LO2: Task 1 - Game Review - The Review

Three things that struck you about how the game was reviewed:
1. It reviewed the game in an avant-garde way.
2. It was entertaining to keep viewers attention.
3. It actually talked about the game and its mechanics/game play.
4. Unbiased opinion i.e. Ended up finding out about the fuss about the game
