Review: Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3 for Xbox 360

12 Jun 2008 07:41:27 PDT

It's not easy to criticize a game that does so many difficult things right. In terms of presentation, Assassin's Creed for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 is a slam dunk: A clever premise, a unique setting, a fully-realized world, beautiful... Conclusion: Why Pick On Poor Assassin's Creed?

If the Wii can make this 'less is better, financially' paradigm stick, I wouldn...
