I'd give my lunch a solid 9.

If you feel offended by a trophy name, but not by the fact that Kratos spends his time banging every woman on the game that is not trying to kill him, or ripping the heads of the rest, then you need to get professional help. It's M for "Mature" not for "Mommy! Mommy! The popup said something offensive!".

That's nothing! Colin Powell used footage from Metal Gear Solid to convince the UN security council that Saddam Hussein had a walking robot capable of shooting nukes.

You know what's also fair? Getting the thing you paid for in the first place. It's not a matter of reviews or personal taste, it's called a commercial transaction. Here's a lesson to reviewers: Never trust a publisher that forces you to review a game in a "special" environment.

Very thorough review. My only hope is that this fiasco doesn't kill Maxis.

I learned not to trust EA the hard way. I had to wait three weeks to play Medal Of Honor Airborne because of a botched DRM scheme. These guys will never learn. If you need to get your city building sim fix, there's always SimCity 4 or even CitiesXL, both of which can be bought on a platform that actually works and can be played offline.

Fantastic rant Kevin. I am (I was?) a SimCity fan, but when I heard EA was jumpin on to the always-on bandwagon, I decided I wasn't going to buy the new version. And don't get me started on that bullshit "social experience" canned explanation.

I didn't buy A Virus Named Tom when it was released, but since the devs are so freaking nice, I'll buy it on Steam.

The theme for The Last of Us (composed by Oscar Award winner Gustavo Santaolalla) is pretty good.

'murricans need an amendment that gives them the right to shoot a digital dude in the butthole for points towards an achievement.
