Re: Review: FPSFreek Specter

Yeah, I always wonder how extending the thumbsticks is supposed to improve accuracy. For me it's the exact way around. The closer your thumbs are to to the base of sticks the more precise and nuanced moves you can do. And besides that, stock sticks are usually the best in Xbox controllers. Only the horrible PS3 controller ever needed better grip on its super loose rubbery sticks.

Re: Editor's Opinion: Why Refusing Review Embargoes Isn’t the Way to Go

I guess that if you review a game and it sucks balls and you really want to take a stand against review embargo you just go and break it as soon as the review is ready. I cancelled my Aliens: Colonial Marines pre-order once the reviews were up. Fortunately I had a Wii U versin pre-ordered which was due at later date (and eventually cancelled) so it was possible to just cancel it with one click. Since then I try to avoid pre-ordering games unless I'm sure that I want to play something at launch regardless of review scores and there's a good pre-order deal in terms of price. There's just no point in doing that in order to "reserve" a copy if we're talking about standard editions.
