I go where the gaming news takes me. Most respected gaming editorials get blocked in my office, so this is one of the few I can relieve that itch to talk about games with other gamers. Metacritic isn't blocked either, and so trial and error led me to this one. I literally clicked every link until one wasn't blocked.…

If my employer started garnishing my wages by 1/6th I'd say it's a large chunk! :)

Yeah true LOL

Root: The Metacritic impact isn't about swaying a gamer on the fence, who would not have bought the game at a score or 89. It's a tool used by many investors, both professional and casual. There are other such sites, and programs used to tabulated and pool various results across the internet, but Metacritic is the…

I see you keeping with the "Ban Mike R" campaign. You are so sad. Take responsibility for yourself. No one made you come to Scott Jones' defense, so stop acting like you were compelled by godly forces to put your two non-cents into anything.

There is a direct correlation with "lots of advertisements" and games that will review well. But it's not quite the conspiracy that some are making it out to be (not only here at AVC).

Asdf: If you want to see marginalization of the review process. Sort by grade the scores on the recent games tab here at AVC. There you will see the likes of Ilomilo laughing haughtily over the behemoths LBP2 and Dead Space 2.

Scott Jones Vs. Mike R Vs. Metacritic
It's a new day, so I'll start by saying I won't continue yesterday's feuds (I'll start a new comment :) )

And the fact that they're AAA for a reason, baby!

@Illogicaljoker—BAHAHHAHAHAHHAA

TI: DR

Zpoc for president!

RB, I won't be going on any shooting sprees. You are constantly misunderstanding my enthusiasm, granted if you were in this room right now, I'd take the time to make myself clear with a pimp-smack to your grill. I think you seeking me out is cowardly, because I'm positive that if we were having this conversation say…

Hyperbole Much?

perfectly said, newc02531. I said this before about avc games review section.

I did discover this site through a bogus SJ review many eons ago. Not much has changed.

Wait so now I'm taking advise from Hitler?! This really is the Wild West. How did that username fly? Proof again of the lack of oversight.

Yes! I have petitioned AVC to fire this schmuck many times, but AVC's henchmen keep coming to SJ's defense when it is absolutely clear that he doesn't like video games and really doesn't know how to write a review on them.

C'mon RB,

Yeah Salmon, you're right! Sorry about that. In my defense, I've once again attempted to wake myself up with AVC reviews instead of coffee, which is always a bad idea on Mondays.
