Reviews Spotlight: Sin & Punishment, Dead Space, Hero of Sparta, and More

Take just one look at this week's Reviews Spotlight and you'll notice that our beloved Bitmobbers are quite the busy bees, with challenging and scary space battles, bored Spartans, and much more!


Sin & Punishment: Star SuccessorReview — Sin & Punishment: Star Successor
By Cameron Pershall
Cameron employs his love for so called "bullet hell" games to see if the aptly named Sin & Punishment: Star Successor stacks up against its competitors. Will wonky controls and tedious animations trump the mindless fun of dodging numerous projectiles? The answer lies in the full review.


Dead Space: An Xbox 360 Review
By Charles Clark
My immediate reaction to Charles' review of Dead Space was congratulatory — my easily scared wits prevented me from even seeing the end of the very first level. Fortunately, Charles' musters his more formidable courage to weather Dead Space's frightening atmosphere and delivers us a well-written review.

 

Hero of Sparta — Spartans, Prepare for Boredom
By Suriel Vazquez
Here's a brief recipe for survival — concocted at the hand of our very own Suriel Vazquez — in the cutthroat and ancient land of Sparta: Don't stand next to gaping holes in the ground (the Spartans' penchant for kicking things down holes will be your undoing), and never send a Spartan on a yawn-filled quest to slay mythological monsters. He'll just kick you in the gut despite any holes in the ground.


BlurBlur Review: Modern Warfare on Wheels
By Zach Drapala
Whoa! Did you just see that? It looked like a vividly colored, car-shaped Blur that surged past while firing a freaking homing missile, with explosive results. Am I dreaming? Or did I accidentally wander on to the set of the latest avant-garde car commercial? Nope, I'm simply reading Zach's awesome review.


Joe Danger — Break Bones and Records, not Controllers
By Suriel Vazquez
Many consider the moment one realizes their life's calling to be one of clarity and good fortune — and if your name is Joe Danger, said calling is to strap yourself onto a motorcycle and fling yourself into the heavens. It's a tough job, but someone needs to break those records…and with Suriel manning the controls, record-breaking glory isn't that far behind.
