Metacritic is a joke!
The first time I logged to metacritic, I thought that it was a wonderful idea. A place where you could find links, datas and all kind of stuff about game's and movie's reviews. With a fancy user based score added to the mix, intended as a mean to balance the critics and a nice overall score as an economic index about the trends of the game in the critical world. I know that the metacritic score was not meant to be taken literally. I hoped that everyone would realize that the metacritic score lacked scientific value. I laughed at the fears of the people who believed that the metacritic score would have influenced creative and business decision in a negative way. I was so wrong...

Long live the king!
If I could only travel back in time to the middle of the 90's what kind of result would I get from googling the RPG's acronym? I'm not sure off course but I guess that most hits would have been about pen & paper games: Dungeons and Dragons, World of Darkness, Call of Chtuluh and the other traditional role-playing games. Just try now and most result will be about computer and console role-playing games: for most people in the world, RPGs are just a videogame's genre.

Graphical Lifting!
Sorry for the short hiatus but I was busy with a graphical overhaul of the blog. Blogger's default templates are fine but they all look like some sort of diary. I wanted something more flashy and zinelike...

Welcome!
First post. Blank page. Do you know how it feels, don't you? Rule number one: best keep it short and simple.
Welcome
to "The Beta Critic", yet another blog devoted to videogames reviews,
thoughts about game design and good old fashioned rants.
More to come in the next few days: I hope you'll enjoy the stay.
Cheers,
The Beta Critic.
