the whole review topic seems to be dead right now, so I'll throw a couple new things into the picture:

System hating

Here's the deal: Most hardcore gamers I've encountered seem to always lean slighty towards a certain system (or company), or to desperately CLING to a certain system (or company). I know I'll have some people walking in here, chins up, saying "I am free of gaming bias". Yeah, you know the drill: Cut the crap and get off your high horse. I'm partial to Sony's PS2. Does this mean I will refuse to acknowledge other systems? No. Does this mean I grin each time I see the system doing well in sales? Yes. Does this mean I grin each time I see another system doing poorly in sales? Sometimes :eek:

What makes a person perceive one or more systems having a black cloud over it? Why will someone, whenever one gets the chace, throw in an either subtle or flagrant bash towards another system, or games of that system? Some of that is in me, and I see some of it in almost every other gamer on message boards, in gaming stores or in personal conversations. What gives?

Discuss.
