I actually found that quite funny. How often has Mcshea said something or did something factually wrong when reviewing a game. Seriously

The Saboteur - 2.5 - The moment the game turned to black and white Tom turned off his console and gave it a 2.5

Edit - He actually reviewed The Saboteur! But it got a 7.5....

His Prince of Persia Forgotten Sands re-review comes to mind.:P Well ok, more like a correction... and an extra point up for the score.:P

You know if you listened to the hot spot you'd realize that he's not alone another gamespot writer played it and backed up everything he had to say about the game.

They throw darts on a wall of pictures of their reviewers.

I was going to assume that, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was the case!(or is it, really?) ...and then the whole staff was, "uh, oh:(" when it landed on Tom for SS.

Would you prefer if it was reviewed by a fanboy?

No! In fact, the review felt like it was reviewed by a fanboy! A disgruntled one, but a fanboy nonetheless.

They should have just rolled out the objective review robot for this game. Who only reviews games based on facts.

I doubt gamespot cares what scores they give or who they give the review to. There shouldn't be a criteria for who reviews what game. He's pretty well versed in Zelda, having played all the other games, and not blindly loving them all. What other criteria do you need to review a game?

You know what I think is funny? All of the player reviews for Skyward sword. Because one day after release we know for a fact they all beat a 50 hour game and reviewed it after finishing the game. What's also funny is how they're all just throwing around 9's and 10's like the game has zero flaws. I think in the future gamespot should let a random sytsem wars fanboy review a popular game. So he can play it for ten minutes, give it a ten, and thus making the other fanboys happy.

Gotta love the whole "nostalgia" excuse that nintendo haters love to cling to. apparently everyone that gave this a high score is blinded by it and Tom is some sort've prophet that can see the truth :roll:

lol, you guys put way too much stock in numbers people give to stuff you like.

you are supposed to go, "OMG! that's not the right number!" then forget about it not spend days thinking about it, letting it rule your entire existence and plotting about how to avenge your loss by using corel draw for three and a half mins.

Tom McShea is my favorite reviewer. The rage he has caused from the Infamous and the Skyward Sword fanboys is truly epic.

Huh!Can that arguement be used for anyone that has little to no experience with the zelda franchise? That includes reviewers to.

I've always said but you never believed it. Tom Mcshea is a System Wars imaginary creature.
