WSJ Review
The writer is a giant tool. Comments are fun to read though.

Borderlands 2’s single-player campaign mode isn’t as good as what you’ll find in games like COD: Black Ops or the Medal of Honor series. There’s too much “feast-or-famine” hunting for tasks, supplies and a good battle for this to be a fun game all the way through.
Tell's ya what you need to know about him.
He went in expecting a typical FPS campaign and got annoyed because he collected too much loot in a game designed around loot collecting.
He edited it after the first day it was up, but he also had Halo 4 listed as a December release. If you don't know when a AAA title will be released, you have no business reviewing games.
Although Borderlands 2 has greatly updated graphics, I'll have to knock it down a few notches because the controller just has too many buttons. In my estimation, Donkey Kong on the Atari is a far greater test of pure gaming skill, and without the gimmicks of needing extra buttons.
2/10. Would not bang.
RECENT REVIEWS BY THIS WRITER:
Skyrim: Too open, not enough structure. Buttons scare me. - 1/10.
Forza 3: I feel like I was actually driving a car, and I don't actually own a Ferrari. - 0/10.
Halo 4: Although the multiplayer is robust, I'm confused because the Konami code would not work. - 3/10.
I had to comment on his blog. I hope this was written by the intern and not by someone actually on the WSJ payroll.
Wow, way off. So far off it kinda seems like a publicity stunt.
well who doesnt go to the WSJ for game reviews after all thats what they do best.
Who goes to WSJ for game reviews anyway? THis is way outside their comfort zone, it's not surprising that the entire review is done by someone who's ignorant about games.
