We used to do something like this a long time ago at the Nformant. We called them "Translated mini-reviews", and we'd type something up, translate it a few times in babelfish, and them then translate back to English. We'd do it for games on systems we didn't normally review for, as they'd let us get a brief opinion of said game out and also allow us to have a bit of fun.
Here's one by Jon Metts, who now runs PGC:
Original:
Being a huge Crystalis fan back in the NES days, I was more than eager to get my hands on this new portable version on Game Boy Color. Was it worth the wait? Well...kind of. The developers at NST have done a technically competent conversion, but in their quest to improve on this old game, theyve ruined some of the nostalgia I should feel when playing it. For instance, all the music is different. Bad move; ten years down the road, music is the single most memorable thing about a game. Most of the graphics are nice, but some of the menu alterations are ill-conceived. Overall, I think this new version of Crystalis has lost some of the old flair, but its still a pretty good game.

Enormous Crystalis to be can on the days of NES, I supports was more of than in the tendency to receive to age my hands in this new mobile version in the colour of the boy of the play in the waiting period of the value? Well from left... of. Realizers with MC had formed a characterized technically, but with its in this old play, they had getting which can be improved the section of Nostalgia ruined, to which I must believe easily me for the example, all music are different. False movement; 10 years in the deep road, is music of the thing on a play simpler memorable. The majority of the diagrams is pleasant, but some the modifications of the menu, which is falsely understood. Of a general way I think this new version of these from Crystalis destroyed the part of the direction the old smell, but I am always a very good play.
