  Any Hockey fan's in the house (particularly Oiler's fans)?

  If you're thinking "a cheesy hockey joke?" then yes.

  Kevin Lowe and Dwayne Roloson went to a movie this afternoon. Halfway through the movie Roloson was hungry and was going to grab some snacks. Lowe told him that he had to go to the washroom so he’d grab the snacks….so off he went.

  After going to the washroom he purchased a super tub of popcorn and an extra large order of nachos.

  On his way back to the theatre he bumped into Darryl Sutter who said “Wow, Kevin, you must be pretty hungry....an Extra Large order of Nachos and a Super Tub of Popcorn....”

  Lowe immediately replied: “No, you don’t understand, I got this for Dwayne Roloson.”

  To which Sutter replied: “Awesome! That’s waaay more than you got for Ryan Smyth!”

  On the Go

  Alot of people, such as myself, want alot of games and can't read alot of reviews. Even when we may have the time we just want a quick peek, the score, the good and bad, and to get the gist of it. However lately i've been having alot of trouble getting the gist of reviews. I've been buying alot of games lately, some with reviews I wasn't particularly interested. But when you're trying to get a reviewers opinions a review like this doesn't help.

  The first things that pops into my mind when I see it:

  • Scored considerably lower than it's predecessor
  • Scored an 8 in Gameplay

  Right off the bat you're thinking something is wrong. The first thing you think is that this game is lacking when compared to the original and might not be worth your purchase. And the next thing you see is this:

  The Good: Intense, gritty modern infantry combat; impressive multiplayer suite with countless combinations of competitive and cooperative game modes; gorgeous graphics and cutting-edge visuals; excellent sound effects and voice acting that actually helps you in the game.

  The Bad: The single-player campaign is over before you know it.

  So, let me get this straight. Gorgeous graphics, sound and voice acting. Intense combat. Impressive multiplayer (on a system which online is a near necessity) and yet you drop 1.3 off of it for this? I'm lost. Anyone reading this on an internet website more than likely is using Live and can take advantage of the multiplayer...So why cut it so short for a Single Player that is not an hour shorter than that of it's predecessor (which scored AAA and was considered sound)?Now you end up reading the entire review. I just thought i'd bring it up because this happens to me with alot of reviews. I try to catch a blurb and see what's up, and I end up forced to read the entire product to sum it up (and alot of the time, it doesn't). So why not use 'The Bad:' more effectively for people like myself?
