... because some prick called Alan Boiston ;) gave Need for Speed: Undercover a fucking 4/10.

GameSpot and Game Informer gave it 7, TeamXbox gave it 8 and 1up gave it a B. They were closer to to truth.

I think WonderWall's 8.8 was the truest reflection of the games standing. IGN and Eurogamer (God if fucking love Eurogamer. Usually) got it wrong too... but just because they're far more popular than Kikizo... it doesn't mean they're right!

Fix it fuckers.

PS. Doree... you need to whip the new bitch and get him to increase his output or you'll never meet the criteria required to be listed on Gamerankings and Metacritic.

Dude, you question Alan's take on a racing game at your peril :D And we are on fucking Metacritic and Gamerankings, thank you very much.

Really?

Huh... well disregard that last bit then. Obviously fulfilling the criteria to be listed doesn't equate to a quality website ;)

So just fix the damn score already...

Yeah, they're letting any sort in these days. There's some complete twat on there called Edwin Evans-Thirlwell, sounds like a real head-case.

Alan's just called to say he's taking his new Bentley out for a spin - it might be a good idea to stay off the streets for a few weeks.

I run the fucking streets.

And i'm almost 100% sure that you are actually Theo Paphitis... moonlighting as a half decent game reviewer. Seriously... just come clean.

Nitro, I thought you didn't care about review scores.   Did you disagree with anything that he said in the article?

Imo, the handling in Need for Speed games has always sucked,  They haven't made any improvemets on this for a decade.  Once you get used to it, its a case of just trying to ignore it.  I enjoyed Most Wanted though, but I wouldn't fancy playing the whole thing again in a different form.

I didn't read the review, i just looked at the score. I should have written the review because the game is easily a 8.8/10.

Most Wanted is the best racing game we've had this generation... after WipEout HD, PGR3/4, Burnout Revenge/Paradise, Race Driver GRID and MotorStorm/2....

It's definitely better than Carbon and ProStreet... and it's a million times better than Midnight Club: Los Angeles. I don't understand why everybody likes the new Midnight Club game. The city is great, but everything else blows goats.

Seriously... if you liked Most Wanted you'd like Undercover. It's awesome!

We'll see how well you "run" them when you've been "run over". OMG TEH COMEDY GENIUS LOL.

See that's how you get ahead in life, Nitro old son. Not by mocking your betters or likening them to business celebrities, but by laying down some red hot humour. Try not to cry too hard, dear boy.

And for the record, comparing me to Theo Paphitis implies that I know how to earn lots of money. Startlingly, this isn't the case.

I'm certainly gonna rent it for my 360 when it comes back into stock at my local Blockbuster (bought Most Wanted for PC back then) and I've finished with Gears 2 and Mirror's Edge.

Its like with all these cheesy car movie/games, no matter how bad the story, dialogue, characteristics are - at the end of the day, you're only playing/watching them for the cars. 

On a side note, I never really liked the look of the new Midnight Club either.  I only ever played the first two on the PS2 - then it all got a bit irrelevant.

No :)

So which is it, Alan Carr or Theo Paphitis?

On a serious note, I haven't played Need For Speed Undercover so can't really comment. Might be worth emailing Alan himself if you have a major beef.

Well they're both pretty effeminate. Maybe that's what it is.

I love the smell of chauvinism in the afternoon.

Hahaha... maybe you should be a mod afterall...

If i had a major beef... i'd just nuke his house.

Or i'd put the sheeny curse on him ;)

We'll let Adam be the judge of that :) It's not like there's much need for it round here, Buttfreak and his tantrums aside.

At some point we'll have comments threads for articles, so you can dish out the aggro direct.

Yeah but Iad has a point. Sometimes threads just need to be clipped. You're active enough and everybody likes you, so rather than have to wait for Doree to sober up and climb out of the skip he slept in last night... you could just to the honors.

Personally though i think Eddie should be the forum Don. Cool headed, smart as fuck and a wicked sense of humour. One of the nicest people i've come accross online.

You forgot sexy too, but I digress.
