Review round-up: Blades of Time, SSX, MGS: HD

Gearburn knows that you don’t have time to play every game out there, that’s why we’ve created a trio of reviews, bite-sized portions to sink your teeth into. Blades of Time, SSX and Metal Gear Solid: HD Collection are all new for the Xbox 360, so let’s see which ones captured our gaming hearts.

All games were reviewed on Xbox 360

Blades of Time

Blades of Time is utter nonsense, and a derivative rip-off of Tomb Raider, Bayonette and whatever other third-person adventure you can think of. Created by the oddly named Gaijin Entertainment (Gaijin meaning “alien” or “foreigner”), Blades of Time tries its best to create a cohesive, persistent universe filled with solid combat and a meaty plot. Oddly, it fails at not only this endeavor, but at everything else. The protagonist, Ayumi is a noisy bimbo constantly yammering on about nonsense no-one cares to hear. Muting her voice is sadly, not an option.
