IGN Video Review
A 12 year old could have done a better review! Aside from Jason Ocampo, I can't think of a single talented journalist there. *Shakes head in bewilderment and then walks away*
What's sad is that you could cut and paste "The Legend of Zelda" or "Mario" into half the places where this review reads "Animal Crossing" and you'd have a perfectly accurate review, but a different score entirely.
Mario's gone virtually nowhere since the N64, and every single post-Ocarina Zelda game has essentially been a carbon rehash of their successful predecessor. Nintendo's stagnancy and unwillingness (inability?) to create and innovate doesn't stop here—it's positively epidemic in their first-party development.
Can this crap, and stop supporting a company that's been resting on their laurels and selling software based solely on nostalgia for the past decade. Pathetic.

Majora's Mask is very different from Ocarina of Time...and so is The Wind Waker, for that matter. I haven't played Twilight Princess yet, it's still in the wrapping, but as far as I am concerned the trend of labeling each LoZ game as a clone of its predecessor is very overrated.

Uh...
What? The entire game is different! Ugh, I am way too tired to argue this but I'm having a hard time comprehending how someone who has played both Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask could say they are the same game.

I'm not attacking his character, I'm saying that this doesn't seem to be the best job for him.
"BiggerBomb said:I also like them, and I catch their podcast every time it's up. I will say that Craig isn't the best reviewer there, though."A 12 year old could have done a better review!
