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).

Slide To Play 5.0 Pugs Luv Beats (iPhone)

Pugs Luv Beats is a cool music toy, but not a very good game.

Thursday, November 03, 2011

Pocket Gamer 6.0 Russian Dancing Men (iPhone)

A few tweaks and Russian Dancing Men could be the rhythm-action game to beat on iOS. As it stands, it's too flawed and frustrating to recommend

Tuesday, November 01, 2011

Slide To Play 7.5 Russian Dancing Men (iPhone)

Dance for Mother Russia! Just don't expect it to be easy.

Monday, October 31, 2011

AppSpy 8.0 Russian Dancing Men (iPhone)

Russian Dancing Men revisits a style of rhythm game pioneered by Masaya Matsuura at the turn of the century, pairing simple controls with the hyper-fun and cheery songs of the ever-popular Weebl's-Stuff.

Thursday, October 27, 2011

Gamezebo 6.0 Russian Dancing Men (iPhone)

Pros: Great music. Funny cinematics. Fans of Weebl will appreciate what's on offer here. Cons: Gameplay, though original, isn't excitingly so. Surprisingly high level of difficulty. Asides from the cut scenes, the game lacks visual polish.

Wednesday, October 26, 2011

IGN 5.0 Beat Hazard Ultra (PS3)

Too basic to be this expensive.

Friday, October 21, 2011

GameSpot 8.0 Rocksmith (PS3)

Forget plastic axes; this guitar game is the real deal.

IGN 8.0 Rocksmith (PS3)

Are you ready to (learn how to) rock?

Thursday, September 29, 2011

IGN 6.5 Child of Eden (PS3)

A digital landscape of light and sound.

Monday, September 26, 2011

GameSpot 8.5 Child of Eden (PS3)

Child of Eden may be over quickly, but it offers emotional highs you'll want to experience again and again.

Monday, August 15, 2011

GamePro 9.0 Groove Coaster (iPhone)

If you're looking for a new rhythm game to entertain you on your commute look no further than Groove Coaster.

Monday, August 08, 2011

Gamezebo 6.0 Tap Tap Glee (iPhone)

Pros: Solid rhythm action gameplay. Great if you’re a Glee fan. Cons: More a promotional tool than game. Adds nothing to the series. Strips features from earlier versions, like multiplayer. Limited song selection, with most being premium in-app purchases. Higher difficulties are ridiculous.
