So when I first followed the site on Facebook a few months back I thought they were interesting and some of their articles were interesting, but late like the last few months they have been loosing my interest for making horrible articles that aren't even researched, poorly written, or down right insulting to a very large group of people. It started with them making an article saying that a bunch of Adventure games were basically Zelda Clones in this list were Darksiders and Okami. In the same article the writer goes and says that Starfox is the worst franchise and should have never been made. Then today I find them posting an article in which they call Shovel Knight a Wii U exclusive when that has been released on Wii U, 3DS, and PC while working on a PS4 and Vita port.

For what it's worth, I think it's worthwhile calling sites like these - particularly when they seem to be at least fronting professionalism - on their bullshit. They shouldn't get a free pass on false info because "whatever, it doesn't affect my life". This is, of course, suggesting they are actually delivering false information. I don't actually care enough to do my own research.

Though, perhaps maybe the GB forums isn't the place to vent your frustrations. Might I suggest the official Facebook page you mentioned? Another fan-operated Zelda site?

To be fair, Darksiders 1 is a Zelda clone. A damn good, darker Zelda clone.

Um... Darksiders and Okami are Zelda clones.

But those writers might as well be Slobodan Milošević clones!

Burn those writers alive and cover their children with melted ice cream and lock them in a small room with really, really hungry cats that are lactose intolerant so that the kids get all awkwardly scratched by their scratchy cat tongues when they lick off the ice cream 'cause they're really hungry and then the cats throw up the ice cream 'cause they're lactose intolerant and the kids'll get really grossed out .

No punishment is good enough for those human crimes against humanity.

Not really sure what to say, but its really just a fan site. Some of the stuff they say feels like its purposefully "shocking" in an attempt to drive traffic.
