Halverson's enthusiasm can be infectious...Play seems to concentrate on the good parts of every game that's reviewed, rather than tear games down based on nitpicky details. It's refreshing.
Not surprised at the Orta scores, but I will be surprised if it sells.
I don't see enthusiasm. I see Mark Madden pushing the last two years of WCW mixed with the guys who sell knives on syndicated channels at 3am.Quote:

When I don't have to have played a game or even know anything about to know that the review is total bullshit, something is wrong.
Bio, I try to be enthusiastic with my reviews. Pointing out the positives and such, but Play takes it to unbelievable levels. It's like they're in the back pocket of every publisher in the world with their positivity. Some of their reviews literally sound like something a PR guy would spew out.
I have no problem with Halverson's enthusiasm. What I have a problem with is that if he likes every game he reviews, how is the review useful to me?
I probably would have imported games like Hermie Hopperhead but then I would think to myself, "Is this game actually that good or is it just another game he's praising because he praises almost every game?".
If it helps, I enjoyed Hermie Hopperhead quite a bit.
I wonder if Orta will eventually end up like Saga, selling for 100's on ebay...
It won't.
Well yeah, he overdoes it - that whole thingy about him taking credit for Contra: Shattered Soldier having difficulty select and two extra levels was kind of sickening.
But it's still more enjoyable than reading jaded bitch-sessions. I don't take him, his reviews, or Play that seriously, but it is a welcome distraction...
Well after playing the demo this game could have gotten scored whatever and I still would have bought it(It would take a major fuck up for it to somehow plummet from the quality the demo sets you yp for). As for sales, this game has a chance of selling decently, but it'll never sell major ammounts.
:lol: You can try, but there is no escaping the quad laser! Look, the bullet is enormous!Quote:
