        Don't be fooled, it's re-skinned God of War.

            It's kind of bad if you're tired of that style of combat / QTE / cutscenes in games, which I was more than over before God of War 3. It doesn't bring anything new to the table, doesn't resemble Castlevania in the slightest, and is rather boring on top of it all. I grabbed it for a $7 a few weeks ago and have been struggling to play more than 30 minutes at a time before wanting to quit. It's just so bland, even the first few SotC style boss fights were pale imitations with super clunky mechanics.

            I've heard the story gets crazy but I don't think I could make it another 10 hours or whatever absurd length this game has just to see it play out.

              Game's about 20 hours + 10 hours for the DLC, which is just too freaking long.
              I'm 4 hours in and facing the really first titan and want to commit sepukku. It's not a difficult battle at all, just too damn long and I lose interest half-way after my controller fails.

              C:LoS2 has an option to disable QTEs right in the menus.

            It isn't a Castlevania game. They discarded everything that made the series great except for the gothic theme.

            I did buy CV:LoS on steam and I totally regret it. Linear as hell, bland combat, asinine plot (and plot was never the focus of any good CV game). Wasted money.

        Pac-Man Museum has Pac-Man Battle Royale, which is the best reason to grab it.

          I'm guessing that won't have online play?

          The collection also contains the original Pac-Man Championship Edition, which hasn't been available on PC yet.

      Thief's terrible. :(

      I watched the ending the other night. Unbelievably bad. It got a 6/10 from Gamespot.

        Sorry, but sites like Gamespot are why I have come to realize that the only one whose opinion matters on gaming is my own. I don't know if Thief is good or bad, but the last thing i would do is trust that collection of loudmouths and fanboys. This just goes to show that Gamefly is probably the best gaming money I've spent, cause of try before I buy

      FINALLY! A real 'next gen' Wii U title. Looks like I'll need to wipe the dust of this unit.

      Thief seems like one of those games you might buy later on when on sale. There's really not a lot of buzz going around. It sounds like they should of worked on another Deus ex instead of that.
