Well, I’m not entirely sure about you, but I’m some kind of grownup American man-child vicariously living out a fantasy life, loosely based on the Greek conception of universal competition and measuring (that is Agonism for you low brows out there) through gaming.
Enough about that.
So there’s this whole billion dollar market out there where idiot spoon fed MBA try to trick me into buying their game #57 that’s got nothing new, with dated everything that they whip twice yearly out of shackled programing wage slaves.
They’ve (the drooling MBAs) created this kind of marketing platform called Gaming News Sites, where there is a direct correlation between dollars spent and review scores. This is plain obvious, even to the most myopic mountain dew chugging 12 year old.
But there is a breath of fresh air out there. Yahtzee on the Escapist Magazine is unique in that he gives nearly everything a bad review. Including some really awesome games, like The Witcher for instance. It is a crazy awesome RPG, head and shoulders above other titles. The Witcher is like some old school game created by a spooky gifted writer/programmer in his garage during breaks from working at McMeat-ies. Yatzee hated it, but is still plainly a genius. Watch the review, you’ll laugh till you stop.
