I deeply suspect that the majority of the gaming public are letting this game sit under their radar, with Beyonetta taking the lead in intrest for carnage and orb collecting, thanks to their cool soundtrack on the commercials.

So yeah, due to bad monitors, partial laziness, and MW2, I’ve been slacking badly on good ol’ SHR. So here for your enjoyment is a review roundup of a few of the games of the last 6 months. Enjoy!
