Best mainstream gaming press f*** up

[angel]

Looking through a few months old issue of 'Maxim' i found a review of the 3rd party ps2 dual shock pad with the build in mini lcd screen.

Oddly it won gadget of the month because it offered 'anytime anywhere gaming on the ps2'. The cretinous reviewer seemed to be under the impression that it was a pad with built in miniturised ps2 and screen for ?99.99. This is on a half page sized picture in colour aswell, not even tucked away. Tragic for all concerned.

What a complete muppet.

Should the people who work at Maxim even be considered journalists?

I re-call reading some lads-mags rag like FHM or something, but in the games review section they had Viewtiful Joe reviewed on the PS2

I think the more pertinant question is: Is Maxim a mainstream gaming magazine? No, it isn't. I'd sooner get advice on understanding classical Baroque art from them than I would gaming.

One for the pedants among us (that's all of us then) - when FHM reviewed Resident Evil on the GC, the box art they showed had both GC & PS2 insignias on it. Important? no, but by God I felt special.
