Anthem's PS4 Price Drops On Amazon Five Days After Its Release

Bioware's new loot-shooter, Anthem, released on February 22 after a week-long period of early access, but just five days later, the game's PS4 version has had a price drop on Amazon, where it's available for $52 instead of $60.

So far, Anthem is still listed at $60 for other platforms and on other retailer's sites.

In Anthem, you team up with three other players in online co-op to defeat enemies, and each member of your squad will have different offensive and defensive abilities based on which javelin suit they choose. Anthem really sets itself apart from similar shooters like Destiny or The Division with its flying mechanic, which allows you to soar through the air as you fight. You're also able to switch between various classes more quickly thanks to your suit-shifting character, a pilot known as a "Freelancer."

The game has received mixed reviews from critics, many of whom expressed frustration at its lackluster story and gameplay that feels unfinished. GameSpot gave the game a 6/10 in our Anthem review. "Anthem has good ideas, but it struggles significantly with the execution," wrote reviews editor Kallie Plagge. "It's a co-op game that works best with no one talking; it buries genuinely interesting character moments and puts its most incomprehensible story bits at the forefront; its combat is exciting until you get to the boss fights and find your wings have been clipped."

If you're interested in checking the game out now that it's slightly cheaper, here's everything you need to know before playing.

MediEvil Review - Bones 'n Brawn

As a remaster of the 1998 puzzle-platformer of the same name, MediEvil holds up reasonably well. Its cartoonishly charming characters and varied, if relatively simplistic, level design both stands the test of time and looks better than ever thanks to a complete graphical overhaul. But as much as MediEvil can feel like a warm blanket of nostalgia--especially for those of us who played the game 21 years ago--it also feels incredibly dated, with jittery controls and camera issues that regularly get in the way of progress. You play as Sir Daniel Fortesque, a dead knight who is returned to life when the sorcerer Zarok makes an unexpected return to Gallowmere, bringing with him hordes of monsters. Fortesque remains every bit as charming a character as he was; his gnarled teeth, warbly voice, and single, rolling eyeball lose none of their charisma in the remastering process. Zarok's design hasn't aged well, though, and the new visuals leave him looking like a plastic doll who’s been

After Pitching Dragon Age Musical DLC, David Gaider Is Finally Getting To Make His Musical Game

Dragon Age lead franchise writer David Gaider is making a new and intriguing-looking musical adventure game Chorus . As it turns out, the veteran game developer--who left BioWare years ago--has been thinking about making a musical game for a long time. In an appearance at the GameSpot Theatre today at PAX Aus about his new game and studio, Gaider said he in fact pitched musical DLC for Dragon Age during his time at BioWare. The musical Dragon Age DLC could have taken place inside the metaphysical Dragon Age realm called The Fade, he said. It was a semi-serious, semi-joking pitch, Gaider said, but whatever the case, it never happened. Gaider is now getting to realize that dream. His new game, Chorus, is a musical adventure game where they big story beats play out through song. Gaider is working on Chorus with Summerfall managing director Liam Esler (former Obsidian, Beamdog developer), while prolific voice actress Laura Bailey (Uncharted, Gears of War) is voicing the main character.
