Forums - Gaming - Variety: Most Overrated games of 2008

Kind of expected, I believe they still hold the lowest LBP on record with an 8.0 Last time I checked anyway, so it makes sense that they would call it overrated. I disagree with them, but oh well.

It's a sad day when people actually read Variety for game reviews.

I suppose the days of Soccer Mom making game purchases has finally come

Because when I think of insightful analysis of modern video gaming, my mind immediately turns to f***ing VARIETY.

I also like to read the Wall Street Journal for music analysis, and Cat Fancy for movie reviews.



well kingofwhale, wheras I see your point, I would conject that the days of soccor mom game shopping did start quite some time ago. It's just a larger comodity nowadays.

So... LBP is overrated because they're too lazy to make their own level?

How do the two go together?



These guys don't know anything about games. Imagine they are mentally handicapped.....then you'll understand.



how dare an rpg have dialogue options and proper leveling up? Give me a break...



I don't know what's dumber, the fact that all four reviewers said LBP was overrated or the fact that their reasons for not liking the game are pretty stupid.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
