Yeah, blame the gamers for not buying games with a 55% average.

Didn't you hear? A 55 is the new 95! So yes Wagram is right.

Blaming customers for not buying a customer good is counter-productive in a cosumer market. The market is the master of the gaming universe as they employ developers, publishers, etc.

That said; unless this game gets legs, which I doubt, I think the market has spoken and this game is cursed to oblivion. I don't blame Kinect, I blame SEGA for developing an utterly mediocre game.

Pixel Art can be fun.

Regardless of its score, Rise of Nightmares is among the best three core Kinect games so far, so that should have been reason enough for 360 owners to buy the game.

Hmmm aren't there only 2 core Kinect games so far?

Gunstringer is just about to release as far as I know.

Wow that does make 3 I guess.

Thanks for making me feel better! Now I can tell all my friends that Rise of Nightmares is in the top 3 BEST Kinect core games! ^_^

...and there you have it, folks. Wagram buys bad games, so everybody else is obligated to do the same.

Just because someone else thinks its bad doesn't mean I do. Reviewers opinions aren't the be all and end all.

Looks like my prediction of less than 100k lifetime may be dead-on. Despite the marketing campaign, the game didn't really look that good, so it's no surprise.
