Sony Slaps Reviewer for low score on Lair

This is funny, and I have to wonder if GS got a simular booklet from Sony regarding Lair

IGN's 4.9 overall score for Lair was a hard thing to swallow for Sony and the Japanese giant wanted revenge. The pay back came to IGN in the form of "Lair Reviewer's Guide".

beat me too it...:lol:

it's funny how they claim it's simple yet have to explain soooooo much...

oh sony...thanks for the laughs...

face it; your games BLOW... don't kill the messenger...;)

old, but very funny and sad news.

Thats what he gets for scoring Lair below 9.5AgentA-Mi6

Whereexactly did Sony Slap anyone in that article?

They sent a gameplay booklet, which they mention they send for all games.

The only thing is, they sent it after the review, which is odd. Is that such a big deal? Man people honestly will hate on Sony for anything these days. That is truly whats pathetic.

i love your paraphrasing...

"A developer/ publisher sending such content to game reviewers has become common practice nowadays"

that does NOT say they do it for "all games".. as you stated...

please, resist the bovine urge and stay in reality...

thanks

Well considering that Sony sent the booklet AFTER the review was published, if it was as common as that article proclaims wouldn't they have sent the booklet along with the game when it was sent off for reviewing? It was definately a reaction to IGN giving it a poor score, they really ought to grow up, so the game wasn't well recieved, so what? No need to go crying about it. Besides IGN wasn't the only reviewer to give Lair a poor review.

In the booklet it says "You are playing the game wrong." :|

Thisis just another case of hatersjumping all over Sony for every little thing. Are you kidding me? Sending a gameplay guide?

This is not a defense for Lair. Its pointing out that haters are desperate and ravenous little trolls.

Your exaggeration of this non-event is far more of a failure.

If you're going to hate Sony, find a good reason, heck theirs plenty of them, choose one. Not crap like this. IGN is really pathetic for even wasting time to write that article.

Strong arming? With a gameplay guide? lol. Wow thats gotta be the most pathetic strong arming I've ever seen. Sony should never go into the Bouncer business, they might start putting skinny nerds at the door.

Why do you insist on exaggerating this? You just want to hate thats why, get a life.

What's funny is that it got sent out and there are a bunch of problems/typos with it. Check out this link which shows page 7 of the "how to" manual:

lol, they rushed making the booklet to get it out before more bad reviews

they even left some filler text :lol:

that is absolutely amazing! how the hell do they think they have the right to tell reviewers how to review games? sony is going down the sh!tter imo. all the publicity with the ps2 has made their already overlarge head swell to the breaking point.

You can tell he only read the subject title, didn't read the article, and made this completely uninformed response based on zero information.

Congratulations.

how long are you going to ignore the facts and defend sony and their tactics?

Read the entire article.

The booklet wasn't meant as a gameplay guide. It was just sent out to one reviewer, and it wasn't even entirely finished.

He's kind of wrong because sony did not slap anyone. They sent a gameplay guide and IGN made an insinuation about it. And haters are jumping all over it.

Defend sony's actions? lol. I'm defending clarity and sanity, two aspects that seem to be lacking in this thread.

I heard Microsoft is sending out free HALO 3 pens with the game. OH NOEZ! STRONG ARMING CRITICS! It as if they mean to say you better WRITE a good review!

Love your repetition, all out of things to say already?

Yes its a non-event. What in gods name is the big deal about a gameplay guide? Good lord you people really are truly attracted to these asinine topics.
