This reminds me of a puzzle!

Yeah, it's extremely odd. This game caught my eye immediately and seems exciting and fairly original- much more so than something like Modern Warfare 2 (not that its a bad game, but it certainly didn't excite me).
I've been puzzled by the weak response to Bayonetta, as well.

And the comment aimed at tmac was aimed at tmac.

Personally, I thought Beat was good, but certainly not everyone's cup of tea. I preferred Core, and I think most people in general would.

Congratulations tmac, you managed not to get a joke/intentional exaggeration.

The 6 people are philosophers, although in this context, I'm assuming they're sort of sorcerers.

It's hilarious the way everyone has a a video game publication to laugh at, as though others are much better.
Also, there's nothing wrong with scores. Yes, it's silly to have 100 (or 40) point scales, but scores are useful for numerous reasons.

Isn't Valkyrie Chronicles by Sega? Are you implying that VC isn't something to be proud of?

Try WipEout: Pulse. It's extremely good. WipEout: Pure is pretty good as well, but I prefer the feel of the ships on Pulse (feels less heavy).
