The problem with people like you is that you can find any article on any console, written by any journalist and if it doesnt meet your crazy ass fanboy standards of brown-nosing then it's 'biased' or 'bad journalism'
Fact of the matter is Giantbomb regularly posts weekly offerings from DSiWare and other types of content, and this time it was a clock. A clock... For fucks sake what are they supposed to do? Congratulate Nintendo on such a revolutionary product that will surely change the future of videogames? No, they take the piss out of it BECAUSE ITS A CLOCK!!
They post exactly the same style and tone of article whenever Microsoft or Sony do something absurd, the only difference being you cant fucking see it because you're so hung up on the fact they just insulted your precious Nintendo. Go back to playing Smash Bros and leave the internet alone.
Flavor Flav might like it but you can be damned sure he's the only person whos going to pay for something like this.
Edit: Nevermind. You know what, there's no reason to argue with any GB brown nosers or whatever insult you've thrown I throw back @ you. The first few posts of the so called fanboys are coherent about what they would like to see (and that's not brown nosing), and what they don't like to see (and that's trashy tabloid like writing that ignores and twists information to one's liking) but then some brown nose squad raided the thread and tried to twist the argument into being about how much a clock sucks or doesn't suck or about the Wii-only owners (wat?) or other shit they pull out of their ass. The so called fanboys didn't make a big deal out of it, they very calmly expressed their opinion, before they got attacked with all sorts of insults and bullshit arguments that had nothing to do with what they were saying. Then they got hooked into continuing the discussion with the imbeciles which now attack them for making a big deal out of this. Whatever, learn to read. Nobody defended the clock. It's all in plain English and should be easy to understand. Should. Instead, with every new post the discussion gets further derailed, more random shit are brought to the table and people try to refute the very valid first points not with discussion but by putting down users and twisting their arguments into whole different shit. To that attitude, I say frack you, imbeciles.

Yeah. They all say that. Regardless of whether or not it's true. Besides, we weren't talking about what consoles you do/dont own, it's not relevant and I don't actually give a toss... We were talking about how stupid the notion that any one particular console/game/publisher/etc gets called out on doing stupid things any more than any other is.
Not even counting the fact that Giantbomb makes no allusions to being Serious Journalism - Facts and Figures 101, it's an opinion site run by a couple of blokes armed with only their opinions. They review what they want, when they want and they say what they feel about it. Honestly, thats all I want to hear. If I wanted a roll-call of a products features and an arbitrary score based on how much the the writer thinks someone else might enjoy it then i'll get my reviews from fucking Wikipedia and Fansites.
Whoever said anything about reviews... It was about giving the real full story and not just half of it with extra "opinion" sauce that only appears valid thanks to ignoring half the real news, and thanks to ignoring most of all the "good" Nintendo does and focusing on shit they can twist around like this particular report. You keep twisting shit around like a crocodile after his meal, refer to my last comment. I'm done with this "thread" lol.
Seriously. The anti Nintendo whiners would have to be the biggest bunch of cry babies ever. Some journalist comes in ... [more]
However you spin it, DSi's launch was a damp squib, left a bitter taste in the mouth, and Nintendo will have to counter that with something sweet at E3. Something that justifies an upgrade. Hah.
The content is by no means awesome. That Soccer game is selling on iPhone for half the DSiWare price, most of the rest is stuff that used to be given away free and called a demo, but now costs $5. I realise it's hard to launch a download service with great content available straight away, but the launch titles were an insult.
No doubt whatever they unveil you'll chow down on like a scat flick whore. It's astonishing how much Nintendo can flagrantly abuse people's brand loyalty, how infrequently they need to sacrifice some of their colossal piles of money to the "core gamer" shrine to keep you guys clinging on to that thin strand of hope that they'll pinch out an exciting addition to one of their core franchises. It's like the worthless corpulent dosser who buys every Pussycat Dolls album in the sweaty hope that one day the doorbell will ring and they'll storm in and sit on his face as a thank-you.

You do realise theres nothing stopping fanboys from owning lots of different products right? There's nothing ridiculous or dumb about it, in fact it's the fanboys first line of defense "B b b but, cest impossible'! I own all the consoles! I can't possibly be a fanboy!" Sounds even more ridiculous from my standpoint than the notion that you are a fanboy.
Besides, I don't see anything better coming out of IGN, Kotaku, Gamespot, Destructoid, etc etc etc. In fact the large majority of those are much much worse, If the information isn't flat out wrong it's pure flamebait that isn't even disguised as legitimate opinion. Fuck it, if you like those better then that's your choice mate, but i'd say it's a pretty shitty one.

Jesus, these days, everyone who has an opinion is classed a "troll" or bias. You're not the only person in the world with an opinion, you know.

Well whatever dude. They certainly have enough positive things to say about Nintendo, where were you then huh? On the moon I guess.

So because it's better than the majority national newspapers and news outlets (because thats what it is imo) it's still crap?
Also, I dont read ABC Australia but BBC news is just and prone to innacuracies as anywhere else and the only reason they show know opinion or emotion and report just straight facts is because they dont have a choice but to do so or they would be called up for a national inquiry. That doesn't make the quality of journalism or writing any better than anything being written here.
Like I said. High horse.

The idea that journalism should be totally without bias is a complete fallacy anyway. All journalism takes a stand, journalism without a standpoint would be dull. Just as it's understood that newspapers lean to the political right or left, it's OK for gaming websites to lean one way or the other. Giant Bomb offers opinions which should be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet.

Yeah well, i've said everything I wanted to say, and you've done nothing but restate an opinion as fact and prove that your standards are unreachably high (and constantly shifting)
So whatever, i'm sure brad is confident in the general quality of his writing, which is to say, no better or worse than THE REST OF THE WORLDs journalist on average.

This article should either be pulled or rectified in my opinion.

@The_A_Drain: I'm pretty sure the rest of the world would include the price of the app and not say that ... [more]
Edit: OK, on second thoughts I can agree with that. It was an oversight to miss the actual game, even if it was piss weak.
@Endogene:
First legitimate point i've seen all day. Why do these articles never include price points? That always puzzles me.
As for the other game, maybe he isn't mentioning it because someone else is writing about it, or maybe it wasn't up on the store by the time he wrote the article (wouldnt be the first time that has happened) it's also totally possible brad hates nintendo and will do anything to make sure people only focus on a shitty clock... But I know which of the two options is more likely.
I'll just leave this as a closing statement, flavor flav sure loves him some clock.

Brad hits the nail on the head, whatever happened to the days when Nintendo released games on there systems, who in there right mind would ever pay for a another DSi clock, it such a waste of a potentially great service.
For people who have invested in purchasing a brand new DSi then perhaps throwing them a free clock app download would have been a nice show of good faith, rather then what seems to be a desperate grab for sales from a consumer audience given false promise in the download service
Maybe i speak to harsly here, im sure nintendo will release quality games/apps for the service that justify it being there, i just dont think a clock/picture app is the best first step
