So, mediocre games like SRS and Under the Skin are favored more than the quirky beauty that is Katamari Damacy!??? I think I found my new toilet paper that is PSE2 Magazine.....

Second Sight Platinum? War crime...

Shellshock Nam is one of the worst games I tried this year.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

SRS, Under the Skin, and Shellshock...better than Katamari Damacy. Well I can see their opinion is wrong. At least they were smart enough to give Gradius V above 8/10, but the rest is bullcrap.

 

[Meier]

Under the Skin was fucking awesome at E3 (one of my top 5 along with Katamari Damacy). I refuse to believe it can be as bad as some outlets are saying.

I'm skeptical of any mag that gives 12 games in one month a score of 88% or better though regardless.

 

[Musashi Wins!]

This is the first faintly positive review Under the Skin has received. They seem to live in Bizarro world for most of the games.

Are those Filipino children?

 

[Pedigree Chum]

Who the fuck reviews the games over there? They need to fucking lay off the crack pipe.

Uhh...you dorks do know that PSE2 is a joke mag, right? They purposely give the worst games the highest scores so the publishers would print their quote in print ads, TV ads, box arts and etc.

Common knowledge. Everyone who works there shits on journalistic integrity. Fuck them.

SLANDER! SLANDER! BAN HIM! HE MUST BE BANNED!

Anyway, The Guy Game should be higher then.

 

[AlphaSnake]

:lol :lol I just want them to stop getting upset over a magazine that's about as useful as toilet paper.

SLANDER! SLANDER! BAN HIM! HE MUST BE BANNED!

Anyway, The Guy Game should be higher then.

* The Guy Game - 60% (Tin)


They gave it a TIN award, man. That's really good! Although from what I've seen of this rag....er, mag, this is one of the lowest scores they give.

Somebody has to be the one to call You Got Served the "Movie Experience of the Year!". I love those comments that are clearly edited and can be taken many ways. You could say "Shellshock is amazingly stupid in it's design" and then it appears on the box as "Shellshock is amazing...". :lol

I even seen some ads where they take two seperate game or movie reviews and combine them to make a positive comment.

 

[MetatronM]

I don't know about you, but handing out 3 98s in one month makes me shake my head a bit too.

 

[NotMSRP]

Geez... These guys toss out 90%+ scores like confetti.
