The actual content, however, is another matter entirely. The reviews are, to put it bluntly, the worst representation of a game's merit that I have ever seen. They overrate so many games (indeed, i think i would have trouble finding one that wasn't) and to such extreme degrees it is laughable. They throw out perfect 10s ... Read More
