BLARG ADVERTISEMENTS IN THE TITLE!
...I haven't even read this, but I can already tell one major problem: a lack of understanding as to what a paragraph is.
...And now I've read it. Dear gods above.
Look, humor in a review is appreciated. Making a bunch of jokes and having that constitute your entire review is not. You've also got your facts wrong: there are certainly more than four weapons. There are four weapon slots specific to certain kinds of weapons, but you made it sound as if there's only four guns in the whole game!
The rest of your review isn't much more factual than that either. All I can say is: ugh. Please, try harder next time, if there will be a next time. And don't advertise your blog on top of that.

Zero Punctuation rip-off. And what up with saying its semi-hilarious. You have to let other people say that.
Sorry mate, I know you were trying to be funny but I hardly smiled while reading it; and it did seem like you were ripping off Yahtzee a little with some of your comments.
I've found that the review section is a place for real reviews, and if people mess about too much in this section of the site then others get annoyed. Serious biznez and all that. =]
But yeah, if you do another review try reviewing the game more instead of just making fun of it. Taking the piss out of a game you dislike is perfectly allowed (believe me, i've done it many times) but you need to make valid points inbetween all that or it's just not really a review.

Aside from the mentioned, I only feel that I should post to stop the inhuman treatment of words (I say that in a jovial manner and not offensive). When using the word 'literally' you should actually back it up with actual things that happen.
Unless you talk about the spit from the barrel of a gun, I don't think there was a button to spit on people. Here's me wishing there was though. (Sad face)soaringbiscuit said:
Also, that's a bit of sexism.soaringbiscuit said:
Not exactly. I don't know many girls that would like to be changed into a rabid wolverine, or, indeed, many boys either.PurpleRain said:
Basically, you need to review something to put it in the user reviews section. This is not a review, this goes in game discussion.
Just because the main character is a guy who so happens to be overly manly, doesn't effect the joy nor the gameplay for either sex.soaringbiscuit said:
We're forgetting this was a terrible review for a terrible purpose: cheap humor. But no, it wasn't intended as a slur or the whole men-are-better thing.PurpleRain said:
Is there something wrong with paragraphs?
Are you allergic to them?
Intending it to be cheap humour does not excuse you for making a poor review.
Also, please don't advertise in your title again.
