A new shipment of Hamsterz for the DS came into work a few days ago. As usual I shook my head and sighed in disgust at the little hamster holding knitting needles, but something new caught my eye. It was a little pink bubble with a message, "98%, Family Friendly Gaming."
You guys have got to check out the website. The reviews are terrible, but that's just half the fun. I would love to meet the writers behind the site. It sounds like you could cuss and make them faint. Check out this section from a Motorstorm review, "In my foray into the online world, I could not find one fellow racer who was versed in driving clean, or turning the other cheek." Now that is just taking things too far.
Video games are in the realm of imagination, and still the reviewers can't let their hair down. What do they do when they have a violent fantasy? Chop off a finger or two as punishment? I know I know. Different people have different standards and morals, yada yada yada. I can understand if you don't want to play the Rockstar games because of questionable content, but Final Fantasy X? That's just screwed up.

They may be overly critical, but a recommendation from a site like that will net your game potentially thousands of sales. Whilst you are right to question the intelligence of anyone who believes the Universe was created purely for our benefit by some benevolent diety, you should realise that at this moment in time it is people exactly like them who run the country in which you live.
Why not write some reviews for them? =D
