Secondly...the line that really makes no sense in there is, "we respect the hell out of Super Mario Bros., as long as we don't actually have to play the damn thing." LOL...SURE. Everyone at GI has played the original Super Mario Bros. about a million times by now, and they love the game just like everyone else in the world. If they don't want to play the "damn thing" then they have no business working at a video game magazine.
Now, as far as Super Mario 64 and Mario Sunshine go, they both suck. Actually, I thought Super Mario 64 was fun the first time I played it, and I gave it about an 8.0 (I would give Mario Sunshine a 6/10). However, after the first time I played it, I couldn't care less. Then everyone just went ahead and copied the collect-a-thon angle, and I really HATED 3-D platformers for YEARS because of it. Luckily games like Sly Cooper, Psychonauts, and Jak have made 3-D platformers fun.
I'm not one to feed trolls. I think they are a necessary part of the board. Boards are boring without trolls. :)Quote:

I can actually agree with this quote from them. Mario 1 fucking sucks to play now. It doesn't change that it ruled at the time and did a lot of great things for games.Quote:

GTA3, MGS and SMB are not overrated. The others are to some degree, perhaps, but not by much. The complaints are legitimate, and many made those comments when those games were released. But that doesn't mean they weren't very, very good games.

I'm 99% postitive Gamefan gave Zelda: OoT, RE2, MGS, and FFVII damn near perferct scores. Had they been around for the rest I'm guessing the scores would've been the same (although they'd have probably tried to give Katamari over a 100). Gamefan loved plenty of very high profile games. People want to pretend they had some exacting standards now but that's bullshit. They might have covered the occasional import or scored some obscure games higher than other publications but for the most part their scores fell in line with pretty much every other mag on the planet.Quote:

On the flip side it was nice to see at least one magazine that appreciated games like Strider 2 and Metal Slug.Quote:
