New Irish tale spun with anti-gaming sentiment

Nov 30th 2006 6:27PM (Joystiq)
I'm Irish and was born not too far from Muchross House and yes I tend to agree with what they say. The value of a good story is infinitely better than ub par interactive media but they have their place. I play Nintendo with my kids because its far more involving than tv. Stories are for bedtime and videogames are for the zero period between scholl exodus and supper.
At least you didnt put a picture of a leprechaun in there.

The Irish are the smartest people in the world. You would be wise to remember that. (And read Ulysses )

Red Steel TV spot aired, for the kids

the review should have stood.
a second opinion would have suficed and given 1up a little more critical credit. as it is, between this and the gears of war 10 they have lost my clicks.

Scores generally go down because people have more time with the game and find more flaws in the design etc. The reviews that were posted the minute the embargo went down were the hyperbole reviews, the gushing omg chumps like the guy from 1up.

Now that guy is entitled to his opinion just like the rest of us but in saying that 1up took down a review last week because the developers complained (i'm specualating )so they didnt respect that reveiwers opinion enough etc .. . . . . .

No game with flaws should get a 10. NO GAME. No game that does not bring something new to the table should get a 10. No game should get a 10 based on eye candy alone. The trend of giving beautiful looking games high marks will cause a disaster in the merit of reviewing as time goes by because all games will look like the best game ever etc.

The one player game in G Of War is 8 to 10 hours long ! That is not very lengthy.
