedJoystick crew had a very difficult time finding co-op games to play. As such, our only co-op game turned out to be “Tales of Graces F.” Other than that, I strove to knock-out as much of my Wii backlog as possible.
“Spectrobes: Origins” – 2/5
“PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure” – 3/5
“The Witcher” – 4/5
“Tales of Graces F” – 2/5
“Monster Lab” – 3.5/5
“Orcs Must Die!” – 4.5/5
Chris’ Reviews:
Chris’ review of “Tales of Graces F” barely made it in under the wire because he spent so much time playing through the optional “F” part by himself after everyone else bailed on him. Other than that, he reviewed new games in three of his favorite series and a new IP that caters specifically to his interests.
“Saint’s Row: The Third” – 4/5
“Silent Hill: Downpour” – 3/5
“Lollipop Chainsaw” – 3.5/5
“Diablo III” – 4/5
“Tales of Graces F” – 3.5/5
Nick’s Reviews:
Instead of getting better, Nick’s review procrastination just keeps getting worse. Still no “Dungeon Defenders” review (for either PSN or Steam) and no additional co-op game reviews.
*sigh* I really don’t want to have to use my cattle prod.
Featured User Review:
This quarter, the featured user review winner is long-time member dbarry_22 for a useful review of “Kid Icarus: Uprising.” This is one of the longest and most detailed reviews dbarry_22 has written since joining MeltedJoystick right after the site’s launch. And while at least one among the MeltedJoystick staff thinks dbarry_22’s ultimate review score is too high based on the content of the review, that’s what makes this review so great. It’s not just a number with some weak justifications, it’s a detailed account of the game’s strengths and weaknesses and a number representing how much dbarry_22 enjoyed it. Congratulations, dbarry_22, and keep up the good reviewing!
