Somehow I get the feeling that my blog is turning into a personal forum diary... ^^;;; Below are a list of my comments on the latest Metroid Prime Hunters debacle. - Metroid Prime Hunters should have been reviewed by someone who is familiar with and likes the series. This is the same point I made for Super Princess Peach. If Peach was as many claim targetted at the female audience, why didn't they get a female reviewer to do the review (like they did for Nintendogs and Trace Memory)? It's like having gamers who don't understand or appreciate interactive adventure reviewing Phoenix Wright and giving it a low score (ala many other sites). I guess that's why some magazines opt for the multi-reviewer system, each with his/her personal views and bias. They usually give less in-depth coverage, but you know whose score you should refer to if the title you are interested in isn't one of the mainstream ones. - Was gamers' vehement reaction to the review justified? In some ways, yes. It was "unforgiveable" from a professional standpoint because GameSpot is one of the most influential gaming publications on the Internet. Yes, reviewers are human and can make mistake, but to make so many factual errors that could have been avoided by playing through a few games, reading reviews from other sites, or simply going through the manual - even verified and screened by any of the GS members - it's almost absurd to assume that gamers would simply let it slip. Really, it isn't so much as the fact that the reviewers were proven fallible as much as the way GameSpot handled the whole issue that's ticking gamers off. Let's hope GameSpot comes away learning something from this. In all honesty, I feel sorry for Bob. He is a good person and you can tell from his video review how distraught he is from the whole incident. - I think what we need is a dedicated DS reviewer. Someone who can appreciate what the DS has to offer, instead of a group of people who obviously consider playing DS games a nuisance routine in their daily job. Nintendo games usually speaks to the heart and soul, and frankly this is not something I am seeing in the reviewers handling the DS reviews.
