Seems like a good decision. She's clearly not cut out to be a professional reviewer.

I dont remember you being so hate- and spiteful. What happened?

Well, life is pretty sucky right now, so I'm pretty much being an asshole to everyone lately :P

Here is what she had to say:

Yes, the era of the hardcore gamer is coming to an end, and while I’ve loved my years at EGM, I’ve also been waiting eagerly for this time to come. For so long, finding a way to reach women gamers was this magical holy grail — something people could only fantasize about. Nobody had any clue how to do it, and a lot of people didn’t believe it could be done. Casual games on the web, World of Warcraft, and Nintendo Wii and DS have proven that it’s not only possible, it’s happening NOW — and I simply can’t resist the call to join the cause. This has long been an interest of mine (way, way, way before it was cool or profitable :), and it makes sense that now is the time to jump.

It seems not many people apply for jobs at 1UP, for them to hire this idiot.

The most hardcore game I ever remembered her reviewing at EGM was Mass Effect. Most of the time she reviewed games like Guitar Hero and Cooking Mama. So you can see why it's a bit strange that she would call herself a hardcore gamer and a bit unsurprising she would make a move like this.

Shame she had to leave the EGM staff before Dan "Shoe" Hsu could put the moves on her.

Shoe left before her and she's already a mother with a child.

Wow the snobcore fanboyism flows freely I see.

So you mean 1up did the best decision and let a casual player play a casual game and award it the score it should have deserved from that point of view? Kudos to 1up!

 

Why not go further and let kids play random Ubisoft Wii  game, and award it the score it deserves from that point of view?

 

Why not let athletics review sport games?

 

i know you were joking to continue the pattern, but i don't think sports games are targetted towards athletes, meaning it doesn't really fit in with the two posts above yours

and Star Scream, i'd suggest a parent review those games while their kids are playing it.. it would probably be the best indicator for the adults who buy the game for their kids

A female blogger did. She let her six year old daughter review a Ubisoft game petz game. She questioned her daughter about playing the game and the stuff that she did in the game. Finally she concluded the review with what her daughter liked about the game. It was a very adorable review, which was posted on Gonintendo.com.
