Can Gamespot’s upcoming Halo 3 review be trusted?

Gamespot’s Biased Halo 3 Review

I think this picture says it all… Why even bother with content? They might as well redirect their site to Halo3.com. The scary part is this is but one of many ad-covered sites that will release their reviews of Halo 3 in the next coming weeks. I urge everyone to keep their eye on SDF for our unbiased review of Halo 3 which will be posted near the Halo 3 launch.

  1. Oh dear God you must be joking.

    Its RANDOM ADVERTISING. If they we’re really on M$ payroll, the advert wouldn’t CHANGE EVERY TIME YOU REFRESH THE PAGE.

    Basically; WORST story you’ve ever done. Ever. Seriously.

  2. why is this even a surprise? M$ can bribe any1 they want

  3. You do know that everyone is excited for Halo 3 because it is what use gamers like to refer to as “Great”

    I would like to point out that there is know way in hell that you are going to be sent a reviewer’s copy.

    You dont have any credibility with anyone with an IQ of over 50, so dont bother, if you wanted to maintain any sort of credibility you should have gave Lair a bad review.

  4. Ahhhhh Halo envy! Every PS3 fanboy must be coming down with a case of it and it will only get worse as 9/25 approaches. If the PS3 actually had a good friggin game, maybe they would have similar advertising. Untill then live with it and brag about how much empty space is on a BD and how PS3 will own everything in 2011. FINISH THE FIGHT FTMFW BABY!!!!!!

  5. hehehehe… halo envy…

    “keep their eye on SDF for our unbiased review”

    …unbiased and SDF do not belong in sentences together.

    its sad that there no PS3 games for you to talk about, so its another day of 360 hate posts.

    have fun playing folding@home

  6. Hey, here’s a word for you:

    “subtle”

    Look it up. You’re giving the joke away because you’re being too outrageous. Tone down the satire a bit, it’ll help you seem more ambiguous.

  7. Im seriously thinking of paying some hacker to fuck your site up. A Sony page where its content is 99% microsft, lol.

    Lol, if you refereshed the page you’de see ads for *GASP!* heavenly sword, among others.

  9. I cannot wait. It’s great to read fair and balanced reporting – why is it that only you seem to penetrate the deception and reveal the truth to the world?

    Incidentally, a friend of mine was telling me that the PS3 is powerful enough to emulate the Wii, with some trickery to get the wiiiiiimotes working properly. That would be so awesome – you’d have a console backwards-compatible with every important system of the last generation.

  10. Halo 3 will receive a 5/10 from SDF, just like Bioshock (even though he never played through Bioshock lol).

    Why are you guys questioning fair reviews when you yourselves don’t review any games fairly? Lair was not a 10. Bioshock will be up for game of the year and it is NOT a 5.

    No one trusts you now. Well done.

  11. Idiots. Why would a site as biased as SDF post up in the top right hand corner… MAJOR NIELSON. That’s like coke linking to Mountain Dew on their frontpage. This site is a joke! Calm the eff down.

  12. Unbiased dosen’t seem to be in your vocabulary or at least your mentality. SDF are fucking assholes and I would LOVE to sit and have a chat with these pieces of dogshit ANYDAY. What do you say ladies?

  13. @Willey

    I think that OnionB (who runs this site) is jokeing, however M0dus et al. (who post here and run the forums) are not.

    which itself is funny if it is true.

  14. I get a kick out of going back to the very beginning of this shitty web site and seeing how when the creator would post lame ass PS3 news about another firmware update for the PS3 or some shit about a PSP game, nobody would leave a comment. Then one day they decide to create a fake review on BioShock and they get nearly 200 responses. Since then everything has been a joke aimed at the 360. Hey, in the end it entertains me and I get to trash Sony in the process. The funny part is that the things said here in jest are not too far off what a true sony fanboy would say.

  15. Since when do this site do unbaised reviews? Stick with what your good at. lol And Im pretty sure the HALO 3 reivews will be excellent across the board, so if you choose not to believe Gamespots review, look at one of the hundred other critics that im sure are going to give it a spectacular review. I’m guessing (using your review of Bioshock as a basis) that HALO 3 is going to get a 4 out of 10… Its just a guess. I look forward to seeing it and laughing.

  16. HAHAHAHAH!

    Like any fans care about your review.
    The only ones that will read are sony fanbois
    This site is obviously trollbait

    Anyone with half a brain will read your review and laugh

    Unbiased hah my ass.

    I look forward to EGM gamespot ign and every other review site because you know if they give halo 3 a 10 they must be on microsofts pay roll, gimme a break.

  17. wow I hate gamestop cause they sell cheap and broken stuff but when fanboys come together and make a WEBSITE TO DEFEND SONY thats just sad same thing goes to the xbox360 ITS A DAMN CONSOLE

    and when you review it PLZ Im telling you now don’t give it automatically a 1 out of 5 or say “This game is the !@#$ing worst game ever” cause you all fanboys do this kind of stuff

  18. Its an ad! Microsoft pays for those spots. It has nothing to do with gamespot.

  19. WOW, your one to talk about whether or note someone ELSE’S reviews should be trusted.

  20. SDF’s review of Halo 3 will be like this:

    This game is horrible. The 360 is being pushed to it’s limits and since it’s not on blu-ray and using the awesome power of CELL it fails on all levels. Now the multiplayer is also equally horrible if not more so. The online is laggy and only 8 ppl get to play unlike Warhawks 32 player online game. 1/10.

    Here it is folks SDF’s unbiased review of Halo 3.
    Holy shit this site is a fucking joke.

  21. ColdYellow: You should reread your last sentence a few times, srsly.

  22. Fuck that. You can trust my Halo 3 review. I’ll be playing it with my wireless Halo 3 Controler, while downing some Halo 3 Game Fuel, sitting in my living room in my Halo 3 underwear and yelling “OnionB’s mom sucks it like a 2 dollar whore” on my wireless Halo 3 headset. Shit I don’t even have to play it cause I can already tell you that the average Halo 3 score will be a 9 out of 10. I wonder what OnionB will be playing on his spectacular PS3 while I’m fragging bitches and ho’s. OnionB can you even decide what to play, I know the PS3′s software lineup is so awesome its gotta be difficult to pick. Oh well, atleast you have Lair.

    Good call maybecca.

    I DO wish that whoever runs this site would start throwing in some real shit along with the fakes, to keep the Gump Squad (my new word for anyone who still thinks SDF is a real sit) interested. Anybody else agree?

  24. LairIsTehRoxorz Says:
    September 14th, 2007 at 5:19 pm

    *edit: anyone who thinks SDF is a real SITE*

  25. SDF isn’t a real source of news! Whatcha talkin bout LairIsTehRoxorz?

  26. This is explains it all

  27. Well Halo 3 is coming and i think you guys can go buy $100 dollars of Mountain Dew with the picture of master chief on it just wait they are coming out with Master Chief Toilet Paper i cant wait to wipe my ass with master Chief

  28. unbiased?!?!?!?
    LMFAOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLROFLLLLLLLLL

    thanks for the good laugh
    seriously

  29. Halo 3 is going to get a lot of GOTY! reviews, if they’re biased or not is open for discussion. It’s not the first time it happened and Halo 3 might be the most important game ever to be released.

  30. PS3UP, why not wipe your ass with Lairs manual instead. Then you can justify the money you spent on it.

  31. As hilarious as this site is for winding up the Xbox fanboys (and I’m a 360 owner myself and very proud of it), it really is quite sad how many people cream themselves over the utter averageness that is the Halo franchise. They’re decent enough games, but the hype and blinkered “zomg best game evar!11″ stuff is just plain dumb.

  32. Unbiased review? “Sony defence force” Oh yeah that sounds like its going to be a nice unbiased review,
    you fucking moron

  33. ps3up i see youre back! suck my balls

  34. SDF, how stupid do you get?

    A. Try NOT faking the screenshot next time

    B. The advertisements on there are RANDOM, great job at sounding like an ass now. On to flame your other rediculous news announements…

    you expect to be trusted as unbiased, yet you give Bioshock (10 out of 10 in what? 7 no 15 different reviews) a 5. Halo possibly the biggest game in the country deserves no lower than an 8. also play the game (you need a 360 to do that) before reviewing it and giving it a shitty review base on the fact that 360 doesnt use blue ray. (blue ray is your biggest weapon which is sad, especially when you base games on its graphics)

  36. Haha, unbiased review, story of your lives, right?

    You guys are great entertainment, keep it up.

    Have you ever been to Gamespot?

    I recall seeing an ad exactly like that for LAIR, which they reviewed a 4.5 out of 10.

    Gamespot is a business. If you’re not a subscriber, then those parts of the page are sold off as advertisements basically to the highest bidder, who in this case was Mountain Dew.

    Gamespot doesn’t get to pick and choose which game they want in the ad. Obviously they can set guidelines and rules, but the ultimate specific content is up to the ad-provider.

    I can see you guys really know what you’re doing!

  38. LOL calling SDF unbiased is like the same as calling FOX News unbiased. If you do then I apologize.

    Random advertising. I’m looking at gamespot plastered with Heavenly Sword ads right now.

    I doubt it matters now but Gamespots review department and the AD department are two separate buildings that have nothing to do with each other. But if you go on with logic like that then you should look at their webiste now. They got ad’s of Heavenly Sword up. Does that mean that the review of Heavenly Sword is baised too? Of course not. Because its a PS3 game right? If I should go further on the fact that they are unbaised then look at this. Remember that game Hour of Victory? They advertised that game for about two weeks before the review and ya know what it got? A FREAKING 2!!! If you don’t have anything to say, don’t say anything at all.

  41. They have the same thing for Heavenly Sword and other PS3 games, WTF are you guys smoking….

    Hey guess what I saw today?

    Gamespot plastered with ads for Heavenly sword.

    Guess we can’t trust those reviews.

    /sarcasm
