"The most obvious example of this is the Xbox 360 title “Deadly Premonition”. This game was getting slammed by most of the big names in the media...Most reviews had the game at sitting at a 1 out of 10..."
You're just making shit up. Take a look at the reviews and see for yourself how badly it got "slammed":

You know what I think is stupid? Using a word like "hardcore" to describe something as mundane as playing a video game. When you look at the clock and realize it's 3 AM and you've been playing Street Fighter for 7 hours, and your face and fingertips are covered with Cheeto-dust...that's not hardcore.
...not that that's ever happened to me or anything.

GTA is never going to be fun again. I took the fourth game as them saying, "We're embarrassed of our PS2 games."
I'd say let GTA go and at least try Saint's Row if you want wackiness. That's what I did, and I love it.
That girl will never level up...that's kind of sad.
Why not make an Uncharted film?
Indiana Jones was copied and pasted from adventure movies of the 40's and 50's, and it wound up being a pretty amazing series.
Check this out - it's Charlton Heston in "Secret of the Incas." He basically played Indy before Indy even existed.
Holy shit...he has eyes under his sunglasses
I think they're talking about these guys...I fully support the NWO.
I feel like he really stole the main character spot when he showed up to work drunk off his ass with three hookers around his arms.
Every game needs a Jansen.
Who really cares about usefulness? I'm going to pick my favorites and nerd the hell out.

I'm an idiot, too - I didn't like the first game.
Aim your fanboy rage right here!
I never played Halo, but their zombies don't look much like zombies, either.
I like how this article is so close to one called, "Laura Croft: The Evolution of Breasts in Gaming"
You know, the Metal Gear Solid games devote an astonishing amount of time to a guy pooping his pants.
Maybe you're taking this stuff too seriously.
I could understand that being a minor inconvenience, but some people talk about this like it ruined the game for them. I think this gets mentioned more than the unbelievably stupid AI.
There's at least one save point in every area of the game - even in the courtyard, and I'm pretty sure there's one in the parking garage, too. It shouldn't take more than a minute or two to get to a restroom and save.
I dunno, I never had a problem with it. It&#...
All you have to do is go to a save point and...save. What's the problem?
the move sure is ergonomically shaped. You'd think both sides could get along over that.
Power glove.
I remember getting a crew of 6 people together and beating the X-Men arcade. We probably spent 20 dollars all together, but it was worth it for that 5 second ending.
Sounds like codeword for, "You pinned down my snobbery exactly."
It's a blog, not a newspaper. Who gives a shit about journalism?
