Look, we're not here to say which reviews are right or wrong, and we're not saying that opinions aren't important, but Edge's review of Let's Tap is wrong and the opinions are completely unimportant. With this in mind, we definitely recommend that you ignore the desperate-for-attention, we're-going-to-prove-our-elite-status so-called "review" from Edge that has the entire Internet talking.
I'm not linking to it because it doesn't deserve to be linked to. Let's just say that Let's Tap got an 8. Like I said, we're not going to question Edge's opinions, as questionable as they are. By giving Let's Tap an 8, Edge basically said "this is not the greatest videogame ever made and we don't want to suck its golden, console-exclusive cock." That is a lie. That ... is ... a ... lie.
The Let's Tap review is unprofessional and controversy for controversy's sake. We ALL know that Let's Tap is the greatest game about tapping on cardboard boxes ever made, and for Edge to not reflect that by giving it an 8 instead of a 15 is, quite frankly, emotionally devastating. As hardcore gaming journalists, we believe in toeing the industry line and giving a game the same score that everybody else gave it so there's a nice little column of the same number on Metacritic. If you DARE post a different number, you are unprofessional and should, to be perfectly honest, die.
Your job is to make the reader feel safe and secure about his financial and emotional investment, and Edge failed each and every one of its readers with this horrible review. How are videogame journalists going to get the respect they deserve if they don't give perfect scores to important console exclusives? All you do is come across as a stuck-up little kid who is trying to prove how clever he is at the expense of the consumer.
For your sake, please please PLEASE ignore the Edge review. Those lying c*nts.

Either way my torch and pitchfork are ready, lets go burn Edge down for being anti-videogame communisms. W00T!!!
fail comment is fail.
When all is said and done, and the spunk is wiped away, Steven dawns his coat and goes back to his wife, children, and dog. I don't know how long this relationship will last, but one can only hope forever.
Good show, Jim.
Anyways, making a mental note to never go to PSXextreme.
Simply too much bias.
Let's Tap is a modern classic. I know, because I played the demo and watched some videos about it! So stfu Edge... or should that be MICROSEdge?!!1one
No, Edge, you fuck off. YOU.
(But seriously, this is worse than the Twilight Princess fallout)
Edge, You have absolutely no class whatsoever..You might as well resign now because people will be demanding that you be fired immediately after insulting every gamer not to mention the developers who worked their asses off to bring this masterpiece to the gaming world...
XD
Jim's been inspired lately. Awesome articles.
All I have to say is HOW DARE REVIEWERS HAVE DIFFERENT TASTES ON DIFFERENT TYPES OF GAMES you reviews just need to be like mindless robots and give cashwhore.com types of reviews because those are like the best reviews EVAR. We all know that Killzone 2 and Eternity's Child are god's gift to gamers and that Let's Tap is another crappy shovelware title from the master of shovelware those evil bastards at Sega[/end sarcasm]
P.S. - Eternity's Child is still utter shit even though I used the all mighty end sarcasm tag :)
You have no idea how wrong you are.
You see, the TP debacle was behind a complete unknown. At that point, the Wii fans weren't beaten down yet. They were filled with hope. They weren't at full lashing out capacity, at half force because of the dominance of the others. With Let's Tap, that has happened. The Wii fans are now the pariahs of the community and with Let's Tap, the rallying point of the Wii hardcore community, it is the morsel of hope left that the Wii will regain the credibility it has lost. The concept that it is not the shining example of the best gaming has to offer is driving people to madness.
Being as revolutionary as Killzone 2 and Let's Tap are, they are indeed, REVOLUTIONS in and of themselves. And of course, all revolutions DEMAND action! We are at the brink, the precipice -- will we ascend to the pure heights of nirvanna at the hands of these wonders, or will evil, vile, twisted reviewers use their BIASED powers to cast down our twin saviours?
Because this situation is so perilous, we must UNITE! The KILLTAP 2 party will fight against any reviewer who DARES express a different opinion to ours! We will demand the hands (and feet, because some people have learned to write with feet) or anyone who disagrees with us, so they may never write again!
Some people have religion as their ideology. Others have capitalism, communism, philosophy, democracy, autocracy as their ideology.
But we.... we HAVE KILLZONE 2 and LET'S TAP! THAT IS OUR IDEOLOGY! THAT IS OUR CREED! FIGHT, FOR OUR VIDEOGAMES! MAY HOLY SONY AND NINTENDO BLESS US WITH 1UPS!!!!!
I almost laught out loud in my office :p
I thought this was a great fanboy satire, I laughed. Then I followed Niero's link and discovered that it was a real article, then I stopped laughing.
Killzone 2 should be honored to receive a rating so close to Let's Tap.
I share youre sentiments on that one, i thought this was supposed to be funny, but it turned out to be real. Speechless.
Annyway graphics and sound are way over par, but does the game have an earthquake-safe auto-save feature? with the sensitivity of the cardboard and all...
