    "  Before I explain what makes this game so amazing, I feel obligated to share a few minor facts about "Deadly Premonition":
    • The graphics are terrible.
    • The character models are terrible.
    • The animations are terrible.
    • The weapons are terrible.
    • The combat and controls are terrible.
    • The sound effects are terrible.
    • The map and guidance system is terrible.
    • The music is terrible.

    For some ridiculous, unknown reason, a large group of so-called "professional game journalists" have decided that this list of inconsequential trivialities somehow makes "Deadly Premonitions" a terrible game. IGN describes it as "awful in nearly every way" and dumps it with a 2 / 10 score. Cheat Code Central, the website located in the middle of Cheat Code City, states "Deadly Premonition is not a good game" and slaps a 2.5 / 10 score onto it. Gamespot, a spot composed entirely of games, despised it so much that they refused to review it, and instead offered their entire synopsis in the following sentence:

    "Deadly Premonition - X360 - Adventure - Ignition Entertainment" " 
     
    Enjoy. It's pretty good.

    Their review was accurate. Everything about it sucks, but there's an intangible quality to it that requires playing to understand.

    The point is that it isn't concise.  There's nothing (important) for him or her to say in 4 pages that couldn't be said in half as many.  After skimming the first couple of pages, all I see is the reviewer calling out other reviews (great way to start a review by the way) and a summary of what happens in the first hour (?) of the game.  *yawn*

    @MrGtD: 
    You mean something awful the premier internet games review site who's review of Bioshock sets a new standard in the amazing new field of journalism recording the growing respect and acceptance of the amazing new art form I choose to call "vid-cons" (some of the you lesser people may know them as video games) brought to us mainly from the glorious island nation of Nippon (Japan to you dullard gaijin).
