Super Meat Boy Review (Re-Re-Remix)
This is a response to Cameron’s review of Super Meat Boy – which can be found here.
My major problem with Cameron’s review is that he writes it as a person with “5 levels to go!” 5 levels of the Light World there, champ.

I played the beta or for non-techies the demo last night and although the demo is very lengthy and allows you to experience a lot of the gameplay I was skeptical that the title, with a sticker price of $50, was worth it.
