Hour of Victory Review

Ballistics Report and Conclusion

Pros

The initial concept
At least the idea of controlling a three man covert team in WWII, each with an different specialty, is a good one.

Cons

Poor execution
You go through the same missions with slightly different routes with each member, with little replay value.

Horrible AI
Seeing Nazis run by you and even ignoring you is almost laughable

Sub-par visuals
Epic's Unreal Engine 3 can and has been used far better than this ugly mess.


Conclusion


40%
Again, Midway has released far better games than Hour of Victory which makes the fact that this game was even allowed to be released far more puzzling. We know Midway has actually canceled games that didn't come up to their standards. This one should have qualified for such treatment. We hope that if they are faced with a similar situation in the future they will bite the bullet and just keep games as poorly created as this one off store shelves.

Shattered Horizon Review
Shattered Horizon Review
FutureMark, well known for their popular 3DMark benchmarks, is venturing into new territory with Shattered Horizon. This multiplayer shooter is perhaps best known for its system requirements -- the game supports DX10 only -- but there's more underneath the surface of this game than fancy visuals. Is it worth its $20 price tag though? Read Vandy's take inside!
