Everything You Like We Hate, And Vice Versa
Action Button is a contrarian game review site that seems to exist to give good reviews to old games, and bad reviews to new games (if they are not Gears of War).
Okay, I oversimplify there. They deserve much more credit than that. I actually agree, with the text at least, with most of their reviews, which almost never happens elsewhere. Zelda: Twilight Princess I enjoyed, but I do have to agree most of their reasoning on that one. (It is worth noting that their review of that game has garnered seventy comments, a fact that either speaks against the review or Nintendo fanboys, depending on your assumptions.)
I don't agree with all their reviews, mind. Their review of Star Fox: Command, a game that is by no means perfect, is over-written, smarmy, and ultimately shallow.
Yet I can forgive much on behalf of a site willing to utterly take the piss out of Final Fantasy VII. "He is torn between his childhood friend [deleted] and his newfound love, Aeris Dies."
