Seriously, TechTV was one of my favorite channels, but I don't watch it anymore because of G4's crap. How many freakin' video game shows do you need? It's like the MTV of technology channels.

AWESOME.
Canada's own music video channel, Much Music, was once known for being superior to MTV because it played more music, but in the past couple of years it has gone totally MTV, with just way too many shows about music stars' houses and crap like that. I hate it. I saw some good videos on their last Friday, and I felt all nostalgiac for the old days when I could turn on Much and actually see music videos instead of some rapper telling me how pimped out his looks-like-it-was-decorated-by-an-old-lady house is.*Ahem*. Back onto the topic. Just because Tommy Talarico liked Super Mario Sunshine more than Halo doesn't change the fact that he's biased against Nintendo. First, there's a pretty large group of people who think that Halo is overrated, myself included. Maybe Tommy is one of us. Second, TT has rated dozens of other Nintendo games poorly, usually simply because he doesn't like the "kiddie" look and feel of them. the N64 Zelda games, Diddy Kong Racing, and even Jet Force Gemini have all been victims of his bias against anything cartoony or cute.
I don't HATE Tommy Talarico, I just think he lets his personal feelings get too much in the way of unbiased game reviewing. Sometimes it's good for a laugh, but ultimately I get sick of watching him bash Nintendo.

Any nintendo game he rates low has more flaws then "being kiddie"

It proves that tommy doesnt rate all nintendo games low.
Thank you for proving nothing. I hate liver, but I can't rate the organ low since it is so important.
Think about it.

Every reviewer of anything, let's their personal feelings get into what they rate quite a bit. I won't even go into the whole deal of perception. Atleast you get to watch tv shows about videogames, I've had that promise come like 7 times in the last 20 years and each time it didn't turn true.

Maybe that's his quota game? "See, Nintendo fans, you can watch my show, I'm not really biased, I gave SMS a high score"!

I personally don't care for Splinter Cell, and I'll take Simpsons Road Rage over it any day. But if I were to write reviews of the two games, I'd acknowledge that Splinter Cell is better designed and much more polished and probably more fun for most gamers, so it deserves a better score than Road Rage.
I've actually seen Tommy Tallarico give a game a score of 1/10 (or something in that range) just because he thought the guy he co-reviews with liked it too much. That's childish. However, it's also funny to watch, so if you want to see someone really opinionated talk about games, Tommy is your man. I just find that I disagree with his opinions so much that I get mad every time I watch Electronic Playground, so I choose not to watch it much anymore.

But I'm sure he would re-consider that stance if it was his company doing the music.

I doubt he would, since most of the stuff he works on already has some kind of familiar msuic to it. why work to make new music when you can just remix Pacman again, eh Tommy?
And No, Nintendo made F-Zero, in 1991. Amusement Vision's Toshiro Nagoshi impressed Nintendo so much with their version of it that Nintendo and NDCube abandoned their version which is now Tube Slider. At least that's what I think happened.
Also, I think Licensed music is the devil.

Why does this guy have a show? Seriously if I ran a game show and heard one of my reviewers say something so f*cking stupid I would can their useless ass. Imagine if Roger Ebert slammed a movie because the soundtrack was just a score and had no songs. People would just sh!t all over him for saying something so stupid. It's not just Tommy. This sort of crap is everywhere in videogame reviews. It's a hardcore hobby reported on by a casual media. It's like if the judges on American Idol were the only people who reviewed music. Super hardcore elitists review everything else. Why do we have philistines reviewing games?
"Amusement Vision's Toshiro Nagoshi impressed Nintendo so much with their version of it that Nintendo and NDCube abandoned their version which is now Tube Slider."
If that's true I'm glad AM took over. I haven't played it but Tube Slider got very average reviews so we likely ended up getting a much better F-Zero out of the deal.

You're grasping for straws. Maybe it's his PR manager telling him to be a bit more pro Nintendo because the viewers are running away? Either way, if he uses reasoning like "It's to childish" for reviewing a game he's obviously an idiot who shouldn't attempt to give out scores. It's like taking the oppinions of random GameFAQs trolls to determine whether a game is good or not. Reviewers are supposed to keep their personal preference out of the reviews they write. Whether they succeed or not is another thing, but the more personal preference in the review the worse the reviewer.

Here's the way I think it went down.
Nintendo+NDCube: Dum dee dum F-Zeeero...
Sega (Nagoshi): Hey guys! OMG Is that F-Zero?! Hey we were thinking... How about you let us make F-Zero?
Nintendo: I dunno...
NDCube: Yeah I'm not sure.
Sega: Wait guys lemme show you.
*shows clip*
Nintendo: Wow.
NDcube: Really...
Nintendo: Ok you guys can do it, and take some of these guys with you. *points at some ND Cube guys*
NDCube: Wll, alright, but what do you want us to do with this *points at unfinished F-Zero code*
Nintendo: Ehh... Toss it.
NDCube: Alright.
*tosses* *NEC is walking down on the street, catches it*
NEC: SCORE!

ahem.
I don't know this Tommy fellow, In australia we only get a video game program called Game Freaks. Except it's cancelled now, also It was a half an hour long advert for Pentium 4 chips (featuring Hyperthreading technology) and AFL 2004 by acclaim or someone or other.

He must have one fugly-ass girlfriend then. muwhahahahaha....
All kidding aside, isn't he the person who can't reach the big O unless he sacrifices a dog or something?

He stated that Nintendo should have made the game more like Wipeout. Because, you know, Wipeout came out before F-Zero, rite? Am I rite?
And I believe he also said the obligatory "OMG NO WEAPONS" complaint.

Hes fine bashing anything Cel Chaded, Cartoony, non online on the Gamecube but praises similar games on PS2/X-Box. His whole reasoning is, judging from his comments on the Tech TV boards, is I make Money. I drive a Ferrari, so Im right your not... Big Deal. Hes an idiot. Good for him.
