Yup, that's what you said alright. Amazing how you manage to assault his command of the language and then immediately disqualify the attack, all in the same sentence. I think it has something to do with you not being very bright, which sufficiently explains why you bothered to rebut his review in manner you have chosen.

A few juicy excerpts:

Fabio...you are a fucking dumb-ass

Wow! Now THAT's how to start a review. Fabio, take note

Why would you even bother to clutter up the 'net with this trash to begin with?

See Fabio? Notice how he masterfully illustrates what your review lacks in the same stroke that he asks the really tough questions.

Shock 2 was released years ago...

Intriguing, he opens my eyes to an absurdity we tolerate every day in American culture: LITERATURE HAS A FUCKING SHELF-LIFE! Games too, it appears; I mean, SS2 was so long ago, it's like, you know, not even really a game anymore. Technically.

so I would say it's a pretty safe assumption

Once again, we see Fabio is one-upped by his opponent, who defies conventional wisdom and breaks all the modern rules about assumptions, and makes one.

that most people have already formulated their opinions

Yeah, since they don't sell this game anymore, I'm not gonna let Fabio's idiotic review stop me from buying it! SS2 RULEZ!

It seems to me that you have personal issues with this game

Yeah, Fabs. Maybe if you had given an overview of the game based on, you know, a less personal experience, you could have done your audience a better service. I mean, didn't you even fucking skim through IGN's review? What do YOU know about videogames, anyway? No wonder Lookinglass didn't pay you for your review...or reward you with E3 booth priviledges

which is probably what prompted you to write a review about it almost 4 years after the fact

Yeah, this was the dealbreaker for me too. It's bad enough that the review sucked so much ass, but did we REALLY have to be taken through the tumultuous ride of his repressed rage and anguish, which was only now boiling to the surface? Maybe if you had said something about it a year or two ago...

Do me a favor

Do us all a favor.

stick to games that a simple minded person such as yourself can understand.

Oooh SPNAK! I hope by the time you're done drying your eyes and wiping your nose that you've manage to uninstall everything that isn't Quake from your system. And when you play Quake, DONT try to rocket-jump. It's too clever, and totally out-of-character for you, simpleton.

And hey!

He's such a good sport, he continues even after he's delivered his coup de grace. Fabio: pwnz0r3d

Since you enjoy writing reviews for games

Didn't sound like Fabio enjoyed it too much, so that must be a zing! HE'S UNSTOPPABLE!

that are way past their time

This statement could be miscontrued as weak, if it didn't contain some examples. Such as...

why not throw up something for Doom, Quake, and Duke3D?

I think he's calling you out, Fabio. And this time, he means business.

Surely your lack of intelligence won't hurt you there...I mean hell, all you have to do is shoot everything that moves...you can handle that, right?

He even desires to end his otherwise scathing rebuttal on a positive note. I salute his sportsmanship.

PS - I changed my mind. You fucking suck. Your writing is ass. Don't write anything else again...ever

SIKE!

Tell me, did you happen to point others from TTLG(or wherever) to this thread to come revel in your wit? I look forward to hearing from them too.
