Majesco Issues GameSpot Three Snaps In A Z-Formation
Apparently, Majesco did not take to kindly to Gamespot writer Alex Navarro's review of Cooking Mama 2: Dinner with Friends for the Nintendo DS. While Mr. Navarro awarded the game a 6.0 (fair), obviously someone at Majesco took great insult to some of his sharper comments.
My, oh my. The tone in this letter just smacks of snarkiness.
Majesco's email to GameSpot concerning their Cooking Mama 2 review makes me uneasy [GoNintendo]

HAHAHAHAHAHA!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOo, oh no she didn't!!!!
If they make a crappy game, they get a crappy review... Doesn't "Cooking Mama" end up in bargain bins anyway? 'Nough said. Next.
Man, way to quote out of context and be pissed off at being called out for milking the franchise (and in a very, very bad way according to the review), Majesco. This sounds more like an addon that could have been a 200k dlc.
But props for trying to scare off the last talent Gamespot has (I actually thought Navarro'd left already), all Kane & Lynch Style.
Dicks.

Great letter, the writer is clearly a genius of the highest calibre, a calibre of which a Gamespot employee should aspire too [But never reach, obviously]
I love snide, condescending letters, especially when the receivers have no idea how to respond to it..
Think Majesco should have tried to "bribe" Gamespot with ad dollars? Maybe it would have worked the second time around.
How long till this writer gets the axe? Oh this game was not advertising on spotwhore
Another example of the game maker wanting to put pressure on the reviewers. Shame on them. I own the first game and with or without the review...why would I buy the second game when it's basically the first game with a #2 after it. Boring. Majesco should be ashamed of themselves for throwing out a second game that obviously had no real innovation or work put into it.
The sarcasm in the letter is so thick I can barely breathe.
oh god... everyone who is all "OMGZ teh companiez is all i'm goign to firez yuo because you ahve bad review" get over it... i love how they were sarcastic about it and i think it was meant to be a joke... not something to take too seriously... i thought fellow gays could take a sarcastic joke... i guess not... i for one LOVED the letter and have more respect for said company.
