That was a pretty interesting article, not sure if it is a true or not though about Nintendo's low standards.

Well considering EGM and 1Up are pretty much run by the same people, it's not surprising that EGM would create an article like that.

Actually these sites will probably take away points from Mario Galaxy for being too similar. I can just see the reviews now.

Now Super Mario Galaxy is a good game and all but it does nothing to evolve the series. It's still Mario running and jumping, which is the same thing he's been doing since 1985. Now Halo 3 on the other hand is how you do a sequel. Bungie did a perfect job with... oh wait, I'm still reviewing Mario. Anyway Mario Galaxy is good but more of the same. If your looking for a game to buy this holiday, buy Halo 3.

Final Score - 8.8

The sad thing is, I can see some of these sites doing something like this.

Nobody was questioning Sony's standards last gen when the PS2 had the most crap, or even Nintendo with the GBA. Everybody just assumed the most likely truth, that the reason was the larger userbase. The Wii has even more of a reason for this, with the cheaper development costs and perceived image, but now they want to find some deeper meaning for the crap

First of all, huh? They hate Nintendo but love Miyamoto? You're saying TP isn't a Miyamoto game? A lot of reviewer hate Miyamoto and Nintendo. You hate one, you hate the other.

Take EGM, for example. They're all over Miyamoto's c*ck, but they write all kinds of anti-Nintendo articles. I believe they predicted DS would get slaughtered by PSP. Boy, their faces must be red.......

And Twilight Princess got generally really good reviews across the board from major publications/websites. Nintendo fanboys just got pissy because sites like Gamespot didn't give the game a perfect score, as if an 88 out of 100 is so terrible. And really, who cares about reviews anyway which are entirely subjective? I, personally, don't agree that TP deserves a gamerankings average ratio of 94.2%.

Yeah because TP deserves an average ration of 99.9%. BTW I think people were more upset over the double standard Gamespot had then the score.

Adrock · « **Reply #405 on:** October 18, 2007, 10:15:32 AM »

They should be more upset at themselves for caring about what Gamespot says about anything. I thought it was established numerous times in the past how f*cking terrible Gamespot is.

I agree that the stuff about Nintendo's seal going from "Seal of Quality" to just "Seal" and them having no formal approval process was interesting to know, but it just seems like such a double standard. Like insanolord said, the PS2 had the widest array of pure crap I've ever seen on a system, because it was the market leader. Now that Nintendos ahead all of the sudden this is a serious problem that's all Nintendo's fault? DOES NOT COMPUTE.

What was the picture? I missed it.

Crimm · « **Reply #410 on:** October 18, 2007, 05:34:51 PM »

It was a shocksite that has the initials tg.

Don't look for it if you don't know it.

NWR_pap64 · « **Reply #411 on:** October 18, 2007, 05:37:25 PM »

So did they post a ton of shock pictures?

Crimm · « **Reply #412 on:** October 18, 2007, 07:33:28 PM »

Just the one, as a headline.

Confirmed: Kotaku is the worst site on the Internet.

... well that's not exactly right, Gizmodo posted it over this whole Halo 3 battle they were planning. I guess it got a little out of hand and Crecente actually posted an apology over the situation because it was very very NSFW.

Though, everyone is entitled to their opinion of the site, I personally don't see why the site is so terrible. Sure there is alot of extra nonsense on there aside from just game news, but they rarely miss a beat, so I can deal with the extra garbage.

We tried to warn you. It's very much not for the faint of heart or the sane of mind.

Can someone post a link?

Curiosity is a mothaf*cker.

Just google 'tubgirl' and look in the images. Also you'll need to turn off the adult filter...

Let's just say its an interesting way to drink orange juice... Ok, a gross way.

It's Galaxy. And it would have been #1 regardless.

Wow, we went from talking about what could be one of the best Wii games of the year to a very old shock pic of a girl and her intestinal content...INTERNET AT ITS FINEST, FOLKS!
