Nonsense. I'm anti-4e, and even I thought this review was inaccurate, poorly conceived, and just one big 4e hit piece intended to, well, fan the flames of hatred.

Because, let's face it, it was. The guy is either horribly unfamiliar with the game he's reviewing, or this is a troll. If you don't see that in the writing, then you're just as bad as the 4e fans.

(Disclosure: I think 4e is a huge step in the wrong direction, but not because of healing surges or the new alignment scheme any other such nonsense.)
