Wolverine’s healing factor allows him to survive numerous otherwise-lethal injuries. Over the years he’s been subjected to all manner of stabbings, shootings, and fiery explosions and merely shrugged them off. But is his healing factor enough to withstand the cold vacuum of space?

Crackdown 3: Why a Good Deal Doesn’t Make a Game Score Better
Any time we publish a review that takes a strong stance – positive or negative – on an anticipated game, we get a lot of feedback from our community. Beyond the unavoidable differences of opinion on the quality of a given game (there’s never been a review in any publication that everyone agrees with), there are interesting philosophical questions that arise around how we make our evaluations.
In the case of last week’s Crackdown 3 review, two often-debated topics were raised: Why is a sequel that’s so similar to a well-regarded original now thought of as uninteresting, and what consideration should be given to a game that can be played for next to no cost? These are questions we actually spend quite a lot of time thinking about, and so now seems like a good time to shed light on how we approach those questions and the reasoning behind it so that you can have a better idea of how we review.
