I hate David Gibbon's arrogance. I hate the way he thinks he knows everything about games and I hate the way the BBC can't be bothered to find a decent reviewer for their Ceefax service.
David Gibbon has an appropriate name. He is a gibbon. A complete idiot.
Has anyone read those shoddy reviews like that Gibbon bloke on BBC ceefax, who thinks 7/10 is the worst score to give to anything, or is it just me who has suffered the mindless rantings about how AMAZING Roadsters is on the Dreamcast?
David Gibbon gave Roadsters 9/10 for the Dreamcast. Obviously the gaming public were not fooled, but some were. They were left fuming at this absolute pile of pants, oh and the game was utter pap. Roadsters is the worst game on the Dreamcast BAR none. How much are they paying this loser?
When the PS2 was released I open mindedly read his "LOWDOWN ON THE PS2" as advertised on Ceefax. What a load of complete backwards pants. "The PlayStation 2 is of course internet ready with a broadband modem"
Yeah, ok then.
David Gibbon reviewed a cartoon style game on the Dreamcast - it was a game aimed at kids, I can't remember exactly what it was, but he slated the game off for the whole review and awarded it 7/10 because it was awful. Does he know the scale goes from 1 - 10? Evidently not.
I am not even going to read his GBA lowdown as it will probably claim the console has wings, a tail and doubles as a Television and radio - literally, he'd probably say something ridiculous.
It is clear to me that he either has no idea about gaming or doesn't actually get the games or consoles to review them. He thinks the original PlayStation games have the most incredible graphics around and gave ChuChu Rocket 10/10.
Maybe he just doesn't KNOW how to use scoring systems?
A pity the viewers that read his drivel, and I feel sorry for him as he has clearly never played a game in his life.

The world, however, does need reviewers like him, for he makes the rest of us look like high class pro's.
Your turn - s**g him off to your hearts content.

Give him a break. He is rubbish his reviews are normally poor but some are actually utter mindless rubbish. My Granny knows more about games than he does. I hate the name both his and Gaystations. His beliefs about the Playstation and its "wonderful graphics and sound" just get up my nose. What annoys me more is that license fee money goes to pay for him. I do not hate him I just wish he was better at the reviews. I would rather he stays and improves though than get sacked.
Wow, my name was used in 4 messages consecutively.
And yes Cheese, I thought it was rather amusing as well. {:)

LOL @ Ant.
How did Gibbon get to be a noteable?

Apparently Ant registered on the 3rd, and I registered one day after him.
I just realised, I registered on the 4th day EVER!
