I'll do it. Originally Ken Williams, but Sushi X wasn't just one guy, after a while basically the whole staff took turns being Sushi X.

Because video games are cringe and nobody wants their real name attached to it.

I don't know, anonymous. I really don't know. Probably they just didn't want people sending them angry letters. I remember PSM had this luchador fellow too.

Something sort of charming about reviewers expressing discomfort/annoyance with excessive swearing in a game.

>Replay: 3
This is less to do with them specifically but replay is always been a hot topic for me. They go on and on about how this game is so phenomenal but they basically say they're probably never gonna play it again. You didn't see this from movie or book critics but people always act like that a game needs to have all these bells and whistles for it to be replayble. If a game is good then it's replayble because good things deserve to be played just for being good. Fans of most any other medium would constantly revisit favorites just because they liked them. And I know games often take a lot of time to complete but that's for absolutely perfect runs, let's not pretend you can't knock out most FF games pretty quickly especially if you just keep to the main plot. Likewise while a game critic might have more on their plate time wise to revisit every game the review numbers should be for the audience not their own intentions to replay.

You can't untwist a twist
>You didn't see this from movie or book critics
Because those media have existed for multiple times the span of time games have existed. 5 times for the former, some 150 times for the latter. They already knew what gamers need to be told again. FF7 in particular hits far less hard when all the twists are laid out.

>You can't untwist a twist
And a twist can't carry your story. A good twist relies on information established early on making the reviews BETTER because you know it. The Sixth Sense is actually a more enjoyable film once you know the big reveal and your brain is going into overdrive to piece the puzzle together.

Are you kidding? Some of the best games of all time are the ones you can play over and over again and still enjoy yourself. It's the same with movies and books. If I love a movie AND watch it many times without hating it, then it's a phenomenal film.

When I was younger, my opinions matched most closely to Sushi-X's too. There were a few times I may have disagreed, but it was most aligned to his column, but these days it may be Ed's.
