I have thought a lot about this review, and I hope people who are defending this review read through this post so they can understand where the criticism is coming from.

I don't treat gaming reviews as some sacred cow, I am merely expressing my displeasure with this specific review.

Again, you are speaking about this like it is a novel or a piece of literature where a rule set doesn't apply. When James Joyce wrote Ulysses, he did not need to adhere to how to tell stories, because he is creating something.

That is kind of my annoyance with this review. Bill Hicks was a performer, while Kirk Hamilton is supposed to be a reporter. This is not a review, just based on content it is not a review it reads more like a story. The should be an informative look at the game that details what people can expect if they by it. …

Can't we just enjoy anything anymore? So what if it’s not perfect, that is not the point. How many games of your youth had imperfections or flaws? Pretty much all of them. Final Fantasy 7 had a host of bugs, long Summon animation, nonsensical plot lines, but I love ever single second of that game. Ocarina of Time had…

@QualityJeverage: Why don't you play the Dead Space level in Little Big Planet?

@Teran: You're right, its better to act like its no biggie.

@KassiaHaoe: Agreed

@Đipic: Agreed, as the subject line reads "ridiculous"

@Stephen Totilo: How do we know that Totilo didn't tear that PR Ladies pantyhose in a moment of wild Brutal Legend induced rocker passion! Ladies beware: Stephen is breaking hearts and tearing articles of clothing!

@Brian Crecente: He hasn't mentioned it much, you need to ream him out for that Crecente. Crack the whip!

No Totilo, not Fox News! They will eat your soul!
