I dunno why people still take this magazine seriously. It's sort of hard to rebuild credibility after you put Limp Bisquick on the cover and take him srsly. Really, it seems like their ratings and reviews have less to do with personal opinions than the opinions they expect the masses to have.

I don't think the magazine is entirely dead or worthless as a format, but this particular one has certainly jumped the shark.
