(56% off) at Amazon Deal Factor 5.6 (details) Deal Factor for "Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce (360)"
The Deal Factor reflects the value of a deal: it's a score ranging from 0 to 10 that is based on the game's average review score, the percentage of the price drop ("savings"), and the game's age. Deals with the largest savings on the best-reviewed and most recent games have the highest Deal Factors. Since we're snobs, we give more weight to the review score than the savings or age (a bad game doesn't get better just because it's cheap or new, and our goal is to help you find the most attractive deals, not just the cheapest or newest games).

IGN 8.5 Shank 2 (360)

The best kind of bloodbath.

1UP 8.5 Shank 2 (360)

But as long as it's great, we're not complaining.

GiantBomb 4.0 X-Men Destiny (360)

As mediocre as it is half-finished, X-Men: Destiny’s rare glimpses of something better make it all the more disappointing.

Splitkick 3.0 X-Men Destiny (360)

As far as superheroes go, the X-Men have had a pretty good run when it comes to videogame adaptations. There have certainly been some low points, but compare the releases bearing their name to those featuring a man who is neither bird nor plane, and Charles Xavier’s pals come out looking pretty good. Whether it’s because of the Konami arcade game, or the brilliant X-Men Legends games, it’s easy to approach one of their tie-in titles with optimism. Unfortunately, X-Men Destiny will betray that optimism immediately.
