Risk of Rain - An Indie Review
Things We Liked:
Clear, Retro Art Style
Easy to Learn, Hard to Master Mechanics
Every Item is Awesome - always want another one
Difficulty Timer is an Interesting Concept
Things We Didn't:
Can be Frustrating (but I like that)
Some Items (consumable items specifically) can be Unintuitive - normally wasted
Classes Are Hard to unlock - takes longer to change up gameplay
Overall Score - 7/10

Fable 3 - A Hater's Review
Things We Liked:
King of Albion - you can finally seize the throne in Fable 3
Decision Making - you make many good/bad decisions along the way
Albion is Ok - slightly less quirky than before, but a decent re-adaption with old locations popping up
Graphics have made a slight improvement since the last game
Things We Didn't:
Decisions are too Obvious and Trivial - they do not really affect the ending
Characters are Boring - you don't care about characters you're supposed to
The Sanctuary - you can't pause the game properly (more on that in the in depth review)
Combat is Easy - a return of the combat in Fable 2 but with massively over powered spells
Weapon Augments are Annoying - you morph your weapon, but need to complete annoying tasks to do so
World is tiny - half the world size of Fable 2, maybe even less
Locations Have been Altered Too Much - Brightwood/Bloodstone has gone from a dying port to a pleasant country village? Really?
No 'Enemy Areas' - all provinces include a city and are only like 50m across, so... no enemies except in scripted quest events
Even More - see the in depth for more ranting
Rating - 3/10

Sonic Rush - A Speedy Review
Things We Liked:
Great Music
Good Gameplay
Fun Story
Nice use of both screens in the final fight
Gimmicks are actually good
Character back-story
Good adding a new character
Things We Didn't:
World 2 is water and the hardest world
Big difficulty spikes
Weird Ending
Boss can be uber hard
Overall Rating - 7/10
