Chalk up another 10/10 review score for Grand Theft Auto 4. Unfortunately it doesn't really mean anything since it is from Playstation Magazine. However, once again, there is some new information revealed within. Check it:
# One of the reasons Niko goes to Liberty City is to track down the man who betrayed his old army unit.
# Cars don't catch fire after a bit of damage any more.
# There are several points at which you need to make life or death decisions between prominent characters.
# Comedy clubs feature real comedians.
# "Michelle" is the first girl that Niko hooks up with.
# Dimitiri Rascalov is Mikhail Faustin's right hand man.
# Another use of the phone include "calling a target to make him come to the window and into Niko's sniper sight."
# There is a museum called the Libertonian museum, which features dinosaur fossils and exploding vases. Environments such as these have been created specifically for shootouts.
# OPM say that GTA4 is influenced by the movie 'Eastern Promises', Fast Food, Celebrity Culture, Fox News and the TV show 'Brotherhood'.
# OPM also state that the game is not perfect, and that there are sometimes problems with the aiming system occasionally locking onto incapacitated enemies rather than those who are shooting at you, but that it's a massive improvement over the previous aiming systems.
# Helicopters are said to be very difficult to fly, and bikes are very fragile meaning you'll most likely be flying off it every few seconds.

Yet the OXM review is the "real" one, right?
One counts, one doesn't, both from "Official" publications, both awesome scores; if you're going to play the "just a messenger" angle to separate yourself from potential bias in a magazine article, why lace the message with bias?
I don't doubt for a second that both the PSM and OXM reviews are biased in some way. I want to know what the difference is.
They both "count" as the first official reviews. The 10's are what may not count. Dronkmunk can correct me if I'm wrong.
Reading comprehension wins again.
The question I asked was entirely related to your additions to the article. From one it was "Before the justified outcry at this review being biased since it is from an Xbox magazine, I hear you and I am just the messenger. I am here to share information." and from the other it was "Unfortunately it doesn't really mean anything since it is from Playstation Magazine." and "Their review doesn't count because its fucking Playstation magazine. Ever heard of bias?"
I was asking if there was something in the text of the PSM review that made it especially untrustworthy. Since the actual text of that review doesn't seem to be available, you must be denouncing it as worthless barely a sentence in for some other reason. And yes, I linked to a third party that had no reason to be biased which I thought was a better review source.
However, even if I did or at anytime do have bias in my posts, guess what? I can do that if I want. This is a blog on the internet, not USA today. And I am not Brian Williams, I'm the dronkmunk. And anyone who wants to question the dronkmunk on his blog better be ready to rumble with me.
NOW we're done here. Ya'll gonna fuck around and miss me when I'm gone...
