The idea of this topic is to share gaming news stories that are fun, crazy, weird, and/or just plain dumb but you HAVE TO PROVIDE A LINK TO A SOURCE OF THE NEWS STORY. I'll go first:
Joystick editor, Murdock, became the target for one of the craziest events in history, after proving without any doubt he has no idea what he's doing when it comes to video game reviewing. After torching Conduit 2 and presenting what is quite possibly the worst review ever, he spoiled the end of the game out of spite, then continued to complain about the smallest of things that aren't even that big of a problem to begin with. Somehow, the game's developer, High Voltage Software, caught wind of this that weekend and a few members of it's staff started to "Amazon-bomb" the reviewr's book "The Dragon Ruby". But it backfired and some of Murdock's friends did the same to the game by giving it a 2-star rating on Amazon. While thay're both in the wrong, Murdock's the one making the situation worse.
