I'll be quite happy for Mario Kart if it stays at 94 or moves up a point, but I kinda was liking having a correct prediction for once at 93 lol

I'm sure Slant magazine and Jim Sterling will save me.

Now let's wait for the 5/10 Jim Sterling is gonna give it and the consequent "but 5 is a great score!"

Dude, don't even joke about that; it might happen. He literally gave Mario Kart 7 a 5/10.

Yeah and I actually like Jim, I've discovered cool games through him and is Jimquisition series can be very well reasoned and insightful.

That being said his Yooka-Laylee rewiew was gibberish for the most part. His main critism seemed to be that it did what it set out to do, namely being an N64 style collectathon. 

I've heard the argument made that Playtonic missed out on the opportunity to do, what Yacht Club games did with Shovel Knight and make the game that people THINK they remember instead of staying true to all of the design philosophies (and fallacies) of the original. That's a legit criticsm to make. It's not one that should put the resultig game into DigiHom territory of badness. Yooka-Laylee runs. It isn't unplayable. It isn't detestable. It doesn't crash. It's not a 2/10.

Regardless we'll have to wait until after release for his MK8D rewiew because Nintendo doesn't send him rewiew code.
