You should have taken the time to think about this and instead said, "I do not agree with Jeff's review," rather than coming out and saying "it's off the mark." Sorry you're butt-hurt, but that's your own fault for being unable to enjoy games and leaving it at that, not Jeff's, for giving his more informed opinion on a game.
 
For instance, I enjoy the Dynasty Warriors series, even though it consistently receives scores that indicate it's rather low quality. Do I usually agree with these reviews? Yes! But it doesn't stop me from still finding my own enjoyment out of the game.

Sweet cuppin' cakes I hope random chance favors me

Alpha Protocol, Assassin's Creed 2, Modern Warfare 2, Halo 3: ODST, Dragon Age.

That's just off the top of my head. I'm sure I'm forgetting a few. I'm starting to think developers are delaying to 2010 though because they don't want to compete with the high profile games being released this fall.

I hear Band Hero 2 is slated for a December release, with Band Hero 3 coming out in early 2010.

This is one of those games that sounds good, but in motion I'm not so sure. I might have to play it to accurately gauge it... I do have some hopes though. I also feel obligated to put some cash to this in the hopes that other developers will realize that 2D games aren't dead, nor should they be.

Why can't they just be honest?

"We moved it to 2010 so we wouldn't have to compete with Modern Warfare 2"

The city of Richfuckingland amuses me. :-)

Also, making posts way after the original topic is awesome.

I used to suffer from this affliction pretty badly, but as I put on the years and had to start buying the hardware myself, I don't let it get to me. I play games to have fun, so as soon as a game starts to even hint at the potential of not-fun frustration, I shut it off and don't touch it for a few days.

Some frustration is good frustration and if the game is fun, you battle through it without getting too angry. But some games just put you up against too much, laugh in your face, punch you in the gut, and tip over your juice box. When I play the latter, I just take a deep breath and shut it off. There are better things to do with your time than get pissed at a video game. Plus, when you cool off and come back to it, more often than not you are able to push through to the next section.

It's weird how that works.

Oh I'm so nervous! Am I doing this right?
