Quantcast

While chances are decent that you either (A) don't care about the Sam and Max episodes or (B) have already downloaded it, or will in the next week, and wouldn't have read a review anyway, I nonetheless consider it my civic duty to warn you that some of the early reviews for the newest episode (Reality 2.0) will spoil the endgame for you.

Reviews from both IGN and Gamespy (neither of whom I will link to, for fear that your curiosity will lead you to click on them) reveal not only some of the better jokes in the game, but also spoil (and, in IGN's case, provide a screenshot of) the playable climax of the game.

For all my whining about review scores, I never bothered to mention one of the most important things any reviewer should always do, which is to never, under any circumstances, spoil the effing gameplay surprises. Especially if said gameplay surprise concerns the imaginatively playable final sequence of the game in question.

Don't let this warning get your hopes up, however: the ending isn't that surprising and fantastic, it's just kind of neat and doesn't deserve to be spoiled. Plus, it gives you one more reason to ignore IGN and Gamespy in favor of, you know, more hardcore video game journalists.

I'd be happy to ignore IGN if you guys got the exclusive Too Human re-reveil. Maybe you guys wouldn't drag it out over 3 GODDAMN WEEKS and have given me more than a stupid video blog after two weeks (which they just linked to).

Lol, nice image.

I've only played ep 1 & 2, i guess i should buy all the season instead of playing it every now and then on my friends pc.

I'm in the middle of that Reality 2.0 right now, thankfully I haven't check out any reviews of the last few episodes. I already know I'm going to enjoy the hell out of them.

Thanks rev. I got the email telling me I could download it and was gonna check out some reviews, now I know that everyone but Dtoid are retarded bastards. I think my favorite joke is still from episode one " I want a map of the netherlands on my netherlands"

Considering that the 'journalists' here at Destructoid jump to conclusions on a regular basis without researching, I find it harder and harder to recommend this either. Not to mention you editorialize the shit out of every news post.
