Ironically, it looks like a very stupid thing to expose such a huge brain, especially to an environment of bullets, plasma and projectiles..

Yes, but that's what the hordes of demons are there for - to act as meat shields against invading Doomguys!

Fanboy Service? Because, I remember that people said that Mario 3 was the best mario...

Ah well screw it, IGN is pretty much orders their reviewers to praise/hate games. For example: They can give Halo a 9.5 (exellent), when it should really deserve a 6.1 (mediocre). Or give Portal a 8.5 (great) when they should really be giving it a 9.4 (exellent).

Ah hell, I didn't praised Halo like it is the equal to cocaine in games, so I'll be dead soon by the assasins that microsoft has. Oh well.

Well, rating games with grades is bollocks, if you ask me. I prefer reviews like Edge has; they give grades, but print them small and only mopingly out of deference to 'game-review standards'. Besides, the typical effect of grading has reared its ugly head at IGN, as everywhere else: A 6 has become the sign that something isn't worth the trouble. When something is actually pretty good, it must be given grades so close to 10 (perfect? wha?) to make them stand out, that it just doesn't make sense anymore. A few generations of games later, and you'll be basing your next buy on the difference between Doom 7 getting a 9.991 vs. Quake 6 getting a 9.996 -- I prefer just reading a good exhortation on what the game offers, what it doesn't, and who it is likely to appeal to. Grades are for giving schoolkids that RPG-statgathering-powerplay attitude that institutions seem to like so much.

The problem with a well written... report on a game is that not everyone has the attention span to read the whole thing, I'll read a review of a game if I'm interested in it otherwise I doubt I'd bother to look it up...

and of course once again corporate funding bites us all in the ass...

IMO, problems with regards to one's attention-span are a thing to be solved on the attention deficient's end, not by further reducing the quality/informational value of reviews...

You want to solve attention span problems, bring back nuns with knuckle crackers.  You'll have people paying attention again.

As for games, WE'RE ON TOPIC BLAST IT!  Don't make me split the thread!  Get off topic now, please.  Doom - Exclamation
