Every time I try to watch the video, I get an error: "303: Unable to load a resource. Unable to load resources: Error #2306"
Aaaaand, I've just tried it in Internet Explorer (stupid! stupid! stupid!) and it tried to do a "security scan" on my PC....
To anyone trying to view this video...stay away. The site it's on is apparently trying to load malware or something on your computer.

That'll do pig. That'll do.
To be fair, an overly critical review is still a review. He comes at it from a negative stand point, but he does point out good things the game does, and when a game is genuinely good he does like it.
Batman: Arkham Asylum is a good example of a review where he expresses why it is a good game, while doing his normal "laugh at the bad bits" part. Complete with ripping on the cover for the game, and stating while doing so that the game is so good he has to attack the cover art.
I wouldn't take him as the be all, end all for a review score. But if he genuinely likes a game, there is probably something of merit in the game. Besides, he gets credit if only for the Infamous/Prototype competition that the devs actually responded to!

I'm pretty sure if you see this sort of thing on http://www.escapistmagazine.com then you are already infected...or your one of those people who put urls in the search bar instead of the address bar.

Ehh, I've had trouble loading the videos on the Escapist lately too - I think it's a serverside issue, since they load normally later.

Chances are your computer is already infected; the site is clean. Run a full system scan, check your hosts file, and if everything seems OK locally, try a different DNS server (Google's 8.8.8.8 will do fine).|

Don't trust whatever antivirus you're using, run HiJackThis and make note of suspicious process, especially IE addons. If you don't use it as main browser, get rid of anything that HiJackThis finds linked to it; you'll be happier.

see, i have been gaming since the 2600 days and before, and i dont see a specific stagnation thats any worse than has been around since everyone was making 2d fighters or mascot based platformers. escalating budgets may have cause the big ticket games to conform a bit more closely to certain overused tropes, but i recall the exact same issue in the 16 bit era.
