I didn't swear.
Not a single word.I just complained about some of the games issues.
and it wasn't in my blog.you can write reviews in gamespot.there is a section for user reviews and such for each game.

I have a hard time believing that. There are plenty of negative user reviews, why would they delete yours? There is some other reason it got deleted, I assure you.

don't know man :shrug:
I didn't even used a word like "stupid"...let alone words like "shitty" "fuck" and so on.
but i do remember that some other bad reviews from other users were vanished to.
I still have the original message from gamespot here :

yeah,that's probably what they should have written in the first place !
I also remember that one of the Mass Effect Fan boys was complaining with me that "Teh GAmE iS Teh Uber Shi(t?)zzzor" and he told me that why i have written a bad review about the game.But i didn't even insulted him.my guess is that he has told about my review to one of the moderators(his buddy perhaps ?) and they deleted my review.
 
Do you have a copy of the review back-up'd somewhere? Now you got me curious about it. ;o

Somewhat disappointing. Scare tactics to discourage anti-mainstream opinions, though, fortunately, on the internet, that usually goes in the exactly opposite direction. And Atari, wow. I mean, sure, as long as they have a substantial and valid claim to roll with a legal action, 's all fine. But it's crystal clear what they're doing here, exactly... truckload of shitty PR for them, bad move.

unfortunately no...i searched for it yesterday.
 
In a way, it'd almost be funny to launch a digg bomb on atari over this.

Just too see if they sue digg over it if nothing else.
 
I am not sure if the big game magazines and sites can be trusted anymore but I saw this game in the stores today.
Decided not to waste my money on it.
