This week's Critical Reception takes a look at the From Software-developed and Sega-published Chromehounds, a mech-combat simulation game for the Xbox 360 in the vein of Armored Core and other notable Japanese mech titles. While Chromehounds scored a not-so-hot 69% average rating, according to GameRankings.com, the reviews ranged from a lowly 40% to an excellent 90%, making this one of the most wide-ranging titles of the year so far in terms of review variance. You can now read the full Gamasutra column on the topic, including further feedback regarding Chromehounds from sites including GamesRadar, GamePro, and 1UP (no registration required, please feel free to link to this column from external websites).
