Yesterday it was reported that Official Xbox Magazine UK have reviewed Space Giraffes and given it 2/10 in their October issue. Today Programmer Jeff Minter launches into verbal tirade against the reviewer and accuses him of not playing the game correctly.
If you stick an audio CD into an Xbox One it will (after downloading the relevant app) play it quite happily, and even pull the album cover and track list from the Gracenote database. Neat. Do the same with an Xbox 360, and you will enter a whole different world – one that is entirely generated by the best visualizer ever created.
In 2003, after 20 years of creating lightsynths for almost every platform, Jeff managed to get his incredible vision for Neon into a console that lasted a decade and sold more than 80 million units worldwide.
I loved the 360 music visualizer. I remember the short video they made about the making of it.
Its strange, MS had so much focus regarding music playback when the last gen kicked off but they don't seem as bothered this time round.
I was personally hoping for a kickass visualizer this time round but no, not even background music. And we are still waiting, Lame.

People who pour their blood and sweat into a game and have it dissed non-chalantely and for invalid reasons have the duty and responsibility to stand up for themselves and their work.
Go at those reviewers who don't understand sh*t. Let them have it. IGN and Gamespot all take 2 weeks to review a game. They spend as much time as possible with it and their reviews (although sometimes disagreed with, are usually (not always, ahem, Perfect Dark Zero....) spot on.
This chowder clown on playthree is a moron. it wasn't even JEFF who brought up the reviewer's inability to grasp the concept of the game.
