If you aren't sure from the reviews you could try it from Redbox, two bucks a day for games.

The price is the big reason, I've never bought a game at launch.

Reviews are only helpful to me if I'm wondering about the game's technical aspects, like gameplay and online features. Good reviews do contain detailed descriptions about that stuff. However, I usually ignore the opinions in the review. If I know what sort of downsides a game has, going into it, I'll be more forgiving.

I find that if I read enough reviews from a reviewer I can determine where our tastes differ and then apply their likes and dislikes to my own taste. Like Kevin Van Ord at Gamespot gets a lot of mileage out of stupid fun, so when he raves about that kind of thing I know not to put too much stock in it or consider it a selling point. He sold me on Singularity that way and I didn't find it very fun or charming. My tastes usually line up pretty well with Mark at Classic Game Room and Alex Navarro at Giant Bomb (though he's a lot more critical than me). Oh, and Greg Kasavin is god, but he's retired. I wish I was a reviewer.

Yeah, that works for me too. Why nit try to be a reviewer? I think you have what it takes. I have no idea how one would go about that, though.

Start a blog, make a splash with a cool name and an unflinching duty to honesty. And don't whine.

That's not very promising. Completely forgot about this anyway. LOL

It's getting ok scores. 66 on metacritic. Looks like a game to get when it's down to $20.

The people who worked on it have already been fired so at least there will be no guilt involved in buying it cheap. Thanks Activision!

This review says it's not the best gameplay-wise but still a fun time for fans:

Wifespar gave me this for the PS4 for Christmas. Started playing a little bit today - beat Arclight then stopped - and I'm liking it. It's simple and repetitive, but so far it's fun. Great jokes and banter. "Ryan is still trying to friend me on Facebook."

I've made it to the end fight against Sinister's clone waves. I about died laughing when the cow was flying around in the gravity tornado and I shot the shit out of it. As for the movie, that fucking rules my life to the marrow for the next few days still:

I thought that last battle got pretty frustrating, but it was rewarding when I finally beat it. I might have to revisit the game some time soon and try to get some more trophies.

Yeah, I haven't had the urge to play again after dying so many fucking times on the wave with Blockbuster and the others.
