A lazy, condescending dismissal of some of the best games of the past year.

On Mass Effect 3:

The amount of violence was both staggering and curiously untroubling: it was bland and empty – just like the game itself. Boring, sci-fi tosh, I wrote in my notebook. Alien both literally and metaphorically.

Some good stuff in the comments, though. Apologies to all the moms who aren’t stuck up, book-obsessed windbags.
