More thread resurrection...
has a new
post (with nws url), but this isn't really about that, it's about what that's about, which is the Eurogamer review of the 25th Anniversary edition of SMB.
Games magazines, seem to fit into two different categories; entertaining, and PR-fest, and I don't remember the last time I read a review of anything because there doesn't seem to be anything entertaining to read anymore, and I prefer to get my opinions from playing demos, or the opinions of you guys. So, without wanting to go on a Stu-style rant, is this what passes for a professional review these days? It is (as Stu surmises) a two page review of the packaging of the game. Basically, the conclusion that the review comes to, is that you should buy this, because even though it's exactly the same game you could have bought 17 years ago, it comes in a box, that you can put on your shelf. Oh, and it's got a cd.
Sorry, I know I should be trudging about in the snow and stuff, but instead I'm on the internet, in the warm.
There was probably a point to this post, but I've forgotten what it was now.
