Alright, just a short post this time regarding game reviews.

I enjo writing detailed reviews on games. My opinion about a game will never be swayed by what system it's on; I can admit that I'm a little jealous of PS3 owners because they got Resistance: Fall of Man and will be getting Haze before I do. However, that's not the focus of this blog. The issue that's spawned this message is me getting negative feedback on my reviews because I didn't like X game as much as Y game.

Two specific examples: my Gears of War review and my Metroid Prime: Corruption review.

Gears of War, I said it was better than Halo. "OMGosh! How could he say that?! I'm such a fanboy that I can't formulate a reasonable opinion about other, newer games!" Let me be the first to say that I'm as excited as anyone else about the release of Halo and I LIKE HALO. I still thought Gears of War was better than the most recent Halo at the time (which was Halo 2), and I supported my opinion.

Metroid Prime, I said it was "uninspired." I'm sorry, but if you disagree, you clearly haven't played many modern FPS games. Anyone who hasn't seen my review, go ahead and look at it. I didn't bash the game. Heck, I gave it an overall rating of "good," but just becuase I don't conform to the fanboyism of some people, they feel the need to give me negative feedback. WTHeck? Look at the character models in Metroid. Outside of Samus, they SUCK. You can not formualte an argument against that. Compared to today's standards, they blow. Does that make the game bad? Not in-and-of-itself; it makes its character design uninspired. I will debate anyone who disagrees with me on this point.

So... point of this rant? Don't give me negative feedback unless you have a legit reason, in which case, send me a message. I have never lied or purposely tried to make a game look bad or good in any of my reviews. I'm sorry if your favorite game isn't my favorite or if you're so loyal to a certain company/franchise that you can't even consider that they might be putting sub-par crap because they know you'll buy it anyway, but don't knock the people who think for themselves.

(end of rant)
