Madden NFL 12 (Wii)

Sale Price $40.95 SALE

(49% off) at eBay Deal Factor 5.2 (details) Deal Factor for "Madden NFL 12 (Wii)"
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 "Madden NFL 12" the Deal Factor details look like this:

New Game Reviews
... from the industry's most credible critics

Friday, February 10, 2012

IGN 8.5 Grand Slam Tennis 2 (PS3)

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

Pocket Gamer 8.0 DoDonPachi Blissful Death (iPhone)

Another bullet-dodging thrill ride from the king of crazy shmups. But as a straight port of a 2002 arcade game, it doesn't feel as fresh as its Cave cohorts

Thursday, February 09, 2012

IGN 9.0 UFC Undisputed 3 (PS3)

UFC Undisputed returns to the Octagon refreshed and ready to fight.

AppSpy 8.0 DoDonPachi Blissful Death (iPhone)

DoDonPachi Blissful Death takes you a few years in to the past before the events of Resurrection and puts you in control of the 'dolls' you'll eventually need to destroy; as such it's just as frantic and energetic as the series ever gets and a solid release from bullet-hell developer CAVE.

Gamezebo 8.0 Ragdoll Blaster 3 (iPad)
Ragdoll Blaster 3 (iPhone)

Pros: Great graphics and sound. Fun physics puzzling gameplay. Very clever level designs. IAP system is totally optional. Cons: Physics system seems to enjoy freaking out every now and then.

GameSpot 7.5 Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning (PC)

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

Slide To Play 7.5 Boy Loves Girl (iPhone)

When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, you've screwed up. Start the level over and try again.

IGN 7.5 4 Elements II (PC)

Match 3 awesomeness wrapped up in kid-friendly packaging.

Gamezebo 6.0 Raid Leader (iPhone)
Raid Leader (iPad)

Pros: Lovely character models and still images. Drag and drop gameplay mechanics work nicely. IAP system is fairly affordable. Cons: English translation isn't all that great. In-game environments don't really do much. Gameplay feels rather shallow. Audio won't turn on or off reliably. Zero replay value.

Slide To Play 5.0 Raid Leader (iPhone)

Raid Leader’s MMO boss battles are well thought out but poorly executed.

GameSpy 4.0 Gotham City Impostors (PC)

When the Bat's away... his fans will play. Roughly.

Slide To Play 2.5 Battlefield 3: Aftershock (iPhone)

Battlefield 3: Aftershock is an embarrassment.

Wednesday, February 08, 2012

Gamezebo 9.0 Call of Cthulhu: The Wasted Land (iPhone)

Pros: Amazing graphics and sound. Deep, challenging turn-based strategy gameplay. An outstanding adaptation of Lovecraft's Eldritch Horror. Recent update solves all the major problems present in the first version. Cons: High level of difficulty will undoubtedly turn some people off.
