Wow I didn't know (sarcastic)

lol , that was a no news for EA than :P

so the "credability" is being discussed? nice.

Jesus, that is just too cool... I hate GS, too many blithering idiots online at any one time. There should be some sort of admission IQ test or something on big sites like that!

Definately agree. This really questions the credibility of the whole worlds gaming media. Especially on reviews. I think the finnish gaming media is a good example, all the games are reviewed high, the reviews don't tell anything about the game, just some "humorous" comments about some secondary thing about the game. Well, it seems so obvious after this incident, that why they do so, it's because they don't want to piss off advertizers, so their scale is 8-10 and the review doesn't tell you anything about the game, so you don't get busted from tweaking the numbers. Anyway one writer in one gaming magazine once wrote an article about previews/reviews, that to who you actually make them for. He stated, that they are made for the in-buyers of stores, who don't know anything about games, but uses the media as a guide, when making orders about the game. It wasn't the writers own idea, it was stated to him by one USA:n gaming journalist, who apparently had a good view on things. But now to think of this, the publishers just start to play the hardball even more harder, when development costs just rise constantly.
