The idea may have a commercial foundation but is kind of crappy if you analyze it from an ethical point of view. By doing such a review you are guaranteed to piss against the wind and get more readers subsequently. The first victim of this trend was in my opinion The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. The idea is not to start from an objective point of view but to begin with a simple supposition that the game is inherently bad or at best poorly designed. There is a wild concept going among reviewers and more game journalists adhere to it: it's called a negative review. I wanted to post the review immediately after the release but I thought to myself I had to abstain so I could watch everyone around me go nuts. Sure it had all the attributes of a great game and many have started to reminisce the golden days when Bioshock was dubbed the spiritual successor of the aforementioned game, but I had some doubts. Not many remember the System Shock series and I have to say I didn't especially enjoy the second game in the franchise, System Shock 2. Pleasure and beauty are the best words to describe the world of Rapture.
