Jeff Green finally admits CGW's glowing, pandering review of Doom 3 was heavily influenced by Activision's set-up. Now we know why Gladstone kept rambling on about buying a top-of-the-line rig and 5.1 surround sound. He was actually hedging his bet - "Er, well, it played awesomely on Activision's rig with the stereo system they had." Green says they stand by Gladstone's score (they already used the "Oops, we actually didn't play the whole game" excuse with B&W), but they will never review a game at a developer/publisher's office, like they did for Doom3.
Well, if they stand by their score as they claim, then why do they have to put this limitation on how they review games after it? They refuse to do that for Half-Life2, as a result. Also, Green refuses to admit they were swayed - except that his posts in that thread are only brimming with such thoughts on an implicative level. Just say it, Jeff: Activision's cushy set-up and the inflated sense of privilege playing the game was given blew Gladstone's pliable mind. You know, just like he said it did in his review, except he thought it was the game. Meanwhile, the rest of us who have played the game but not received Activision's VIP Super Top Secret Status treatment would beg to differ Doom 3's alleged mind-blowing effects. |
