More gaming. Less Industry.
Is it just me or does every single high profile, super hyped, high definition, blockbuster video game automatically get Editor's Choice on this web site?
Just go to the main page here at Gamespot and scroll down to the top ten list at the very bottom.
Every single game is an Editor's Choice! Except of course the new 2D Mario.
Editor's Choice loses its meaning when the Editor chooses every effin game!
Also...those games are all sequels...
Can you smell it? Can you smell the industry at work? I can smell the wheels, the cogs, the oil...I can smell it all.
And it reeks.
Let's cut to the chase. I don't have time to expand on this in an all out article at the moment. Maybe later.
I was reading a review for a game that just came out and the closing paragraph jumped out at me and tried to steal my wallet and tax money!
The Quote:
"I really think Ubisoft has a potential franchise on its hands with this one. I like the formulas in place and love the characters. Here's hoping it sells well so that we can see more of the Rabbids beyond the confines of mini-game compilations."
He said what!?
Read the bold! Read the bold!
Here we have clear evidence that game journalists work for the man. Why would a game journalist want to see a formula driven franchise sell? I though game journalists where supposed to objectively (more or less) let us know what is worth playing or nor. Since when do these reviewers love formula driven derivative garbage that sells sells sells!?
Enough for now. Later I get really mad!
First, Nutella had to die on me, and now this! When will it end!
War!

For those who don't know the difference between franchise and series, read my previous article.
Franchise has a clear connotation.
