Guess who's reviewing S&P 2 at IGN? ROFL!!

You guessed it: Daemon Hatfield. I read this and laughed. Does IGN do this on purpose or are they unaware that he doesn't like Wii games? I wonder what he'll give the game? They should've just given Craig the game to review. Nonetheless, this should be funny. ;)

Lmao I forgot the US IGN has not reviewed it yet, but UK or AU has. He isnt even a Nintendo editor is he?

Well seeing as to how it got a 9.2 from UK (or AU i dont remember) on IGN and a 8.5 from GS (who can be really harsh) it is probably a pretty good game :P.

[QUOTE="wiifan001"]Just because he fails as a gamer this gen...or rather you fail at life in general- yeah, that's what happens when you hate the wii, it's a direct correlation- anyways, it doesn't necessarily mean he'll bash this title just because it's on a wii platform. It could happen, but doesn't mean it will.BrunoBRS

I wouldnt be so skeptical if he had a good reason for not liking the conference, but his reasons sounded like they should have been geared towards the other two not nintendo. I thought nintendo's way of doing the conference was great, it was just one game after another.

LOL not to get off topic too much but MS's kinect is a joke, and jimmy fallons interview stating its the future (he better be kidding) is hillarious. I think the Wiimotion and move are far superior. anyway, I bet he gives S and P an 8.5ish

What's S&P2?

OMG I HATE G4! They are the most biased group of horrible reviewers I have ever seen.

I know Daemon isn'a a big Wii fan, but I am going to go on record and say that I love the friggin guy so I just don't care :P

On a side note, given that the game has an 87 on Metacritic and even a few 10s, I think it's fair to say IGN will give it a good score because it's obviously a great game! I know I'm getting it Sunday! Already have it paid for ;)

If they gave Daemon a 360 or PS3 game he would probably overrate it.

He said on gamescoop that the game is really great

I don't know why people hate him. When he said bad things about nintendo's conference I think he meant presentation wise and not just games. Presentation wise the conference was not the best. Zelda had issues, even though the controls do work, it does sting to be up there on stage with the one of the biggest franchises ever and then have it not work. For 3DS we saw a bunch of videos and whatnot. These games are cool but some of the presentation was not that great. I don't know why anyone cares what reviewers think anyway. I don't know why people watch G4 the whole X play is dunb. Their reviews last generation were crap. The guy reviewer hates anything Japanese so all of those games got mediocre scores just because he doesn't like that style and the way they make fun of everything is annoying so whatever. The only reason I watched it was because I was over at a friends house and he always wanted to.

That compromises he's ability to review any Nintnedo based product because of his obvious negative bias toward Nintendo systems.NeoStar9

If this is the case, then why isn't it also the case that people who like/love Nintendo systems have an obvious positive bias towards Nintendo systems, and thus this compromises their ability to review any Nintendo-made product? ;)

Only robots can review games!!!!!!!

This is going to be interesting. Whatever, it been getting great scores and this game is just insane. I love it so much.

He gave it a 9.0. I'll put it on my list of games to buy eventually.

He gave it a 9/10...:|

[QUOTE="roxlimn"]It would only make sense to put someone to review Nintendo games who hates them, if you also did the same thing with every other game. That is not the case. 360 and PS3 reviewers routinely gloss over weaknesses of hyped 360 and PS3 games. The only time that's happened with a Wii game is with Conduit and Madworld, and only on IGN, really. Since other games are reviewed by people who love playing on those platforms, it stands to reason that the same practice ought to be done for Wii games.clicketyclick

Before this thread is closed, you want to know how we concluded he hates Nintendo? He said so himself on his Game Scoop! Podcast last year after E3 AND on his blog.
