The problem I have with both the IGN review and the Video Gamer review is that they are full of inaccuracies and omissions. The TSA and the iWaggle reviews are streets ahead of both of them. Christ on a bike, the bloke from IGN even got the basics wrong. Every time he blocked punches the dozy twonk was incorrectly calibrating the controls lol, no wonder he was having control issues. And neither of those two supposedly professional reviewers made any mention at all of the online multiplayer. After reading those two reviews, which were the first ever to be seen, I had written the game off as a load of old bollocks - broken controls and no online multiplayer..? Forget it.

Luckily I saw someone provide a link to the iWaggle review and my opinion of the game (and of the two reviewers!) changed completely.

I'm still annoyed that we don't have any sort of detail on how the fights themselves are actually laid out. Is it just a last man standing affair with the two fighters trading punches, or is it split into rounds..? How does the game handle knockdowns and knockouts for both yourself and your opponent..? Can you get up once knocked down or is that it, goodnight Vienna..?

The quality of the gaming press during these last few years has gone right down the toilet as far as I'm concerned, and it's a shame.

So basically you only like positive reviews?  

? I'm sure what he is saying is he likes 'accurate and complete' reviews

I know... I edited. 

I totally agree with his stance.  Reviewers and gaming journalists in general are lazy, incompetent and sensationalist.  (exhibit A... hip-hop gamer)

He makes me laugh, for all the wrong reason. case in point, him playing the demo of Heavy Rain on the Move.
