I Am Alive... and on the Xbox update

Written By The Angry Spark on Saturday, March 10, 2012 | 10:44

The MUCH delayed and somewhat maligned I Am Alive makes it's appearance on Xbox Live this week, along with DLC for some marquee titles.
From Ashes, the first DLC for the recently released Mass Effect 3 is up, as is another car pack for Forza 4 - the Pirelli pack. Also worth a look for this update is C&C: Red Alert 3 in Games on Demand and links fans might be interested in the demo for Tiger Woods 13.

Though I Am Alive is scoring a respectable 72 on Metacritic at the moment, there are quite a few reviews floating around pointing out a general feel of what might have been. Apparently the game has some glaring technical issues that simply should have been corrected before release. Too bad, though I should mention that there have been a number of games that, while technically not great, have been niche hits thanks to some great ideas.

I haven't played Alive, but the post-cataclysm setting and generally realistic feel do make it seem very interesting. Maybe try before you buy?

I've heard mixed things about I Am Alive so far, usually more on the positive end though. Are we gonna be reviewing it?

Ubisoft hasn't sent us a copy. Given the reviews this has had, I'm certainly not spending my own money on it :P

Yeah that's pretty much what I was thinking lol If a game isn't technically sound, I have problems getting into it in any way. Too bad though, Alive really looks like a cool premise.

I recieved this game for free and personally think it is trash.
