Something Awful's amazing 1 line reviews photo

The SA crew have crafted single sentences that describe entire gaming experiences with amazing and pointed accuracy, thereby rendering every video game magazine on the shelf useless. However, they clearly have a typo on Excite Truck because they gave it an 8/10. Here's our pick of his litter below, however the full experience is highly recommended.

Red Steel:
The adventures of Rubber Arm The Awkward Asshole versus the army of men with no blood. 6/10

Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam
It's a racer, it's a trick competition, it's... lunch time, just send what we've got out for final duplication. 5/10

The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess
And thus, a horrible new breed of fanfiction featuring wolf-Link is born. 9/10

Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire
Less of a mech action game, more of a boredom simulator. 2/10

Ridge Racer 7
NOOOOOT BAAAAAD! 8/10

Superman Returns
Superman is blessed with the ability to fly past enemies he's trying to blasts, spaz out in hand-to-hand combat while on the ground, and employ Budget-Vision which makes the world around him look slightly disappointing. 3/10

Children Of Mana
The only part of this game that isn't fun is the dungeon crawling, so thankfully only 100% of the game is spent dungeon crawling. 2/10

"versus the army of men with no blood" also applies to Call of Duty 3 :(

Back when I read SomethingAwful, they mostly just did reviews where the games got negative eights usually.

lol at those, especially the Red Steel one, although I wouldn't really call it as bad as a 6/10.

I like Excite Trucks. It's fun. When I play racings games I don't care much about unlocking stuff, just having fun and that game fits the bill.

Video Game Article and Art of Warcraft are the only reasons I bother with Something Awful nowadays.
