I really wanted to love Clash of the Titans. Looking at trailers beforehand, I saw a hack n’ slash title that clearly borrowed ideas from God of War, added more weapons and more enemies from Greek Mythology. However, it’s generally not a good sign when a movie tie-in game misses the movie’s release date. It’s also not a good sign when the game releases late and there are still numerous rough edges that should have been addressed by the Game Republic team.

When reviewing a game, it can be really tempting to describe it as Other Game 1 + Other Game 2.  Fallout 3 is just Oblivion plus S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Mass Effect 2 is basically Gears of War with dialog trees, Starcraft is Command and Conquer plus Koreans…you get the picture.  But even though it’s easy and fun to do reviews this way, most people try to avoid it, as it’s generally considered unprofessional.  Generally.
