Yes, no more perfect scores like Famitsu.....

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Like Bette Midler, mixed martial arts, and TV's Prison Break, either you're a drooling, babbling fan of Smash Bros., or you're utterly mystified by all the fucking fuss. There is no in-between. Curious? Here's the Smash Bros. recipe: Take a traditional fighting game, add in some platforming elements, include obscure, semi-obscure, and utterly obscure character from every Nintendo game ever made, and voilà, you've got yourself a video game that makes the nipples of fan boys automatically auger their way through their T-shirts. Featuring online multiplayer—a first for the series—and several who-fucking-invited-you-to-this-party guest stars, including Solid Snake and Sonic the Hedgehog, Brawl gives the lovers more to love. And it gives the haters more to hate.

Because everyone reads Maxim for their in depth and informative video game coverage and not for the half naked women on their covers.

It's also nice to see they gave Apollo Justice, Patapon, and No More Heroes 6/10.

The score is only due to the 5 point system... but the review itself was poor anyway.

5 point systems suck and shouldnt be allowed, even though i guess there is tecnically 6 points 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100%. Also magazines that use this system and give 4.5/5 could make it look nicer by putting 9/10.

that was a crappy review. i didn't really get the obscure characters part. it should have read "include many of the biggest characters in video game history, along with some obscure nintendo characters" and also i didn't get why they bashed sonic and solid snake being in it too. very bad review, the actual review seemed like it was bashing brawl and saying if you aren't a fanboy you'll hate it (completely ignoring that its a party game that should appeal to pretty much anyone who doesn't specifically hate all things nintendo), yet they gave it a 4 out of 5.

I have to think that any reviewer that takes pride in "putting nintendo fanboys in place" wasn't going to give this a 5 out of 5.  Still picking up the game tomorrow :).

Great. Can't wait until this is averaged into Metacritic and Gamerankings. I don't think that any game deserves to surpass Ocarina of Time.

So they say this - "Like Bette Midler, mixed martial arts, and TV's Prison Break, either you're a drooling, babbling fan of Smash Bros., or you're utterly mystified by all the fucking fuss. There is no in-between"

And then give it a 4 out of 5... Doesn't that put them " in-between"?

exactly what i was thinking stof
