Oh you think he's cute now... but just you wait. He'll grow up and get bigger, then mom'll flush him down the toilet when he eats your cat. Then he'll keep growing in the sewers of your town and the next thing you know... they're making movies about the error of your way.
No worries, I've seen the movie 'It,' I just need to put up a few posters around town offering about 5200 experience and a couple palty gold pieces, maybe a +1 knife painted green and eventually that sucker'll go down like a clown.
Also..not sure why people bother arguing with teecakes... I sincerely believe now that he is a bot built by Sony and unleashed on small community sites.

The PS3 version is unplayable.... at least the 360 version moves when something is happening.
- Wow, that's quite an indictment. Hope you can take the heat. Tea&cakes will try to have you for breakfast.
What makes it unplayable? This couldn't possibly have anything to do with Sony making the PS3 difficult to dev on resulting in an inferior port, right. lul.

That's easily the coolest review pack I've seen. The most interesting one I've ever had was for Wolfenstein and that was only because it came with a laser-jet printed guide to the early stages of the game.

Single digit framerates.
360 version is also weak sauce but at least it has a good framerate. Pc version is really the only one that works as advertised IMHO.
So, is this how they are sending out late review copies or is this just from some friend with time on his/her hands and eyes on your prize?
These are "special" review copies that get sent to some reviewers, there was another linked in this thread from Kotaku where he had to chisel through some rock to get to the game.
I would stay away from that energy drink, it could be infused with dragon. And if my wild assumptions and lack of sleep have taught me anything, it's that if you consume such a beverage you'll undergo a dark conversion and transform into that sweet Reign of Fire mod of Matthew McConaughey. At which point you will shave your head and grow a shitty beard, then "defeat" a dragon with your "sick" tribal tattoos and ability to jump into it's mouth and get killed by it.
More to the point, I'm thinking of picking this up for PC after November's gaming sweeps is over and my bank account can recover. Hopefully my PC is up to the task.

Oh totally, I mean, I'm certainly going to up my score at LEAST a half a point because they gave me an energy drink with some creative packaging.
(can you hear my eyes rolling from there?)
Sorry, in my view, reviewers should have to PAY for their copy just like everyone else. It's the only way to make sure they are giving it a FAIR review. I used to review porn, and it was the same way. It's hard to judge something you got for free the same way you'd judge something you spent $50 on.
Getting free crap on top of that just makes the review even more suspect.

This is why I trust Consumers Union (Consumer Reports publisher); they buy everything they review. Even if you think you're unbiased and unmoved by a free version, there's the real potential for bias all the same, and it appears tainted despite the denials.

Funny response: I didn't realize porn needed to be reviewed.
Serious response: I disagree. I find myself being more objective when I don't have to spend my own money on a game. Being completely volunteer here, we don't have a budget to buy many games aside from some donations/ads here and there. If I purchase a game, and its shitty, I may be more critical than necessary, on the opposite side of things, if it's good... I may be overly into it. That's not to say I won't review a game I don't buy myself, but I sure don't want to buy some throwaway piece of crap.
Fact of the matter is, most review outlets get their games for free from the publisher. Additionally, there's no way you're getting a game before it hits the market AND paying for it (release date reviews become an impossibility).

Considering that game reviews are opinion pieces, there's chance for bias no matter how you get the title. Perhaps my Need for Speed: SHIFT review would have a higher score if I was way into Sim racers, or I wouldn't have shit all over Sam & Max Season 1 if I had been playing adventure games since they died in the 90's.
Opinions are opinions. We're not getting funded by publishers, they're giving us a copy of a game to write about.
That was nice of Bioware. How was the drink, anyway? Can you sense darkspawn, or did you just get a 30-minute caffeine and sugar buzz?
I'm enjoying the 360 version now. I hadn't planned on getting this, but I eventually preordered. Voicing everyone is great for immersion, and the combat seems carefully crafted and runs smoothly.
What's with all the crybaby bitches on EvAv now? Need a perma-hide option for some. Come on, reviewers should purchase their own review copies? If after 5 seconds of considering that, you couldn't understand why this is not possible, logout and go play with your Duplos, or maybe wait for the Consumer Report review. For fuck's sake.

I disagree ... if you purchase a shitty game and are overly critical of it, that's GREAT! because that's probably the same response the rest of us (who have to PAY to play it) will have!
