Welcome back to āBackhanded Box Quotes,ā a collection of measured, thoughtful criticism from the user reviews of Metacritic and elsewhere.
Doom? James Bond? Dragon Ball Z? Big names, big deal. With critic scores inflated like your typical Ivy League comparative lit final, weāve got to go to the vox populi to get the real word on the abject crappiness of the latest re-releases and never-shoulda-been-releases.
