Somebody at <a href=http://www.computerandvideogames.com>Computer and Video Games</a> wrote <a href=http://www.computerandvideogames.com/r/?page=http://www.computerandvideogames.com/reviews/reviews_story.php(que)id=101241>this crap</a> and tried to pass it for a review of <a href=http://www.whiptailinteractive.com/games_bladeandsword.php>Blade&Sword</a> giving it <b>55%</b> for bad manual and outdated graphics.

<blockquote>Blade & Sword attempts to sprinkle some good old Monkey magic into an action-RPG mix, with a yarn firmly entrenched in ancient Chinese folklore. The description on the back of the box claims that the game features "Diablo-like action elements and Street Fighter arcade combat". Having played it, we can say that these claims are misleading</blockquote>
<br>
Later on they say it's a <i>reasonably competent RPG with over-fiddly combat</i>, but since they refused to say another word on the gameplay topic, we still have no clue what kinda gameplay Blade&Sword offers

That's more like a forum review than a professional gaming site review. I last paraphrase the last part, to review the review :

But I soldiered on, learned nothing more about the game, and couldn't even access the screenshots without registering. And you know what? I honestly wondered why C&VG bothered... 17.28 % - EE.
