I found this review to be severely lacking. The review itself was only 2 paragraphs for Christ sake. Not only this, but it only had one image. I expect blogs to have more then 3 sentences. Not only this, but this has forced me to write a awfully meta blog. I hate it when I have to write meta-blogs. This has also forced me to write a short-blog that will most likely end up in Failtoid.
I found that Jim's review was the best. Random bullseye gave jims review a reasonable score. Elsa overrated the blog (probably got payed off by Randombullsye). Kraid was obviously trolling for page views because of the low score he gave to Elsa's review. Tubatic goes back to the reasonable score. I find that as a good thing. It is always wise to not over or underate a review(or game) as if you do so, you are probably trolling.
However I cannot recommend buying Tubatic's review at its amazingly steep price. Not only did I have to pay 1 million yen, I had to pay a hefty conversion fee. The final price came up to 15,000 dollars. I find this to much for a game that is lacking in content. I recommend a rent on this one, or borrowing your friends copy(Or piracy). Anything is better then having to pay the enormous price for tubatics review.
Score: 4.5 -- Below Average (4s have some high points, but they soon give way to glaring faults. Not the worst games, but are difficult to recommend.)
See what review I am referring to. (but don't pay the man the 1 million yen)

Jim's review of the Saboteur? Sure, why not. If you're into that sort of thing.

This better still be going on when I get up tomorrow.
It’s brightened up my weekend.
Also, I coulda got you that review for about 55000 AED.
WE MAKIN' ARAB MONEY!
Don't get me wrong, I understand why it WAS made: it's scientifically formulated to be memetic. What I don't understand is why some dude on the internet came up with the idea and thought to himself "yeah, we need to make this concept into a reality." It doesn't provide a unique concept, it isn't set in a unique blog, and it doesn't have a single unique word (it doesn't even have a single play on words for f#@ks sakes.) It's just 100% all generic all the time, and it worries me that somebody, possibly even a group of sombodies, was actually inspired to come up with the idea.
What's even more worrying is that they've now gone six reviews of reviews without introducing a single new element. I mean, you'd think by now at least one reviewer of a review would have thought of SOMETHING new and interesting to switch things up a bit.
What do the rest of you guys think?
ps: what the f#@k was with that meta bullshit? I mean seriously, what the hell? Are bloggers retarded or something?
