He has no business doing ~~barrel rolls~~ software reviews.

(he might be more qualified for barrel rolls though, as long as he is stuffed into them)

Normally I'd assume that he's just the standard "hardcore gamer" who doesn't realize video games existed before the PS2 (you'd think the 2 in the name would clue them in), but his comment about cartridges shows that he doesn't know about the NGP either.

And since when is someone who "grew up on Halo" old enough to work for freakin' CNN? Have puberty already, kid. And get rid of that 8-bit version of "Barbie Girl" playing in the background. You've never seen an 8-bit console in your life.

The general gaming community is equally displeased with CNN's amateurish antics. By the way, I can't stand his voice.

Well, now I know what not to do if I ever do reviews for a newspaper/website. On a side note, this would have set off my (now non-existent) Nintendo fanboy rage back in the day.

Speaking of mass media grossly misrepresenting video games...

(As far as CNN goes, I'm still annoyed about the whole RapeLay thing a couple years back. Not because that game is any good - I haven't played it and never intend to - but because no one bats an eye at all the equally-awful western porn on Amazon and other sites, while a single Japanese title from an independent reseller ended up being so controversial that the company itself ended up discontinuing the game.)

To be fair, after googling Rapelay (don't recommend it), it's a game about raping two underage girls and their mother. I don't really think there's a real equivalent to that on Amazon. But then again, I didn't even know Amazon had porn.

Very cool, but Gitaroo Man and Ouendan got the shaft.

So what would the title of such a gigantic mashup of rhythmic proportions be?

So did beatmania IIDX, and at least a dozen others.

And I'd like to think my given file name would be a good title for such a game. Certainly an accurate description of the gameplay.
