You know, it's a constant annoyance to me how the PC sites will review gaming consoles.  Their core philosophy is so completely different from a console, that they just plain don't understand what a console is.  Take this review for instance.  Tom's Hardware is a pretty reputable site.  Their hardware reviews are often world class, and I go there whenever I need to decide what is the right thing for me to buy.

But really, they should stay the phuck out of the entire console area.  They don't belong here.  I can overlook their gross mistake on page two where they quoted the GBA as being capable of displaying 32,768 colors simultaneously... (barely), but when they reviewed the playability of the console, they completely lacked any kind of background in the subject, and it showed.  The games available for the N-Gage just stink, and the playability of it is virtually nill.  It's a crappy phone, and a worse console.

PS:  In case you are interested, GBA has a total palette of 32,768 colors, but only 511 can be displayed on screen at any given time.  256 for the background, and 255 for the sprites (one color is reserved for transparency).

You know?  There's one thing I absolutely LOVE about the N-Gage:

It doesn't take long to convince people it sucks.  True story.

Ya, Toms has been pissing me off with that for a while grey.  I remember when they wrote a great big letter of how they were opening new doors by making crummy reviews of good games, and great reviews for bloodwake.  I haven't really even been to tom's in a while actually, not after that whole amd something guy nearly got sued by toms.  Oh well, thats over, but still aren't going to that site.
