I don't know how long this particular review has been on Gamespot but I think its of interest to everyone here.

Hilarious!

Although I'm not sure I believe that 'believeable characters'...

Thanks, Narf. I am pretty unbelievable if I do say so myself.

Yeah, most people on the internet are completely unbelieveable.

I have enough trouble with reality without having my suspicions that the whole world is only what I can see, the rest of the world is only shown when I access those areas, and that there are unseen people who organise how everything runs, verified.

Wow. I thought I was the only one who thought about such things from time to time!

I really like this. My only gripe is that they have gone to so much trouble to create this and make it fit the format of a regular game review, and yet it's apparently not listed among the regular reviews. Wouldn't it be so cool to be browsing through the game reviews and come upon this by accident. You'd be a couple paragraphs in before you realized it was a spoof.

In fact, without following your link, I can't seem to find a reference to this article anywhere on the GameSpot site at all. It makes me wonder if this was placed on there without the knowledge of the people actually running the Gamespot site.

I'm still trying to figure out a way to access the 'console'..

Given that the author was an Executive Editor and on the Gamespot staff for ten years, that seems unlikely to me.

If only people would put that much effort and time into their own "REAL" lives as they do a "GAME" life. The game promotes a false sense of satisfaction as your real life doesn't.
