(5% off) at Amazon Deal Factor 5.0 (details) Deal Factor for "Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (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).

For "Battlefield: Bad Company 2" the Deal Factor details look like this:

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is an upcoming first-person shooter video game in development by EA Digital Illusions CE and to be published by Electronic Arts for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. Gameplay in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 resembles that of the original and is set in various environments from around the world, including the mountainous regions along the borders of Russia. Like its predecessor, Bad Company 2 features destructible environments. The system is dubbed "Destruction 2.0," and the level of destruction is extended — players can now completely collapse a building as opposed to only blowing out walls. Along with Battlefield Vietnam, Bad Company 2 is one of only two games in the Battlefield series to have blood without third-party modification. There will be new vehicles in Bad Company 2, such as the UH-60, a quad bike, a two-man patrol boat, a personal watercraft, an AA-gun mounted on a light tank, and a UAV helicopter controlled via computer.

... from the industry's most credible critics

Tuesday, February 07, 2012

IGN 8.0 The Darkness II (360)

Prepare to feel the power.

GiantBomb 8.0 The Darkness II (360)

Digital Extremes ably picks up where Starbreeze left off, crafting a satisfyingly brutal adventure that only rarely loses its way.

Game Informer 7.5 The Darkness II (360)

The Darkness II Review: A lovesick killer loses his soul

GameSpot 7.0 The Darkness II (360)

The Darkness II is not the revelation its predecessor was, but ripping up occultists with your demon arms is a blast anyway.

1UP 6.9 The Darkness II (360)

Developer Digital Extreme's Darkness sequel is equally parts inspired as it is bloody.

GameSpot 7.0 Gears of War 3: Raam's Shadow (360)

RAAM's Shadow delivers good Gears action and a novel way to wreak havoc, but it's hampered by uneven pacing and a lackluster narrative.

Tuesday, December 13, 2011

IGN 7.5 Gears of War 3: Raam's Shadow (360)

A good addition to a great series.

Tuesday, December 06, 2011

IGN 3.0 Xotic (360)

Unusual in all the wrong ways.

Thursday, November 17, 2011

GiantBomb 8.0 Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary (360)

It's easy enough to look past the original Halo's more dated qualities given Anniversary's tasteful visual refresh and a combat formula that's still plenty exciting.

Wednesday, November 16, 2011

Game Informer 8.5 Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary (360)

Halo Anniversary Review: Melding The Old And The New

GameSpot 8.0 Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary (360)

Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary revitalizes an enduring classic.

Splitkick 6.0 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (360)

The series has been refined too many times for a release to outright suck, but it may also have been around too long for any subsequent Call of Duty game to truly excite. Everything here is passable, save the worst of the multiplayer maps, and I guess that might be enough for some. Unfortunately then, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 shows the signs of its assumedly tumultuous development and the signs of a franchise going stale.
