There has been a lot of talk about corruption in video game reviews recently with Konami's reviewer contract for
Metal Gear Solid 4. Let me just quickly say that this story falls into exaggeration too easily. Konami basically asked reviewers not to reveal story details, then slightly more controversially asked that they not talk about the mandatory install or cutscene lengths. That doesn't mean they sad no bad reviews at all, and reviewers didn't have to agree or anything, either. I'm not defending what they did, I'm just basically asking everyone to calm down. Anyway, I want in on this reviewing world, so here's a diamond poem review of
Echochrome from last week when I was obsessed with it:
Echochrome
Creative Puzzler
Perception Is Reality
Calm Experience, Frustrating Hell
How Much Time?
Haunting Violins
8.5
Pros: Great idea for a puzzler, level-sharing and world leaderboards good use of network. Some will love the music.
Cons: No idea how much time is left, only one look to the game, some will hate the music.
Two thumbs up, because I have two thumbs all to myself.
