Some may know about zero punctuation. I mean this sarcastically. If not I'm a douche and he's someone from Australia that talks really fast and makes fun of games with little amusing pictures. A long long time ago... like three years which is not in a galaxy far far away. I felt like he was the last bastion of gaming reviewers that had good sensibilities. Not just dolling out 90 metascores for the sake that the company was giving him moneyhats.
Long story short: I was avoiding games he was taking a piss on.
Then I stopped reading his "reviews" and found a lot of games he minced over as complete crap had a lot to offer. Which made me consider he was being paid moneyhats to dump on games.
Perhaps he's just bitter and pissed off that all the fanboys come out all the time, but I'm pretty sure he gets off on that.
No I think his problem is that he hates any game that's not silent hill 2. Which is funny considering the apartment levels that encompass a good 1/6 of your total playtime (7.42 hours first time through, which I remember because I had rented the PS2 and had to beat the games in under two days) are literally all grey walled corridors where you find keys for different apartments. He complains about this problem in games constantly. It's like this part of the game has just whisked though his memory. Go play it again if your going to sing its praises in every other review. Silent hill 1 was better overall, even with its shitty dialog. It was PS1, its the same era that gave us the Jill Sandwich. I can accept that it was all translated poorly. In fact I've played the jap version and the voice acting is decent... not great, but decent. I guess that's not really it either.
So, yeah. he reviews a lot of games badly seemingly for the sake of making fun of them. Which is cool, but your missing out on a lot of fun if you listen to the hatted bastard.
PS steal the indie movie The Revenant (2009) if you haven't seen it. I think its my new favorite zombie movie, just because I can see myself being as silly/oblivious as one of the main characters. Which is why I enjoyed shaun of the dead so much.

hehe, yeah I know. He was my cynical reviewer of choice for awhile though so this was more of a retrospective.
