News:: Bullet Witch's remaster lands on PC today, so let's look at some old reviews

Bullet Witch, an Xbox 360 exclusive from 2007, is getting a PC port today courtesy of Xseed. It's a weird and janky shooter about a witch who's fighting off hell's demons in an apocalyptic America. A press release describes it as "a unique combination of Japanese dark-fantasy aesthetics and Western-style military action."

While I remember Bullet Witch being nothing short of awful, it seems like a prime candidate for cult classic status. I went to Metacritic to make sure I'm not misremembering its reception. Bullet Witch is sitting at a 55 on Metacritic. It was derided, as it has far more negative reviews than positives. However, the majority of critics landed somewhere in the middling range -- 43 thoughtful analyses that can probably be collectively summed up as "meh."

It's impossible to look through scores on Metacritic without your eyes drifting to the often-unfair pullquotes ascribed to each review. Let's single out the ones that feel most like products of 2007:
