Get over it.

@ Deric Lee -

You're an idiot for buying a non-refundable product before reading what other people had to say about it. I waited five days and have no problems playing.

Jason, you shouldn't try so hard to justify your score by overshooting it with fancy vocabulary. Your article screams, "hated it!" while you claim that it was mediocre. You make good points, but they're lost among the fancypants vernacular and movie reference spam.

I don't expect to revisit this "review" anytime soon. Metacritic and its wonderful plethora of summaries in layman's terms, here I come!

(Oh, by the way: the game is really, really good. Too bad Mr. Destructoid Dictionary here didn't notice. He must have been )

Wouldn't bet on it. Metacritic has it listed at 44 and dropping.

Refinedsugar, I'm with you.

Comments like these last five pages make saying the words "video game" in the news like walking on eggshells.

We're digging our own grave by being so quick to lash out.

No one is blaming the game. Why is everyone so defensive?

Setting a rule isn't a cut-and-dry thing, though. Some rules work great, and some not at all. He may have had a time limit every night. No one knows.

Go easy on the "bad parenting" comments. I guarantee that EVERYONE who has bashed the parents so far has no clue what being a parent is about.

It's not an easy task, okay? You have to maintain discipline, but you can't force your child to do anything. If the kid wants to run away from home, what do you expect his dad to do: chain him to the bed? Then we'd be reading about...you guessed it - bad parenting. They just can't win.

Letting him play a Mature-rated game so often and helping him pack his bags were mistakes in retrospect, I agree. Stupid.
But what do you expect? Mature games don't make criminals, so why does it matter? If the kid's making good grades and behaving, then let him play - there are far worse things to subject a child to.

The parents did the RIGHT thing by taking away the Xbox when he started misbehaving. And if you read the article, they're NOT blaming the game: they're blaming the Xbox Live community, which for all its glory is still full of absolute retards and hoodlums.

So give the parents a break. They lost their kid, and they've admitted their faults. Now they just want him back, and they don't want other parents to make the same mistakes (i.e. letting a 15-year-old play Live unsupervised).

If there's no squad per se, then how does it have 4-plater co-op?
