         My website doesn't trumpet any game as the "greatest ever".  If   
   you would read, you would realize that my website is about appreciating   
   games for what they are, not forcing them to subjugate other games in   
   order to enjoy them.  If Bel doesn't like Shadow of the Colossus for its   
   framerate, or thinks that makes it not a *great* game, then he has   
   chosen an actual reason to say so.  I don't like it for its gameplay,   
   and how slow it is (which is partially affected by its framerate).  I   
   also don't like playing Zelda 64, which I think Shadow is attempting to   
   emulate in some ways.  This, too, is looking at a product, and choosing   
   not to play it further for actual reasons.  You, on the other hand, have   
   claimed that the game is impossible to adequately describe, and yet so   
   amazing that it's merits are ambiguous.  We've asked you to explain   
   yourself, you've responded with *personal attacks* instead.  Thus, you   
   are a troll.  You may love it, nobody's contesting that, but you cannot   
   demonstrate that this slow and buggy game of Mr. Mosquito meets Link is   
   one of the best *games* ever.
