Lets see, you're male. You don't give an age but from your avatar I'm going to guess 16-25, whatever. Actually, I'm not angr. At my age I find most human folly amusing, sometimes interesting but I'll never get upset over video GAMES. They just aren't that important. I don't even pay that much attention to vidoe game reviews because they are as a rule shallow and poorly written and seldom of real value. I just wanted to make an observation that of late, they have gotten so frustrated with the fact that their reviews while seeming to have a vast effect in the HD world often seriously hurting games they didn't even dislike that much, but no noticable effect in the Wii and DS world, that they are showing a petty spitefulness. It only makes them look silly but if they don't mind looking like a horses's patoot they should go right ahead.

To me games ARE important. Don't assume that just because they are unimportant to you that holds true for everyone else. You may find games shallow, but I find them on par with literature and cinema as a source of self actualization and personal growth. However in contrast to cinema and books video games are my preferred choice for achieving that. The Wii, with it's focus on simplicity, 5 minute pick and play fun has all but eliminated games for it's system that may wish to offer players a more fulfilling experience. Simple fun is good, but the Wii has shown an exclusion of depth. Cartoons are great, but if TV was nothing more than cartoons there would be a problem there.
