[QUOTE="BZSIN"]Why, because he worked on some PlayStation thing? That proves absolutely nothing.

Some playstation thing? There's a difference betwee 'working on some Playstation thing,' and being the /head/ of a Playstation-focused independent review site.I don't really see how someone could be biased against the platform in the way that you claim given that he worked at such a site long enough to become the Editor in Chief.
I think that Aaron might just a very, very critical person when it comes to some aspects of a game's design than others, possibly. He gave Shadow of the Colossus a lower score than most when he was part of PSXextreme, IIRC, being more critical of the game's shortcomings than other. Perhaps the review's lower than others in this case not because of a bias against the game, but Aaron merely being more critical about the game than others.
*shrugs* I'm not sure, hence why I'm not saying anything for certain here.
See thats the problem I have with his review. It was so unprofessional. Being critical is one thing , blasting it is another. Other reviewers have given multiple pages detailing what they liked about it and what could be done better. This guy on the other hand gets into his one page review looking to find the problems and keeps coming back to them. I am not sure whether he doesn't know how to review a platformer game or was he stoned through it, but clearly it sucks. I
don't understand why this big game can't get Gerstman, Kassavin, etc type reviewers. Whatever. Its just not a small number of people that believe this so there is definetly a consensus that this reviewer just sucked. I think even at some level you guys know that the score is too low but refuse to acknowledge it.
