    Holy f*ck what a great article. Well-written, funny as shit, educational even. Can we continue this style of review (i.e. for really shitty games) please? I like watching disasters get their own. #kfc

    @mariospants: Dude, eating a shitty meal is 15 minutes of unpleasantness and maybe a couple hours of suffering after that. Reviewing a shitty game to completion takes four times as long and is twice as unpleasant. #kfc

    @Owen Good: Granted, but the effects of the meal may stay with you longer. Once a month should just about do it.

    Anybody remember those hilariously acerbic game reviews in Amiga Format magazine? This totally reminds me of those, and dammit, I love 'em. #kfc

    Picked one up the night before it started, actually. He gave me the large, but I made him search for the cup with the player on it. Also didn't get the brownies, but the 'crumbly biscuit doused in butter pheromones', which pissed me off, but I wasn't going to bike back. Also entered the codes for their game contest, and won. I won a copy of a game, fifteen minutes before the contest actually started. And it should be here... in a few weeks. #kfc

    Loved: Updated ratings system

    Hated: Remaining ambiguity about bone/boneless wings
    Product placement
    Amount of flatulence/intestine jokes #kfc

    "The KFC Madden Box also comes in a standard $5 version and a $7 special edition that, while it doesn't include night vision goggles, is packed with enough pupil-dilating sodium you'll see in the dark on your own."

    This is the best thing I've read all day. Keep up the refined culinary criticism, Kotaku!

    Upon scrutiny of the review, I can't help but ask....SEVEN DOLLARS? For this abortion of a meal? You can get some very nice meals for $6.99 if you know where to look. $7 for this is just highway robbery, but I suppose that's EA pricing for you. Any word on the day-1 DLC that's already inside the cheap cardboard box but you have to pay to unlock?

    Now I myself don't prefer KFC due to the fact that high school dropouts work at it, and the quality of their education shows in their work. The food isn't that healthy either, and I'm a little portly to really eat that.

    The beard, on the other hand, has already smothered itself with the mashed potatoes, inhaled the chicken AND the bones, and is currently trying to set the box on fire. It REALLY doesn't like Madden. I'm being coerced into saying that the beard hates anything Madden past '95. #kfc
