    The Big Picture: Maddening

    This felt like just a big rant. Celebrities have the power of their reputation. If people who buy sports games care enough about animal rights, the sales will show.

    The Big Picture: Magneto Was Right

    I have a bully in school. He likes bullying because he needs someone to be the center of jokes. He just chooses his victims by random; it's not about your interests.

    Zero Punctuation: Metal Gear Solid 4

    I disagree that The World Ends with You has "too much story and not enough game." The screen is not filled with text, and the gameplay is unique, customizable and, in my opinion, adequate, despite the lack of interactivity (as you mentioned in your other review)
