Scene: Bob and Fred are sat on a sofa with two Xbox 360 controllers.
Fred: Welcome to another edition of scripted gamer.
Bob: (sings theme tune to the good the bad and the ugly)
Fred: What are you doing
Bob: (continues)
Fred: Oh good grief, Really Bob
Bob: Are you talking to me pardner
Fred: Well yes who else would I be talking to, you’re the only other person here
Bob: It was one of them rhetrioical questions
Fred: Rhetorical
Bob: Thems fighting words mister
Fred: How is rhetorical a fighting word
Bob: oh you said it again this leaves me no choice, prepare to meet your maker
Fred: Will you cut it out
Bob: Draw!
Fred: Bob!
Bob: bang, bang bang.
Fred: Really!!
Bob: You are so dead right now
Fred: Well clearly I’m not
Bob: Well you totally would be if you was in the gunstringer
Fred: a tenuous link at best but one I’ll take, todays game is the Kinect shooter the gunstringer
Bob: It’s Brill
Fred: Now normally me and Bob are usually sceptical of kinect games as we find more often than not they are a bit...buggy
Bob: As in they dont do what they’re meant to do, or they do but only just
Fred: The gunstringer however is a unique concept
Bob:Bob: You control an undead puppet
Fred: Marionette
Bob: It’s not a girl Fred, it’s a puppet
Fred: that’s not what..oh never mind, so whilst your left hand controls the...... puppets movement the right controls your gun
Bob: And you shoot pretty much everything
Fred: there’s a primitive cover shoot system but it’s still unique for Kinect
Bob: The story is a classic revenge tale
Fred: except that you seem to be performing the tale to a live theatre audience
Bob: yeah that was a bit weird....but fun
Fred: Yes weird but fun, I cant imagine how you find it easy to relate to that
Bob: even though I dont really get what you just said, something inside me knows it was a dig about me
Fred: I have no idea what you’re talking about
Bob: HMMMM, well basically folks we rate this game, it’s not for hardcore gamers but it is a lot of fun
Fred: and weird
Bob: definitely weird
Fred: Just like you, we’ve been the scripted gamers
Bob: OI!!!
Fred: Goodnight

Sorry about that. But so far we've not found a way to streamline our review output - there's basically too much of it.
