I don't know where you live but in the northeast all of those stores get every new release on release day (barring shipping problems).

No shit. After seeing that crew, I trust their reviews even less. Did 1Up actually let them leave work for that?

haha.

I thought it was a pretty nice gesture.

I'm sure a protest will solve all the problems.

Yes, because that was the point.

The middle picture is the best, because that guy in the background with the denim jacket and the light socket 'do is only the second biggest idiot in frame.

Are there people who trust 1up reviews? They're three paragraphs of shit that barely has anything to do the game, and frequently read as if they've been poorly translated from another language. That's not to mention they are frequently factually inaccurate. Gamepro is a haven of quality writing by comparison.

:lol: Ouch!

I don't understand what was so bad about the tone of the review to begin with. Is there something wrong with expressing disdain for something you don't like?

I also don't get the hate for this guy. Yeah he's a fat whiny bitch, but isn't that par for the course?
