'Hardcore Review of Softcore Games'

I'm not sure what's up with the porn terminology, but taking off on the recent talk about diverging groups of connoisseur game reviewers and the hoi polloi, Tale of Tales takes off on a rant about Eurogamer's review of Endless Ocean. Saying there's a desperate need for a 'non-hardcore games press,' there's plenty of criticism leveled at the rest of us. I'd agree that game reviewing could be improved in a number of areas, but I think this might be taking things a bit too far: More »

Despite it's high Famitsu rating, I have a hard time believing this is going to be a purchase for me personally.

Famitsu Loves The Krill Out Of Forever Blue

Arika's Forever Blue for the Wii may not look like much of "game" but the "reviewers" at weekly Japanese gaming pub Famitsu were big, big fans.
