His review of CoJ:BiB was way too negative. I really loved this game and fully believe this is better than fucking wolfenstein.

Yep. 
 
Your OPINION is correct
 
Jeff's OPINION is wrong.

Yeah, after reading your post everything starts to make sense to me.
 
Edit:
Aww... you edited your post :/ Oh well, "sdfsdf" made as much sense as your new post.

haven't tried wolfenstein yet, but with my experience with COJ: BIB Jeff seemed spot on. 
 
I dont agree with everything though, majoras mask is still an awesome game.

@TooWalrus: you forgot to say "bai"...rude prick. @cdfishman: I don't agree that the action is bland and his score of 3 out of 5 is way too low based on his review. I'm not bitter or anything, don't know why I would be, but i felt like I needed to put it out there. If you don't agree with me, whatever, but from my experience, the zelda series sucks ass. ; )

Learn how to elaborate.  How did you feel he was off the mark?

I thought his review was accurate, though I think I enjoyed the game more than he did.

I only tried the demo, and it seems like a fun western rental. I imagine the online is intolerably slow. I love the cover system, though.

I really liked the game, 3/5 sounds low though, I'd give it a thumbs up 4/5.

what do you mean by slow?  slow-paced?  because it's not, at least not on PC.

I think people tend to forget the concept of opinions these days.

It's a good thing they didn't take that Call of Juarez advertising package for the site.  Otherwise, this could be a rather hairy situation!

Cover system was below average and Jeff was right, it was an average shooter, you should learn to elaborate on your thoughts otherwise you come off as a moron who doesn't deserve to be listened to

Online is decent, as far as connectivity and fun goes. I liked the cover too; it made me wonder why it got so much flak for being awkward.

It's an opinion. Do you want reviews to come with a disclaimer at the bottom saying: "The views and opinions expressed here might not match those of the reader"? Come on...

The problem with Call of Juarez is that it's really hard to review - the start is crap, the "tutorial", corn-hiding and shooting horseback feels awkward and like it's straight from a budget game. After that, the game kicks into the right trail and it's almost pure win, but some ideas feel a bit underdeveloped.

Besides, only Nemesis cares about stars. It's all about the reviews here - there are plenty of games when in the review you can feel so much entusiasm mixed with a bit of disappointment which can't be reflected in stars.

Having played through the game myself I did enjoy it, especially considering I'm not keen on that time in history. But it was a very solid game, if a little rough around the edge.

I thought it was "if you don't agree with what I say your wrong" isn't that how it works?

He was pretty positive about the game wasn't he? I thought it was a really good game too, and I don't really remember Jeff saying it wasn't?

Did you read Jeff's review of it? It was very positive. Sure, he pointed out it's flaws, but he was largely positive about the game, and gave it a decent score. And at the end of the day, it's just an opinion. You can't expect Jeff's taste in games to line up perfectly with yours.
