Post [Review] - Beyond Co-Op Reviews: June 2009


 


This month in our Beyond Co-Op Reviews we take a look at quite a few solid titles. We compare the open worlds of Prototype against inFAMOUS; we look at what happens when Plants and Zombies mix. We also check out Knights in the Nightmare, Bionic Commando and the latest Indiana Jones title.

Doh, when I was creating headers for this, I was under the impression that Jim was reviewing the Wii version of Staff of Kings.

WHOOPS

I think some of the reviews do miss things. I don't disagree with a particular review, but I do feel like some miss important parts.

The idea behind these aren't supposed to be the most in depth, detailed reviews. But rather a more top level approach.

Think of it like a review you'd read in a magazine that's half a page column.

Mike: whoops! Actually, the Wii has co-op. The PSP version doesn't. Mrxknown: this is my first Beyond Co-Op review...you really can't get too detailed when you're limited to a half page and scoring based on a three-score scale.

Yeah, if you want more in-depth reviews of Prototype and Bionic Commando, follow the link below the score to Colony of Gamers. Those are my elongated reviews, the Beyond Co-Op ones are supposed to be short.

I think that's what i meant, can we vote on whether to lengthen the article with a choice of the writer to a minimum of half a page or more than half a page.

But the reviews are still good and do touch on the stuff people want to know. And I know this is all volunteer work, so I'm not demanding anything more.

Some advice from a rehabilitating internet troll: that's not a path you want to start on, joking or not.

Nick knows I love him and this site. But I'll refrain from anything like that in the future.

I'm not speaking for Nick - it's obvious he's going to say what he needs to. :lol: I'm just giving you advice from someone who's been in those shoes.
