New Review Posted: Driv3r

Scott Jones burns rubber through the ludicrously-titled Driv3r, and shares some very personal information with us:

"I've been known to sip a cold one or two (or three) when I do my gaming. I know it's probably not a very professional thing for me to do—imagine Ebert hitting the bar before his afternoon screening of The Manchurian Candidate. But videogames are time-consuming endeavors. If they're going to get played at all, they have to conform to my lifestyle to some degree, and my lifestyle at this point in time involves draining a six-pack on occasion. Over the years I've learned that six-packs can sometimes make games more palatable, particularly try-and-die games like Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow. When I'm sober, I'll lose my patience in a matter of minutes, but if I'm working a buzz, I can try and die countless times and not mind all that much. (If only Pandora Tomorrow had come with a complimentary case of Heineken, I might have gotten through the fussy single-player campaign, but I digress)"

The rest of the alcohol-soaked review can be found here: http://www.gamecritics.com/review/driv3r/main.php

Re: New Review Posted: Driv3r

I would liked to have read about the minigames available. It's too bad this review doesn't even mention them considering they are the best part of the game according to some reviews.

I really enjoyed Stuntman, and I would even consider purchasing Driv3r if the extra modes are comparable in quality.

Just something for the Second Opinion writer to keep in mind.

Re: New Review Posted: Driv3r

Over the course of the many and sometimes controversial Scott Jones reviews, we've learned many things about him. Throughout past reviews, we've learned that he feels inadequate and has an un-approving father. Now we learn that he often gets buzzed. .
