I’m not here to harp on the reporting style of this major news network.  Though if I wanted to, I could easily be biased against them.  It is no secret that occasionally they can get things wrong just like the rest of the networks, but all I am asking of them is to please, please stay away from video games.  Honestly, It’s just embarrassing.  Here’s the video I’m talking about, “Fox News Gamers Weekly: Crackdown 2 Review”.

Unfortunately, you have to head over to Hulu’s page to watch it, but I can pretty much tell you all you need to know.

Once you get past the fluff of them showing you other games, you get to the heart of the matter, the actual review of Crackdown 2.

Now I haven’t played the game myself, so obviously I cannot object to this gentleman claiming that he was bored by it.  What I do complain about is WHY he says it is boring.  He says, “Problem is you only have two main objectives, take out terrorist strongholds or light these energy beams to ignite beacons, and wipe out zombies.”  Now for those of you counting, that was THREE things he listed as objectives, not the TWO that he claimed at the beginning of his statement.

It doesn’t stop there.  He goes on to praise the fact that more people can be brought into liven things up.  However, when he says, “Luckily, you can play the entire campaign with up to four friends.”,  he must not have realized that you plus four people implies 5 individuals playing the 1-4 player co-op.

This shoddy game review just doesn’t have its facts straight.  More so, with the actual length of the “review” clocking in at just over two minutes, this pair of significant errors cannot simply be smoothed away.

Sorry Fox News, better luck next time.
