Games get released, games get reviewed. It’s the circle of life that keeps gaming journalism breathing. When it comes to reviews, timeliness is usually everything. You want to get your opinion out before anyone else because really, promptness alone will earn you some readers. That said, when the dust of the review storm clears there’s often still plenty of relevant commentary to be shared. In short, it’s better late than never.

"Nude Maker is most renowned for its work on Steel Battalion on Xbox, but has also been involved in creating a few adult PC titles. Whether or not it was the former or latter that convinced Platinum Games to hook up with that team for Infinite Space is unclear, but whatever the case the outcome is indeed an intriguing one. Whilst Platinum's first two games were of the action variety, with the stylistically bloody MadWorld on Wii and the intense, high-octane Bayonetta on PlayStation 3 and Xbox ..."
