Calmly: Barkeep, another round!
Gin-Tonic with EIP, coming your way.
And another PR disaster for Bioware. Of course they're not buying reviews. However, I used to work in the business...you only get the best information from the companies with good reviews. When you write something a bit more critical, they CALL you and point to metacritic and some even threaten to remove advertisement. So, the pressure on the reviewers is not a small one. Thus you must rely on the ones that give valid information regardless. Example: German Gamestar, giving it 90/100 (compare: Fallout received 94/100), making it a prime game, but not best ever, and author Daniel Graf stating he "never believed that Bioware would put the ending into the hands of the players, thus the ending was okay for him". Other example: Yahtzee Croshaw of Zero Punctuation, comparing it as a "nice wrap-up of things" with the deflation of a balloon instead of a bang, and saying the ending is "not the worst". As is the whole game. My main source for game reviews. They can't be bought. And Yahtzee Croshaw even has his own bar.
