How Not To Buy Crap Games This Season
The Guardian Gamesblog has a short guide on avoiding bad games and helping the games industry. From the article: "Say no to film and TV tie-ins - These are generally belted out in nine months by newcomers treated little better than sweatshop workers. If you're fed the line, 'the director was fully involved in the making of this game', beware. This means, roughly, 'The director sent his lawyers to the studio with a 300-page guide, warning that if it were breached, the team would be shot.'"
I call PC bullshit. Look up the definition of racism/racist. If you think the reviewer was being intolerant or showing some air of moral superiority, I think you're mental. He was clearly making a comparison to what was one of the biggest games in console history, in terms that, while somewhat subtle, would lead the reader to unquestionably know what he was talking about. Calling this racist is just trying to start a conflict where one doesn't exist.
