I try to keep it civil. Overall I just don't like the way she approaches topics, whether I agree or not. I tend to draw the line when I see an article headline, furrow my brow and think, "I bet this one is by Patricia Hernandez" and I'm right most of the time. This is more disappointing than anything.

Joystiq is my preference overall, and Polygon isn't bad, though I often disagree with their reviews.

I hope this trend doesn't come State-side any time soon. I've been planning to (but putting off) buy a PS2 Slim in the hopes of catching up on a few old PS2 titles I never got around to playing (again, putting off).

Let's see, my Four for February would be Spec Ops the Line, Lollipop Chainsaw, The Darkness II and Dishonored, in that order. Dishonored comes last so I can burn through the others and take my time on that one. Might come back to Darkness II and replay it if I like it as much as I liked the first one.
