I think that magazines like Maxim, who writes their whole review within one column, tend to rate games according to how manly they are. I.e. Sudeki, big boobs, fighting, great game! Halo guns, guns, guns, you're the hero, excellent game!
I'm more interested in what happens if you manage to turn him to LS.
