Trip Hawkins added to AIAS Hall of Fame

Yes. No one ever said he was smart.

He sold the M2 to Matsushita for $100 million. Id say he's pretty fucking smart. Smarter than just about every other businessman in the industry, and definitely smarter than anyone posting on TNL.

With regards to that article... eh he has a point. Reviewers have no goddamn clue as to how a review should be written. They just silly, entirely subjective criteria and middle school quality writing. A review based on "how fun the game is" is NOT the way to do it.

He bashed them for giving a 3DO game a bad review. Would he care if this hapopened to another company? There wa no huge bias or alternative scheme to get him. They made a bad game and he should admit it. Not bitch about the evils of all editors and reviewers.

Seriously now.

Have you ever PLAYED Portal Runner? It's fantastic.

[LOL]

No joke. It really is.

Sadly I havn't and I don't really care if the game is great or not. He seeems to be attacking all game editor and journalist that defend the game he was talking about.

I thought you said it was a "bad game."

Sounds like you took the incompetent reviewer's word as law, much like the other sheeple of the time.

This is what Trip Hawkins was complaining about in his letter, and I have to 100% agree.

I have it on good authority that Portal Runner was well liked by boys, girls, women, and casual gaming men.

i'd kill for an xbox remake of portal runner.

Trip's letter to GamePro is painful evidence of what I hate about the publisher/media relationship in the industry.

In any case, your reviewer blew it on this one. And we are re-evaluating our relationship with GamePro as a result . . . If you disagree with me, you do so at your own peril.

Fuck you, Trip. I hope GamePro didn't do shit in response to that crap.
