of greatness…
A couple of weeks ago, we were banging on about
a liddle game called The Italian Job and how it was actually a
lot of fun, despite low-key press and grumpy reviews.
It feels like we could be in for a funny period
– with sleeper hits eclipsing the hyped-to-the-tits. For
every Tony Hawk’s Underground, there’s a Prince Of
Persia: Sands Of Time. As Project Gotham 2 is shrugged at, Need
For Speed Underground is ogled as the most buxom driving game
in town. See also Italian Job over True Crime, if you really insist.
The point is – you love what you love,
regardless of ground-breaking tech-specs or the size of the standees
in Game. That’s why we try to reflect strong emotions in
the Rodent reviews – love or hate… a recommendation
or a warning. There’s enough 65% mediocrity and committee
reviews, out there. When you read a Rodent review, you’re
jacked in to the passion of the writer alone – ain’t
no high and mighty editorial moral high-ground, round these parts.
Just sayin’.
