im using the reviews page here to ponder a game-of-the-generation list, of course its missing 2005-mid08, as well as phone games, sports games, and many DX10/11 era PC games. But there are also games like Deadly Premonition that were covered just not traditionally reviewed. care to fill me in?

I thought Brad might end up reviewing this since he showed such an interest when it came out.

Easily the most widely acclaimed game that the staff seems to avoid (aside from Rorie). I hope it gets its own "Dota 2" moment.

A heap of my favourite games don't have reviews. I think Patrick really should have written a review of VLR.

They did actually write a review for that, they gave it a 5, but they never published it because it was way too late. It was in a video when they were showing off how they published stuff or something about site features.

Vinny played it.

But never finished. He didn't even see one of the best parts of the game, which are the DLC areas.

Me too! I wonder if it'll just be too complicated and I'll get lost. I can barely win a game of Civ v.

I think after Empire Total War, the future Total War games were not reviewed. Oh and Persona 4 Golden.

games that reviewed well can still be underrated. obviously i dont got no fancy numbers to back this statement up but i'd bet a lot of people who would enjoy PW didn't pick it up cause its a side-story MGS released several years into the life of a troubled platform. i know i was like that until i played the HD collection version and realised it was so much more

Sold poorly cause it was on the PSP...lol.

I eventually bought it for the Vita and had a blast. Being able to remap my the face buttons to the right stick for a better camera control was nice.

Peace Walker honestly could of been MGS5 and I would of been okay with that.

I read some quote somewhere once that said Kojima was planning on making Peace Walker MGS5... but then they put it on PSP and he took off the 5.

I'll take your lack of review and raise you a missing quick look, I am amazed that adventure gamer Vinny didn't get involved with Night of the Rabbit when it released.

Ships together with the PC version, so it is now :). Artorias of the Abyss, check it out if you haven't. Also the data was on the disc already for 360 and ps3, very troubled development from what I know.
