Have you spent the last few months salivating over Jeff Minter's latest title Space Giraffe?
Xbox 360 Wire is reporting that OXM this month reviewed Space Giraffe and gave it a disappointing 2/10. Further investigation reveals that the reviewer couldnt actually play the game properly and perhaps gave the poor review out of frustration more than anything else.

If you stick an audio CD into an Xbox One it will (after downloading the relevant app) play it quite happily, and even pull the album cover and track list from the Gracenote database. Neat. Do the same with an Xbox 360, and you will enter a whole different world – one that is entirely generated by the best visualizer ever created.
In 2003, after 20 years of creating lightsynths for almost every platform, Jeff managed to get his incredible vision for Neon into a console that lasted a decade and sold more than 80 million units worldwide.
I loved the 360 music visualizer. I remember the short video they made about the making of it.
Its strange, MS had so much focus regarding music playback when the last gen kicked off but they don't seem as bothered this time round.
I was personally hoping for a kickass visualizer this time round but no, not even background music. And we are still waiting, Lame.

...that a reviewer can give a title a crap score because they don't know how to play properly. Just imagine if the same person had reviewed Bioshock and didnt get along with it - "It's crap, 3/10".
lol
why we should rely on our own experience and preferences.
Don't listen to others, no matter how "experienced" or "professional" they are supposed to be. Nobody can tell you whether you'll like something or not. Only you can.
Has Minter made a great game since Tempest 2000?
