I agree, you can't just discredit them because it was one of the worst written reviews I've read. people are entitled to their opinions on a score, it was just a extremely flawed article.

by real review thread you obviously mean a "real review". That includes online, not skipping cutscenes, explanation for re mapping controls, etc.

Montana, read the Gamepro review.

btw, i agree in principal but if Sony blog.com reviews Halo are you going to argue the validity of that too?

people still see it as a valid source to look into, means it does have some effect whether we like it or not. turning a blind eye because we don't like it won't change anything.

I agree you shouldn't take down the Gamepro review just because its garbage... every review looks like garbage that isn't from Vgchartz ;)

There's a fine line between not including it just because you don't like it, and not including it because it's littered with blatant misinformation and lies. This is the latter.

I think ignoring it is perfectly justified.

I did read the review, and I agree that it's awful. Try reading yourself next time. I'm just saying that the review shouldn't be omitted no matter how bad it is. It's a review from an official reviewing publication. There could be a disclaimer next to it saying how much the review sucks, I don't really care. But this isn't Metacritic or Gamerankings. Stop setting standards and just include reviews no matter how much they suck.

And seriously, what's with your last line? I hope you're not accusing me of bias considering how big of a fanboy you are.

My feelings were initially this, but considering the reviewer didn't even play the multiplayer (a major component of this kind of game) and admitted that he played it from point A to point B as quickly as possible, i don't see how this can be considered a professional review. 

What would happen if IGN shipped a review for the new Call of Duty without mentioning the multiplayer?  A some point we have to hold the gaming media to some kind of standards because clearly Metacritic isn't going to.  Having said that I'm not going to be the one putting up my hand to judge which reviews are creditable and which ones aren't.

Regardless, it comes from a reputable source. It would be better to include it and have a disclaimer than not include it at all.

Look, in the end i agree with you and would err on the side of inclusion but given the extreme nature of the review i can fairly easily understand someone holding the opposing point of view.

Hey i agreed with you, but what i meant by that last point was that if it is clearly going to be subjective then maybe its not really a valid review at all. Nothing aimed at you at all, though i can see how your own views of my "bias" could make you paranoid.
