I'm sure the game sucks and all, I have no reason to doubt that it sucks. But it appears that you might be making a habit of not finishing games that you don't like.
Not trying to be a dick here, I love your work. But as the reviews editor on a site that is now being picked up by sites like metacritic who's scores affect peoples' incomes and bonuses, getting in the habit of not finishing bad games could give you an unwanted reputation.
I mean, if you were a co-worker at the water cooler and I asked about this game, and your response was that you didn't even finish it because it sucked so bad, then that'd be cool. We'd laugh about it and end with a sweet fist pound before heading back to our cubes to slowly die of boredom.
But your job isn't to sit in a cube and fight excel all day, it's to play games. And I would think that you would tackle all the un-fun parts of your job in the same way that we do our jobs, which are much more un-fun. Again, not trying to be a dick, but I do want to point this out before you get an unwanted reputation.
And yes, your review is funny and enjoyable to read, as always.
