Don't give him attention.

I wish I could have read this before giving any extra time to the OP. :/

C-C-C-Combo breaker for the moderator quote tree!

Anyway, you have my permission, for what it's worth. Lol!

Completely indifferent about this granted the reviewer's past history.

Already have it pre-ordered and I'm excited!

What else has he reviewed? I'm interested in knowing that track record... I don't want to give it hits so I won't go over.

Game preordered and I'll be picking it up at the end of the week.

Final Fantasy XIII -4

Xenoblade 8 (I think)

Chaos Rings 9.5

Dragon Quest 9 a 9.5

Deus Ex 9.5

I think he gave Deadly Premonition a 10 too...

These are the ones off the top of my head.

He normally ties to be controversial and imo Underrates things for hits, and overrates things he likes. I don't always disagree with his scores. But his writing is very immature etc. However, I do find Last Story significantly (2-3 points lower than xenoblade personally).

Wait, is that a negative 4? :O

Oh, you just didn't do it for the rest of those games so it kind of made me worried. FFXIII is really not that bad!

I've heard that the game falls short on expectations and could use improvements, but a 4 is probably too low and makes me think the game is utter shit.

He gave Kirby's Return to Dreamland a 10/10.
