They failed to produce even an A game (The Conduit - 69 meta), yet they hyped it insanely. I really don't think they can pull it off with Gladiator or Grinder either. They lack the talent, specialy their art director.


Why does it matter what Metacritic says?  I mean, after you buy a game, you don't need somebody else to tell you how good it is.  Personally, I don't play Metacritic and I find reviews are often misleading.  They rate Little King's Story highly so I go out and spend $50 on it, but I bring it home and find out that it puts me to sleep.  That game was repetitive, dumbed down, and boring.  The graphics were bad and It felt like it had been done before.  The Conduit wasn't the best game in the world, but it wasn't terrible.  We all knew what the art looked like before the game even came out.  You can see the work of the artists on both Gladiator A.D. and The Grinder right now -- and it doesn't look bad at all.

Another game that I'm enjoying is Valhalla Knights: Eldar Saga.  This game is averaging something like a 3, but I find it's much more fun then games like Little King's Story that scored really well.  I think reviewers are aften out of touch with reality.
