Well, we are getting bombarded by LBP2 reviews all day today, from major websites such as IGN, 1up, etc. Overall the review scores are great, but what struck me as funny is that half of these websites can't even get the games name right.
Is this the direction Gaming journalism is headed? Where we cant even fact check our titles? What happened to quality control? If the New York Times spelled the title of a movie wrong, there would be hell to pay.
A website as huge as 1up spelled the name wrong, does that make them a bad source? It could invalidate their review. If they can't even get the title right, can we really trust them to get the score right? What if they put the wrong letter for their score? Did they really play the game?
It may be nitpicking, but thats what reviewers are supposed to do, nitpick everything. Get the name right people, you just played the damn game for hours (we hope), can't you at least fact check your reviews?
Gaming journalism is going downhill, and this is a prime example of it. Lets get this straight, its LittleBigPlanet 2, Not Little Big Planet 2, if you cant see the difference, there are no spaces in LittleBigPlanet.
