The article writer thinks there's a "pack mentality" to reviews on both the professional and gamer sides.

Sure I suppose that is a minor part of it all, but it doesn't sufficiently explain why so many major-website game reviews these days are nothing more than glossy PR blurbs.

I'm trying to get my friends to agree to a tequila tasting party. It's the easiest alcohol to actually understand. Blanco, Anejo, Respado - all very different. I figure I can teach them to be experts at something. And get them to stop trying to use my Don Julio Respado to mix with premade margarita mix.

Margarita mix is a sin.

3 parts Cabo Wabo Reposado
1 part freshly squeezed lime juice
1 part Triple Sec
splash of blue curacao

Shake it like a martini, pour it into a martini glass, and drink it like a martini.

You can also replace the triple sec with Cointreau, Grand Marnier, or any combination of those three to suit your taste

If you do a tasting don't leave out the Cabo Reposado.

Lorne Lanning? The guy who made Oddworld's Odyssey an Xbox exclusive because they offered him a big fat sack of cash money? That Lorne Lanning?

Now he's all "poo poo!" against big publishers? Okay, Lorne. Did you get hit by lightning or something?

Creston

maybe he just ...evolved.... on an intellectual level this time.
humans have been known to do that from time to time

I didn't invent the term 'sexual preference', but it obviously applies equally to a person who prefers a partner of the same sex, so get over it.
My point is that GLBT are perfectly welcome at any existing gamer con's to make themselves separate is unnecessary and smacks of 'look at me, I'm different'.
Newsflash, we're ALL different.
Fwiw, I was engaged to a bi female for months and have gays in my immediate family and gay friends and care for them all as much as the straight ones.

Bundle ALL DLC and the three games, and for $40 I'd be in.

Graphics look so dated now. Gameplay looks repetitive and boring.
