Welcome to “Backhanded Box Quotes,” a collection of super pissed-off user reviews from people just like you! Whoa, whoa, don’t take that personal.

Dragon’s Dogma
Released: May 22
Critic: The Gentleman (Metacritic)
• “This is a terrible game wrapped up in the ideas for a good game.”
• “The AI tag alongs are about as helpful as taking the pill in the third trimester of pregnancy!”
Score: 3
Critic: nicknamesbestupid (Amazon)
• “I was just about to open my copy of Dragon’s Dogma, which I had pre-ordered some weeks back, when I saw news that Capcom admits that this game has on-disc DLC. I knew I was taking a gamble when pre-ordering this game, since this IS Capcom we’re talking about. But since this was an RPG and not a fighting game I thought it was worth the risk. Well, guess I was wrong.
Sorry, Capcom. I, as a responsible consumer, refuse to support such unethical business practices. I shall be returning my copy to Amazon ASAP.”
Score: 1 star
Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II
Released: May 16
Critic: NextGenFilter (Metacritic).
