Welcome to the Reviews Spotlight! I'll be responsible for collecting the Bitmob community's best reviews — or the ones that just amuse me the most — for the foreseeable future. Now that we have the obligatory introduction out of the way, let's get to business!


Magic Johnson has a cure for Hell's AIDS (A Shadows of the Damned review)
By Lou Chou

Despite the title of Lou's review, basketball legend Magic Johnson has very little to do with Shadows of the Damned. Still, he seems pretty happy with Suda 51's newest title. After hearing him compare this survival horror game to Resident Evil 4, I'm suddenly much more interested in giving Shadows of the Damned a purchase.


Bastion: Innovation in narration
By Tristan Damen

Tristan examines how Bastion's use of a narrator helps make the game standout before pondering what other games, like Grand Theft Auto 4, would be like with a similar style. The results are pretty hilarious.

Earth Defense Force 2017 Vs. Insect Armageddon: Who bashes bugs better?
By Michael Rousseau

Bugs! I hate them! I assume you hate them, too. Luckily, at least a couple games exist that let us squish as many of those creepy crawlers as we like. Michael pits two of the best known insect-beaters against each other.

 

Bastion Review (X360) — Tell me how the world ends
By Tristan Damen

More Bastion! More Tristan! More praise for one of the best Xbox Live Arcade games. This all pleases me. If you haven't picked up this beautiful gem yet, I think Tristan will be able to convince you to put your Microsoft Points to good use.


Her name is Catherine, and she will change you
By Eric Koziol

Her name is Rio, and she dances in the sand! Sorry. I couldn't resist. Eric takes a look at AtlusCatherine and comes away impressed. He also recommends that you start the game on the easiest difficulty setting. Wimp.
