The Art of Reviewing  by Shane L at 08:02

I saw this bit of information this morning and it made me smirk

I've never done this before, and I probably shouldn't be doing it now, but I want to take the opportunity to completely disown the GameSpy Donkey Konga 2 review in its published form. It grew an extra star and a half (or another 30% on the gamerankings scale) from its submitted version, along with several laudatory phrases that I didn't write and certainly don't mean. I hated the game. It's not a 3/5.

Gamespy obviously had a re-think as this update will testify.

UPDATE: As you'll discover if you try to follow the link above now, the review has been pulled. Thanks to GameSpy editorial for being gracious and understanding about the whole thing; it was resolved pretty quickly after my initial complaint.

Thanks www.maragos.org
