AOTF:As many gamers have learned over the years, video game reviews are nothing but opinions of a users experience with a product. Many things can go into this calculation of a games score. But for the most part, games tend to be rated within a band or average as the number of reviews increases. Call it the ease of going with the flow, or a herd mentality, but you always have that review that sticks out like a sore thumb. Some may call these types of reviews flame baiting or stupidity, we call it balls, because Hell hath no fury like a fanboy scorned. These are our top five most controversial game reviews in recent history.

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.
Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.
Pity.
The Opening Levels that hooked gamers from the outset.
While FFVII ranks highly, there's more to the series than one game. Here's Chit Hot's picks for the seven best Final Fantasy characters.
Lol destructoid, what a pathetic joke of a website.
is *NOT* a professional gamer, man, he souldn't be able to be near a computer to begin with!
The motherfvcker is always writing the purest sh1t out of his sick mind, sometimes i even ask myself if his brain is really THAT atrophied to concive what he tries to comunicate, or the people at that joke site do it just for the hits.
Nevertheless he is a goddam shame for this generation of consoles, people like him should be banned from gaming and castrated to prevent them to spread his stupidity in the planet.
A fansite that has issues with proper grammar is critiquing actual websites?
Who's critiquing? It's a list of controversial reviews.
Did you read the review? It was controversial, in it's tone. Relative to most of the reviewers. And with all scoring it in the top tenth, the couple of 80's stuck out.
