this jaffe piece is a wreck too
I enjoyed it more than 99% of human based shooters on the market
'human based shooters' lol
It doesn't bash U3 at all (for to do so would just be trolling for hits since it's clear there ain't a thing in U3 that is bash worthy)
this is a ridiculously fanboyish statement and i'm wondering what his definition of 'bash' is
*Amazing this review is the one being called 'controversial'. To me, the 10/10 review that either mentions the flaws of the game and still gives a perfect score OR the review that doesn't mention the flaws at all (an even worse crime, assuming the reviewer thought there WERE flaws) is the true controversial review.
it is controversial if there is CONTROVERSY over it, you idiot. it's not an intrinsic property of the review. the examples he mentions are bad but if no one calls them out, they're not controversial.
Look at Guitar Hero, MW3, Angry Birds, Farmville, Mario, Madden, Wii sports, and on and on and on.
yeah, games should definitely be more like farmville
to say nothing of the completely obnoxious tone and talking down to the reader
