It’s a shame because I can see the potential in BRINK , and there are definitely quite a few unique ideas – and some which are clearly sampled – which, if they’d been pulled together properly and worked on would have made for a great game experience. Unfortunately, they don’t, and the game is simply nowhere near what FPS fans expect at this point in time. Two stars. Read more
Bastion is one of the best downloadable games this year, but I didn't believe it right away. From the first time I saw it, I knew that the game was witty -- as evident from the narrator who literally narrates just about everything you do as you do it -- but Bastion was still just an action role-playing game. I moved through an area with my two weapons, shield, and special attack. No big deal. Read more
Closing Comments When I beat Bastion for the first time, I reloaded my save and played through for the second ending. When that was done, I started my new game plus. I'm not the repeat type of gamer, but Bastion's leveling, weapon upgrades, and difficulty tweaks are just too gosh-darn addictive. The story could've been better, but it doesn't matter.

Well said fatdog. This game is much better on PC. It does deserve more the 5 points. I give it a 7.5. If Splash Damage give it some good support with solid patches, new maps and some tweaks then it will be a 8/10 game. There is a patch due out this week and more on the way from the info given. So not long to wait. Everyone can tell that Gamearena are reviewing consoles games only now days. That is sad because this place was supported mainly by PC gamers. Read more
