FIRST KMART IN-STORE CUSTOMER GENERATED REVIEWS
As you know, peer gaming reviews are often the best way to determine hottest games and releases. Unfortunately, finding fellow peer reviews has often been limited to researching online sites. That is until now…Kmart is taking gaming reviews to an all new level with their first batch of customer generated game reviews posted in stores. To read more about this nationwide program, visit http://www.mykmart.com/mykmart_blog/The-first-round-of-customer-game-reviews-are-up-in-stores.
The reviews focus on four games: Crackdown 2, Madden 11, NCAA Football 11 and Starcraft 2. See below for the review text. Links to the full customer reviews are also available via the KmartGamer.com blog post:
* Crackdown 2: Is this a revolutionary next step in the franchise? Probably not. But Crackdown 2 still shines on its own with [more intense battles]. – russocp
* Madden 11: In all [of] the fundamental reasons you buy a football game, Madden NFL 11 hits it on the screws. – Kotaku.com
* NCAA Football 11: The graphics [are] polished and the characters look more limber than ever. The controls are easy to use. The voiceovers are excellent, but can get repetitive. – Oasis304
* Starcraft 2: Starcraft 2 had a lot to live up to, and it delivers with great stride of excellence, beauty and hardcore [real-time strategy] action. – ShinoShi
