DJ Hero (PS3)

Sale Price $18.06 SALE

(74% off) at Amazon Deal Factor 6.4 (details) Deal Factor for "DJ Hero (PS3)"
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).

Pocket Gamer 7.0 Michael Jackson The Experience HD (iPad)

A slick port of a proven formula. Michael Jackson fans, of which there are many, will find much to enjoy

Gamezebo 7.0 Michael Jackson The Experience HD (iPad)

Pros: Captures the fun and spirit of Jackson’s music videos flawlessly. Wonderfully unique touch screen twist on rhythm gameplay. Cons: Very little content, and almost half of it requires additional in-app purchases. With so few songs, you’d figure they’d want to stick with his bigger hits.
