Bedamned mass marketing. I just played what may be one of my top ten favorite games of all time, and no one's saying a fucking word about it.
Microsoft dicked the dog big time with the 360. So much power available, and yet mediocre games are hyped up to the point where $60 a game seems reasonable (guilty as well, of course). Then I go find a gem like Darkwatch, $20, and enjoy it far, far more than I enjoyed a single minute of the so-called "most realistic mind-twist since the Matrix" (?! realistic?), aka Condemned.
Anyway. Long story short: screw Xbox magazine, and forget what you read on the sites that claim to know their games. Go out there and buy a game you'd never even glance at twice normally and give it a go. You may just break outta your box.
Bill Gates, I hope your dong rots off (but thank you for the 360 just the same).
