Final Fantasy XIII-2 (PS3)

Sale Price  $40.00 SALE (33% off) at eBay Deal Factor  7.0 (details) Deal Factor for "Final Fantasy XIII-2 (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).

For "Final Fantasy XIII-2" the Deal Factor details look like this:

Weighted Review Score 3.8

IGN 8.5 Grand Slam Tennis 2 (PS3)

A very confident entry into the tennis genre from EA Sports.

 

1UP 7.7 Gotham City Impostors (PS3)

The team that brought us No One Lives Forever gets another chance to go for laughs.

 

Game Informer 7.0 Shank 2 (PS3)

Shank 2 Review: Blinded By Bloodlust

 

IGN 7.0 Gotham City Impostors (PS3)

A Batman first-person shooter. My god.

Wednesday, February 08, 2012

GameSpot 6.5 Grand Slam Tennis 2 (PS3)

Good visuals and accessible controls can't mask Grand Slam Tennis 2's weak career mode.

Tuesday, February 07, 2012

Game Informer 9.3 Jak and Daxter Collection (PS3)

Jak And Daxter's PS2 Adventures Shine In New HD Collection

 

IGN 9.0 Jak and Daxter Collection (PS3)

The demolition duo has returned!

 

GiantBomb 8.0 Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning (PS3)

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning creates an interesting world and gives you good combat options, but the whole thing overstays its welcome a bit.

 

IGN 8.0 The Simpsons Arcade Game (PS3)

Look out world, The Simpsons are back.

 

GameSpot 7.5 Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning (PS3)

Kingdoms of Amalur's combat and character advancement are fantastic enough to overshadow how bland everything else is.

 

GameSpot 7.0 The Darkness II (PS3)

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 (PS3)

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

Monday, February 06, 2012

1UP 8.5 Shank 2 (PS3)

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