Review: 'Armored Core V' - High Performance or a Clunker? (Xbox 360, PS3)
Posted 3/26/12 2:06 pm EST by Charles Webb in PS3, Reviews, Video, Xbox 360
One of the genres that could really use some love this console generation is the mech combat game. Quick, name three recent ones. Yeah, it's a bummer, right? Well, here's From Software, developers of the long-running Armored Core series seemingly here to rescue us from the lack of vertical suit mayhem.
Unfortunately, for so many reasons, Armored Core V is thoroughly, almost intentionally unapproachable, its inscrutability extending from its perfunctory, hazy story, to its overly-complicated, unintuitive UI, all propping up a dire gameplay experience.

Review: 'Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations' (Xbox 360, PS3) Is, In Fact, Full of Ninjas

And while I feel a little bad about starting off this review of Naruto Shippuden UNSG, I wanted to give some context to the praise I'm about to bestow upon this 3D fighter.
Featuring a surprisingly tactical one-on-one fighting experience, eye-popping, ripped-from-the-anime visuals, and more than enough to sate the appetites of Naruto fans, it's a fascinating wildcard entry in the most recent crop of new fighting games.
