DEAR VIDEO GAME JOURNALISTS......

[JWeinCom]

"Apparently Activision didn’t bother to send out review copies of the game to your popular media outlets. You retaliated by roasting the game, giving it one of the lowest Metacritic scores in the history of video gaming."

It's not a matter of retaliation. It's a matter of quality. This isn't about free stuff. Think about it this way. If you have a game that you know is freaking awesome, you want EVERY reviewer in the world to pick up a copy. IGN is a great vehicle for generating positive buzz and sales IF you have a good product. Why wouldn't you send a copy of the Vita's biggest holiday release to the biggest gaming website? When you know it isn't good.

" Now that the 3DS is selling nicely it seems to have become the darling of your reviewing community. Instead the Vita now has the pleasure of incessantly being on the receiving end of your silly predictions and unfair treatment."

What? Where are these 3DS games getting rave reviews? Nintendo's biggest two releases this year, Paper Mario and NSMB2 are sitting at just above 75. Epic Mickey is being slammed by reviewers. Code of princess is getting mediocre reviews. Meanwhile, Persona 4 is sitting at less than a point below a 9.5.

That's not a complaint about Persona btw. It just demonstrates that there is no systematic bias against the Vita. Make a good game, get a good score. Simple.
