Apart from, 'has this "videogame journalist" ever considered what goes into making a video game?' I'm all for giving honest opinion but this guy clearly knows JACK. He seems to pick up on all the insignificant points, like a movie critic's summary of a typical Tarrantino film being: "It's a tad violent and not one to watch with your gran." Some classic quotes from our intrepid reporter: [about Total Soccer] "besides normal shooting you can also pass to team-mates" Who would have thought that possible. Tell Alex Ferguson about that zany idea, it may just help Man U win the league next time. [about Adventure Game] "Details like eyes or nose or mouth are not there" I bet he also sees those Picasso paintings and says: "ha, this guy knows nothing -- he draws both eyes on the same side of the face." [about Brain Dead] "After loading the real bad graphics are significant" This is one of the most understated games on Yarose in my opinion -- the only downside is Olly hasn't got it to do those donuts and wheelies! The "bad graphics" have jack-all to do with it -- I mean does this journalist not realise that we all all "one man bands" on Yaroze projects and none of us are brilliant at everything?! One man's bread and all that. He seems to feel the need to relate our games to the likes TR3 and GT, which take >10 *professionals* years to write (and probably the only two games he's ever played since Arkanoid in 1985 while at an arcade in Margate with his parents) But then journo-types seems to be the best at knowing nothing: like the Sun one that ripped the piss out of the SCEE ECTS party, and the editor of OPSM who thinks you need to know "C++" for Yaroze programming. Have some PRIDE.. I mean.. (although it is one of the Se7en deadly sins so, well, I guess that makes me the turkey) Sorry I'm being all opinionated again. Well, its late on a Friday night so what can you do. And why does your girlfriend alway nick your gameboy?
