New Review Posted: Battlefield 2142

I play Battlefield 2142, and admittedly don't 'get' the whole online FPS thing, but can't bring myself to hold that against the game:

"For a good long while I was looking for the right compound word to use to describe this game. After consulting with my friends and family, town elders, and unnameable things that live in the outer walls of a madman’s imagination, I settled on one: Review-Proof. Battlefield 2142 is made for people who played Battlefield 2, which was made for people who played theDesert Combat mod for Battlefield 1942, which was made by people who played Battlefield 1942, for people who played Battlefield 1942. Okay, that got a little complicated towards the end there, but that incoherence serves to illustrate my point—this isn’t a game for newcomers or the uninitiated. So what’s the point in reviewing it?"

Is there a point? Find out here!

Re: New Review Posted: Battlefield 2142

I was initially hesitant to read this because the paragraph provided here felt off and because I don't care about those sorts of games. Turns out, this is really a good little review that is right on the money with its main point. This might get some pimping from me elsewhere, although I do take issue with the way you sort of back off and go back to typical game review writing after the first few 'graphs, where you look like you're going in for the kill.
