Before anyone gets up in arms at the title, and misses the hint in the description: it's satire.
Although you're coming off a bit...strongly in your statements, I definitely appreciate seeing an adamant, well thought-out stance that juxtaposes the norm on here. I've also brought forth the idea of representation (in smaller bits) in Knight's past blogs and felt I made enough of a case there and in other articles(I simply got tired of the repetition of discussions).
I actually didn't read it until you stated the quality of the article (just came to scope out comments at first :P).
The writer does an excellent job of detailing the subtleties he found in the game and how interesting the game experimentation turns out.
Though I can agree that not having typical 'run & gun' gameplay was rewarding to see, but bullet currency/stealth mechanics are tremendously flawed. 360 owners still have to PURCHASE the Ranger packs that actually fix some complaints I made with this title in my review.
Nevertheless, the fact that the title had more potential in its metaphorical pinkie than the whole of dozens of 90% of the other shooters out there still make Last Light a potential FPS of the Year...
No, I haven't received mine yet. Judging by what's stated, it seems like we'll get the notification blinking icon that tells us to look at our ticket again and she'll have a unique code for each one of us to redeem. Give it the same amount of time usually expected for these codes in the past (around the 3rd week of this month) and we should all get one sent to our ticket at the same time.
I must admit, I seem to be the main catalyst behind this change. My a...
*Certified FresH* review, Valenka. :)
Gave the 2008 GOTY award to Fable II.
Sorry, I had to say it. :P
Below the overall score it says "(out of 10 / not an average)." Since only the online score makes it out of place, the reviewer didn't weigh that portion in determining the final quality of the game.
Examining an awesome character who's minimalist story through gameplay is pretty cool, but only hinting at how Other M is said to have completely dismantled that character with a sentence feels a tad disingenuous. Examining just how submissive Other M paints Samus and how it juxtaposes her other titles shouldn't be avoided because "evil feminists can make a point here," if anything it shows everyone just how precipitous writing so much back story can be.
No...
Although Sessler's white knight stance against something as innocuous as a trophy takes up the majority of this blog, both the title and first paragraph (w/ link) are included in order for both cases, or just one of them, to be discussed by anyone.
I think Sessler's case is interesting because it breathes this possibility of how "making mountains out of molehills" (like in this case or critics' case in Cloud Atlas being racist because a white actor gets ...
I don't think I can label a GOTY from 2012 just yet. :(
Look at my user reviews of the past, whittle those games down to ones that released last year, and you'll see how limited my playtime was with 2012 games.
I predict XCOM: Enemy Unknown being my pick.
More spaces for user blogs and reviews, so none fly under the radar, and an easier way for users to receive their prizes makes me want to award a *Certified FresH* badge for these recent efforts. Keep it up!
Thanks for the prize and congrats to other winners (surprising choices keep things spicy).
You should have received a notification stating "you got a new ticket." If you have acknowledged the ticket and "confirmed US, UK, or CA Amazon store, or if you receive your prize via PayPal other means", you just wait until the...3rd week of this month (typically) for your prize money to go through.
Could it be the super secret 11th bubble? :D

You're welcome. :)
Funnily enough, I think I raised a similar question about that last year. :P
With all of this speculation with next-gen tech/games and the extra $25 for each winner, I wonder how many great blogs you and Cat will be weighing at the end of the month.
Details in the comment lottery section explain this. That comment counts and every other one you make in March; HOWEVER, "DQ if you pick up a restriction during the contest period, and comments with negative labels (Trolling, Off Topic, etc.) don't count."
A bit of a mix-up with the blog details at the moment:
"The top 3 User Blogs as voted by cgoodno and me win!"
"Prize: 5 winners, a $75 Amazon Gift Card!"
Could be a sign that MS bought DSII at 'wholesale price' from them before everything went under. Or some...other deal happened for this to go through.
The Darksiders franchise, along with others, can still be bought in the coming months: http://www.videogamer.com/x...
Just like how I find the trophy's original name to be innocuous, especially in comparison to what else is on-screen in GOW, I find the name change to be just as harmless--and laughable for anyone to suggest THIS being a moment in games stumbling to reach/maintain the status of art.
Like Ducky mentioned, changes to scores of controversial videogames have occurred:
-The Taliban changed to Opposing Force in Medal of Honor
-Running over Zombies instea...
