As a jRPG fan, I've learned to stop listening to reviews a long time ago. 90% of the time, they are full of crap.
Take Lost Odyssey, for example. It's an excellent game.
However their reviews translated to:
"I hate reviewing stupid turn-based Japanese games, if it's not Final Fantasy. I need my Bald Space Marines. Give me back my Halo before I kill myself."
After seeing the sales charts for America, it's evident that word of mouth is spreading that these "professionals"are full of it.
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
Conservatives: Pushing for a small enough government to be a guest in your living room, or even better - your uterus.
