"Part of the reason revolves around the technical complexity of the game, which debuted to stellar reviews in July. ''Majestic'' is designed to embroil players in a government plot that should give conspiracy lovers their best taste of paranoia since the ``X-Files."
"Stellar reviews?" I can't think of a single major gaming site/magazine that didn't roundly pan it (although in retrospect, George Jones' preview in CGW feels rather sycophantic). Probably the only "stellar reviews" it got were from little "tech section" blurbs in magazines like Maxim or something, where the critics barely play the thing before writing the review anyway.
