The greatest game review of all time

Posted in games, things of all time on March 2nd, 2010 by RevStu

Earlier this week I directed a friend of mine, online poker impresario Matt "Mango Fish" Dale, to the splendid Squid Yes! Not So Octopus! on XBLA (where it sells for the kerrayzee bargain price of 61p), and he bought a copy.

While I don't exactly fully agree with his feelings about the game, which he shared with me via MSN the next day, I do quite genuinely feel that his comments on it constitute possibly the best videogame review there's ever been (and one of the most objectively accurate), so I've posted them in their entirety below the jump for WoSblog viewers to enjoy and debate.

"Existence is random. Has no pattern save what we imagine after staring at it for too long. No meaning save what we choose to impose. This rudderless world is not shaped by vague metaphysical forces. It is not God who kills the children, not Fate that butchers them or Destiny that feeds them to the dogs. It's us. Only us."
