STFU Halo 3. No Game Deserves a 10. Ever.



When you, as a reviewer, give a game a 10 you have just proven that you are worthless not only as a game reviewer but as a human being in general. In fact, you are required, by law, to delete your GameJournalismDiploma.PDF that you downloaded. Sorry, but that's the way it is.

Halo 3 is not a 10/10 game. Bioshock is not a 10/10 game. Anyone who is trying to tell you that it is, is a filthy lying idiot.

For a game to be a 10, it must be of unapproachable perfection. It must contain such perfectly executed code that it can only be engraved on discs made from the purest platinum. A disc that contained such code would be so bright that you could not directly look at it without your head exploding in a cloud of blood from the sheer potential euphoria that it emits. In fact, upon inserting said disc into the console, you would instantly ejaculate. If this does not happen, it's not a perfect game.

Also, playing the game would be a continuous 90 hour orgasm, which would be at least seven times more powerful than being fellated by Jessica Alba, Jessica Rabbit and Jessica Chobot, as well as Ada Wong simultaneously, while playing a 25x25 grid of Picross.

Also the game would be designed by Will Wright, Sid Meier, Alexey Pazhitnov, Hideo Kojima and Miyamoto; contain the characters Marcus Fenix, Cloud Strife, the "L" Tetris block, Yoshi and Kratos; have music by Howard Shore remixed by Paul Oakenfold then remixed again by DJ Jazzy Jeff; be directed by Peter Jackson, Ridley Scott, George Lucas and Stanley Kubrick and then fucked around by George Lucas again; be written by J.R.R. Tolkien in collaboration with Tom Clancy and Stephen King and then plagiarized by Clive Barker. The game would also start you off as an organism, which evolves through every possible stage of life including every human and alien civilization both known and unknown, with elements of stealth-action through each epoch using a shadow meter; has tactical strategy that is real-time with the option to pause play so you can queue up your spells, has deep puzzle solving elements where you can beat up hookers with bats with none of that platform jumping bullshit, include a deep well-rounded RPG experience in between frenetic first-person-over-the-shoulder-run-and-gun fireplay with hundreds of doves flying in slow motion. And the game is controlled entirely with two Wiimotes, one in each hand. And it's in Dolby Pro Logic II. And your girlfriend can play with you simultaneosly. And it's not too hard for her.

After completing such a perfect game, your Wii console would instantly explode emitting a powerful EMP which permanently disrupts all electronics, especially Playstation 3's and Xbox360's within a 900 mile radius. If this does not happen, it's not a perfect game.



Also, the game could only be reviewed by Matt Casamassina, who would, upon bestowing the ultimate 10 out of 10 score, and realizing with horror that there would be no further use for his continued existence, cause his own head to explode in a cloud of blood. It would be a sad day because we love that fucking guy.



Also, at that precise moment, radiating out of Reggie Fils-Aime would be waves of orgasmic satisfaction, the force of which would not only sink the entire country of China, and ridding the entire world of software pirates forever, but also sending Perrin Kaplan into massive, mouth-frothing conniption which also causes her head to explode in a cloud of blood, because Reggie is fucking awesome! That man eats doors!

As a footnote, if Peter Molyneux is at all involved, or if he is even within 39 time zones of the game being developed, the game instantly fails. In fact, the game could not possibly achieve more than a 3.5 out of 10.

Lupine Fantastic and hilarious! And absolutely true! Never, under any circumstances, does a game warrant a 10 out of 10!

Jebus You really need to consider not only the score, but WHY it's being given that score. Does a 10 mean perfection? No, of course not. No game is perfect, so why would you have a score that you would never use? Frankly, I think the problem isn't with the reviewers or even with you, but the whole 10 point review is fundamentally flawed. What should be a simple basis for recommending a game has become a fanboy wankfest in which any score that isn't acceptable all of a sudden becomes worthless.

We need to remember why we have reviews in the first place. To help guide us, the consumers, into making educated purchases. It's a shame when the whole concept is taken a bit too far.

MavereX I agree with Jebus. You take the whole 1-10 thing too seriously. Maybe your jealous because Wii games can't get a 10 because they aren't good enough. Yeah actually, thats really whats behind this.

I love your motto "We're not biased" It's really great. How is a fan boy NOT biased? Being a non-biased fanboy makes no sense at all. Halo 3 is an excellent game. Bioshock is another excellent game.

The reason it is given a 10 is because it is an excellent game.

It means pretty much it is one of the best games that the reviewer has ever seen, and is highly addictive, and everything is great about it. You are just jealous because wii has not recieved any crazy games yet.

Knock. Knock. Guess what. They won't.

WHY?
I'm not being biased myself: This is reality..... Wii is targeted to 8 year olds, old people and fat people, and cheap mothers who cant buy anything more expensive for their kids because thats just crazy to spend that much on a video game thingy...

And thats quite a few people who don't have the xbox360 already. So.. yeah.. Your Wii developer doesn't give a damn about what game he ports to Wii and the quality because he knows the average wii gamer is stupid or mommy is buying the game for him/her for a gift. So they can make the worst quality ported game and sell it for cheap and they will sell many copies.

Why make a quality port? You'll only sell an extra 50,000 copies because lets say 1mil out of 10 million Wii owners actually look into the games they are buying. And that's a very generous estimate. So they do a crap port and they sell at least 150,000 copies because its on the shelf and it has nice packaging.

DaDude Ya'll are just a bunch of Halo 3, Xbox 360 hating, Wii loving fools. :P

Seriously though, I agree. Every game has problems with it, and while Halo is freakin awesome in my opinion, it, like all of the other games that came before it, doesn't deserve a ten.

Alex LOL WHAT A POST! I love these kinds of sites where little kinds like the original posters make crappy posts that flame the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, glorifying the Wii and claiming the Wii is the greatest console ever. I call BULLSHIT! Lets take a look. Xbox 360 and playstation 3, all of the games characters actually have HANDS! None of that clumped up fingers look-alike like the Wii thinks they can pull off. Now, another point, your thread was originally flaming editors for giving games a 10, specifically Halo 3. Now, you just flamed yourself! GOOD SHIT! Plenty of Wii games have gotten 10's on various sites or magazines, so these games suck and arent perfect to!? Huzah! YOUR RETARDED! Also, all of the following people, names, characters, or otherwise, SUCK: "Will Wright, Sid Meier, Alexey Pazhitnov, Hideo Kojima and Miyamoto; contain the characters Marcus Fenix, Cloud Strife, the "L" Tetris block, Yoshi and Kratos; have music by Howard Shore remixed by Paul Oakenfold then remixed again by DJ Jazzy Jeff; be directed by Peter Jackson, Ridley Scott, George Lucas and Stanley Kubrick and then fucked around by George Lucas again; be written by J.R.R. Tolkien in collaboration with Tom Clancy and Stephen King and then plagiarized by Clive Barker."

I hope you and your biased noob self dies. Go and buy Halo 3 and actually OWN A 360 AND PS3 BEFORE YOU FLAME IT. Stupid cunt.

Oh, and on a side-note, I own a Ps3, Xbox 360, and a Wii. They are all EQUALLY good.

pooPOOhammer I agree with the comment that no games are perfect, but if somebody made a perfect game, he might have to make a graphics & sound driver that can support the game so that everybody's computer doesn't fuck up the second 2 people start walking (in the game). Plus i doubt anyone would have a super orgasm unless they so happened to be having sexy time with some random person in a bunny suit, courtesy of The Playboy Mansion (LTD). But, i for one have played halo 3 and have to agree that in terms of graphics, sound and ideas it should be 8-9/10.

pooPOOhammer No offense but the wii has many flaws and some of the graphical glitches make it suck balls. XBOX 360/PS 3 are the best consoles besides PC.

Nick No, Halo 3 IS NOT perfect. However, it DOES fit the "10/10" rating. Online play is amazing, the storyline is movie-quality -- no... Cinema can't compete. This is like an award-winning novel storyline -- the graphics are great, and it has AMAZING flexibility. ESPECIALLY with the map editor, theater mode, and the upcoming map creator. No, the game's not perfect. But it knows what the fans want, and it serves it all on a shining silver platter. Besides, Wii games get 10/10's all the time. Like that Mario Cart bullshit, that's been the same every fucking game. Same with Super Smash Bros, except they added a little replay thing that sucked anyway. The way I see it, I guess you're too young to appreciate the fact that an M-rated game beat out your little kiddie toy. The Wii was designed for small children and parents. Grow up and play something real. Like Halo, or Grand Theft Auto. Soul Calibur, Assassin's Creed, skate, Battlefield, Call of Duty, Mass Effect, and the like. ... Or I mean at least play the good old Nintendo stuff. Everything Nintendo's done since the release of the Nintendo DS has been complete bullshit. Everything before that was god-quality. Bring back the old 2-D games, or at least Super Smash Bros Melee.
