Their app is pretty good to get a glimpse at the latest releases. Their reviews are utter shite.

I only use the board because they actually discuss the games pretty decently (when they arent arguing over price drops)

Do they give you the games to review, or do you select whatever you feel like? You should pimp some games. Like Drakerider!

Man, I wish Richard Honeywood was my friend.  That whole paragraph was in there mostly to counter the people coughcoughamericanscough complaining that the game had a shitty Engrish translation, when it was really them not knowing how accents work.

Richard knows how accents work

but not how people use them

That doesn't matter though, does it? They list anyone that has even done five minutes of work on title like Team Bondi did for L.A. Noir, right?

Sure, but if he only did five mins of work, there would probably be more names in the credits for localization staff.  Plus, it's totally a Honeywood job.  Everyone has a different wacky accent.  Nobody else does that kind of translation.

Probably the last thing he's working on for a while. He's taking six months off and chilling out in Ozzieland

Hehe to be fair Oscar I made this thread in earnest not to slag, usually I dont check who writes what there but I read two reviews that were better  then the rest and lo behold!

I was sure though that translator dude must have been your friend though.
