X-Play's LRB review fact check

[Transbrak]

X-play like everything else on that failing network is crap.

Just like everyone with a blog things themselves a "journalist"...

Oh man, don't even get me started on this. One of the most annoying things about trying to find any sort of clips on YouTube is the countless number of "Reaction to" videos that are just people talking into a camera about something you're trying to find a video of.

I hate those! Usually you can tell it's going to be some yahoo talking by the star ratings or comments, because most people don't take to that method of advertising nicely.

You made the mistake of watching X-Play. None of those 360 fanboy assclowns know their ass from a hole in the ground.

If I want my intelligence insulted, I watch X-Play.

While I agree that X-Play's reviews don't matter much to me, I take exception to your "360 fanboy assclowns" comment. There was no need for you to insult those who own and love their 360s. Just a real jerk comment!

I'll admit I still watch X-Play, and I still find their reviews to be generally well done and realistic. While maybe a bit overexagerated, I felt the L:RB review was fairly well done and accurate. I would've only given it a 3/5, though...



Oh noez he'z didn't sauck up and say it rulezzz flam3 h1m!!!! j.k.

Does LRB have a greater margin to fail or am I just getting better at drums? I used to never be able to make it through the opening of Move Along, and I got to the disco beat of that song before failing out the other day.

I think it can be easier... not sure if it's just me though.

Those two lost it once it became X-play, extended play was incredible and they gave a damn about the games back then.

I remember them rating one of my favorite games at the time with like a 2/5 then they rate a terrible game with a ton of glitches a 5/5, yep they don't get paid to rate games higher.

Um, only Adam Sessler hosted Extended Play. It took a few episodes of X-Play before Morgan Von Webb joined the family, and for a few years it was an awesome show. (Edit: unless you're talking about the pre-2000 show which I cannot remember at all, I think it had Sessler and a dude hosting)

4."The game is mainly comprised of pop tunes"
This may be mainly true but in the end there are many non-pop songs that really make the setlist stand out from say, Band Hero.

Haha, they really said that? Someone must of got the game mixed up with Band Hero (which i have got i have to say, and im quite enjoying...) since that has a fair few definite pop songs in it (Wannabe by the Spice Girls anyone? Okay its cool that the characters "act out" the song... but it really doesn't fit with the game IMO)

Well, there are more reviewers and reviews every year and every year they mean less.

Just like everyone with a blog things themselves a "journalist"... Everyone with a video game console and access to a server considers themself a "reviewer"...

Grains of salt are more critical than ever.

So true.
