The whole point of the review is that it's not fair to bash Mortal Kombat just because it's astonishingly awful, zipp. The bit about the 'ten' is a joke and the score of '1' is the only score that really makes sense after thoroughly reading the review. It was indeed satire.
"Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." - John F. Kennedy on reality
"What if everything you see is more than what you see--the person next to you is a warrior and the space that appears empty is a secret door to another world? What if something appears that shouldn't? You either dismiss it, or you accept that there is much more to the world than you think. Perhaps it really is a doorway, and if you choose to go inside, you'll find many unexpected things." - Shigeru Miyamoto on secret doors to another world
