I just watched a video review from GameTrailers and it looked pretty decent. However, if I had only the audio portion of the review to go on, without GT's numerical rating, I wouldn't have a clue if they liked it or not.

From listening, I simply don't understand what the reviewer is talking about. I mean, I can understand the language, but the review itself is so pompous that to me, it only comes off as grand-standing on the part of the reviewer. It's as if he's an aspiring novelist without an editor to keep him in check, forced to write game reviews. In other words, a long-winded bag of shit that just makes my head hurt listening to the drivel. I give the review 1 out of 10. The game itself looks like a solid 8.

I'm patiently waiting for the next Zelda before I spend any serious time with another game.
