Thank goodness. Yet another reviewer who downgraded games he personally disliked (RPGs/Anime games) and was very unprofessional. Not that the rest of the guys at IGN are much better or much of their practices will change.

Not true he loves the Naruto games, he talked about it over and over, on podcasts he gets excited when a new one is coming up.  As for RPGs I never really read one of his RPG reviews, I literally can't even remember a single RPG he reviewed, unless you count FFCC TCB as an RPG and its an action adventure game.

He had a tendancy to focus on one thing in a genre (anime, RPG or otherwise) and try to compare everything to that.  Such as with Anime games, he would review many Anime based games (as everyone  at the Nintendo devision just seemed to dump them all on him) and just used examples of past Animes he 'liked' or knew and compared all the games he reviewed to those.  Similar habits showed up in RPGs, such as trying to compare Fire Emblem and Dragon Quest games to Final Fantasy.  It was an annoying habit that I feel influenced his judgement and caused him to further downscore games because they weren't 'like' certain games or Anime.

Ahh what anime based games and RPGs are you talked about?  I know he does that at times I mean he does it with normal games, see CoD4 vs CoD W@W and somehow he said CoD4 didn't control as well as W@W despite the two games having the SAME controls.  He either had rose colored glasses for W@W or remembering a very different game than everyone else lol.
