User Reviews of the Month - October
Congratulations to our second round of reviewers of the month! Check out the reviews that got them here below (they're listed in random order. I'll mix up the order of the sites each month).
Borderlands

BL sacrifices realism in many departments for an enjoyable gaming experience, which proves to be an exceptionally good trade-off. It’s truly an incredibly fun game, and the leveling system and variation in equipment create an addictive and enthralling adventure. I highly recommend this, one of the best PS3 games to date.

Pokemon Platinum
By K-Man
A taste
The Pokemon franchise has got to be a one the most iconic phenomena of our time. Sure it received lots of controversy but regardless of that, it managed to break through and become one of the most beloved game we've played. Pokemon continues to always come strong and regardless of a third version or remake of a remade game, people are still willing to buy it because deep down we all know Pokemon delivers that simple but RPG goodness and also the feeling of collecting as many Pokemon as you can. I am obviously rating this game a solid 9 out of 10. Gameplay still sticks to its roots, graphics is bright and lively but only some tweaks have been made, Pokemon Plaza could've been better and I still cannot capture that damn shiny Ditto, RAGGGGGEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

Left 4 Dead
By DaBomb12
A taste
Left 4 Dead all in all is a fantastic game and is a must have for any FPS gamer. It is by far the best co-op experience you can have by means of gaming and has acquired a rock solid community and fan base to support it. Although the much awaited sequel to Left 4 Dead is not stopping the new flow of DLC and updates from Valve, Left 4 Dead is still as much of an experiment as it was a hit title, as it will set benchmarks for future co-op FPS titles.

Tales Of Vesperia
By Kisschasy
A taste
Us PAL gamers have not seen much of the critically acclaimed Tales series. We have only had access to Tales Of Symphonia and the re-made Tales of Phantasia. The Tales series is a massive hit in Japan which made it all the more surprising to find out that an exclusive Tales game for the 360 was being made. We have had to wait longer then the US and it began to seem as if we were not going to see this wonderful RPG on Australian shelves. Thankfully it did come out because it may be the best RPG on the Xbox360.

Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
By KK1387
A taste
This game very much stands shoulder to shoulder with its predecessor, delivering an immersive and action-packed adventure. Visuals and audio add a lot to the feel of the game. A very large world to explore in combination with the huge range of creatures you encounter would make this game very much worth it on its own - throw in another two updated games and give it the price of a standard Wii game and you have a must-buy.
