I agree. He basically just guaranteed a bunch of buys, just so people can see if he is lieing. Though, I stil don't expect it to be all that great.

Oh wait. X3F sounded more negative than it actually was, for some reason, to me.

Haha, I liked the review.

Yeah, his review was more detailed than some i have read in all those magazines i subscribe to (except PLAY, i think they are getting it right finally) he is honest and knows exactly what he means since he is working on it. That being said, it does not mean that every developer CAN review their own game or for that matter SHOULD review their own game, its just to much bias in it.

I think he's making a Bad joke at the fact that -2-D is not -H-D, as in, the proceeding letter/number before the D.

It's all very tounge-in-cheek, you have to read the actual "Review" to really get it.

Yeah I'd take anyone to mat for complaining that 2-D isn't for the HD era, or that 2-D gaming is limited. That's like saying that playing games on a tv is a waste of time because we haven't hit the holographic entertainment format yet. Bull.

Any gamer that's over the age of 20 knows the benefits of 2D gaming for sure, and those younger than 20 have had ample chance to school themselves on what they missed out on when it was new. I mean, look at XBLA alone: Castle Crashers, Pac-Man Championship Edition, Castlevania Symphony of The Night, Bionic Commando Rearmed (looks 3D but plays in a 2D flavored world)...I could go on and on.
Mario for god sakes. Super effing Mario. Tetris? 99% of all the games in the arcades we played growing up?
I mean..jeeze. 2D has a place!
True game developers are artists I feel, and if the developer had a vision that 2D couldn't express, then fine; I see that as an artist needing to paint with oils but all he had was acrylic. I get it and I respect that.
But to say 2D isn't viable anymore is just wrong.
Look at Castlevania anymore; it was terrible in 3D. A lot of people would argue that most fighters should stay 2D, too.

Just because 3D is the new big 'step', that doesn't mean it's right for everything. I know it exists, but I would never want to play a 3D Monopoly game. I could care less about playing a 3D Pac-Man either. Hell, I still haven't seen or played a decent Batman game that gave Bats a proper 3D cape yet..

Deep breaths now Mr Whiskey. James Silva's review is written with tounge firmly in cheek.

He wasn't bashing 2D, quite the opposite ;o)

As was said, please read the review before commenting seriously about the above article.

Just click on the picture of Silva. Go ahead. Do it now. We'll wait.

Awesome review and only increases my interest in this game. I'll be buying it regardless though since hopefully all profits will go towards creating his next Survival Crisis Z game.

I'm not amused. It would have been a lot more interesting if it had been a serious self critique and not a throw away joke. That being said, the fact that some people are taking it seriously (probably without having actually looked at it) is kind of funny.

Umm for those who havne't figured it out yet or haven't actually read the "review". IT'S A JOKE!! The "review" is all sarcasm. Some of the faults that he points out is the game doesn't let you wash dishes, and it's in 2D which isn't HD. Both of which are obvious jokes.

I'm confused. Surely, if you're wearing a manskirt, then you're not nude?

I'm pretty sure a large number of the comments here have given me cancer. I'll be sending you my medical bills.
