I consider music critics and video game critics to be bottom-of-the-barrel.

I find video game reviews to be very accurate most of the time.

Depends i guess.If I were a video game reviewer.I'd be the guy gave really good scores to everything.I mean hell,there are like 6 games that came out in the last year i would give 9.5 or above.

Mass Effect 2:10
Red Dead Redemption:10
L.A. Noire:10
Portal 2:9.5
NBA 2K11:9.5
Assassin's Creed Brotherhood:9.5

Most people find some review source that works for them and sticks with it. For instance, by and large I tend to agree with what Eurogamer reviews titles, with some minor quibbles here and there.

I find most major review sites and magazines to be highly biased, particularly towards shooters. Most major flaws are even pointed out, in the case of the latest Call of Duty game, yet they still sneak by with a 9 or 9.5. I know I'd personally take Dragon Age II, for all its faults, over Call of Duty or Halo, though I suppose that is my own bias creeping in.

Video games are a hard thing to accurately review, I think. Part of that is because they age so fast in comparison with other forms of media, and I think most major video game reviewers tend to only compare new games with recent highly scored games.

RO: I really consider "Material Girl" to be one of the worst songs ever written. Not even necessarily musically, but conceptually. It's like... the anthem for the very worst traits a popstar can embody. Madonna is right to regret recording it. While I don't care for most of her other music, nothing comes close to the scathing hate I feel for that particular song. Noteworthy, because there aren't many songs I can think of that can inspire that particular emotion.

Oddly enough, "Born This Way" happens to be one of them

my friends agree that if we were to drive off a cliff, Born This Way would be playing, for motivation to keep driving

RF: I'm close to 5,000 posts

Speaking of games, haven't played a really good one in awhile. Is Mafia II good? I'm thinking about getting LA Noire too, since Rockstar's games don't go down in price for a very long time usually, and it looks very good, though I still haven't beaten Red Dead Redemption.

Sounds good to me.

Yeah, I think we've all been less active this past year.

I'm not keen on Eurogamer at all, though part of me is still angry at them for not giving Metal Gear Solid 4 a higher score. In a lot of ways, they're the Pitchfork of video games.

Indeed, an unfortunate product of the website re-design.

Too bad it had to follow the release of RB3... that game got me back into the series.

I'm still playing Call of Duty. Yeah I'm a sad individual. But my lifetime KDR is 3.41.
