EGM is not a person
It's called "the text of the review" which is summarized in the OP

I would not call this game a "kids" game. Maybe if you compare that game with others games from io interactive (which are famous for they m rated games)
Some infos (from my source):
The devolpenig of the game began early 2006
Release: 2008
You can call - if you see the game - a highlight of 2008.
It is not a kids-game like Dewey but the game is for the whole family - like a Zelda game.
They are other Wii Eidos games in development.

Mini-Rant:
I just got this EGM issue yesterday (it doesn't pay off to be a subscriber, they send you your issue weeks after it's on new stands) and I'm appalled at the quality of the magazine, especially the Lair review. In the review Crispin B. was the only one who properly criticized the game. He managed to tell us why he didn't like it while Ford and Garnett just tried to sound hip while dissing the game. Example of Garnett's Hip-talk:
Also, anyone read the Halo 3 article? That also was a mess. Although I like Perish, his article needed some work. There were several sentences that just didn't make sense, for example:

Example of Garnett's Hip-talk:
That analogy almost doesn't make sense, and it's ineffective for a game review when you only have 4-5 sentences to plead your case. In addition to this they asked Julian Eggebrecht questions about Lair. You'd think they'd be professional and ask good questions, but that's far too much to expect from them. Whoever asked the questions made an ass out of himself while also making himself look like he was too retarded to play the game correctly. You'd have to read for yourself to see what I'm talking about, but they essentially tried to duplicate the attitude of the Shoe-Peter Moore interview about the 360 way back when. They failed horribly and it made them look unprofessional and unreliable. I've never complained about EGM's unprofessional attitude (they're a video games magazine, for pete's sake) but now they're just being rude, stupid, and fake while giving us uninformative reviews. I've already decided to cancel my subscription the next time the renewal comes up. There are other magazines that are more deserving of my money.Garnett Lee said:

Uh, horrible opening sentence for the article.J. Parish said:
There was a page turn between the first part of that sentence and "be damned" and I looked several times to the middle of that sentence and just trying to make sense of it, but it was nowhere to be found and the sentence just didn't make sense. Maybe I'm dyslexic but I just couldn't make sense of that. Where's the editor, lawl?J. Parish said:

No, the most unprofessional thing about that issue was that they gave the developer of a game an equal amount of space to defend his game as they gave the review. What the **** is that nonsense?

I work with Med Students and many of them are quite excited when they start cutting. Looks like Garnett is talking about things he really doesn't know about again. Somewhat fitting considering that Lair was very much incomplete when they reviewed it.

I'm usually shocked how late I get my EGM. Subscribing to it is the worst thing ever. I get to see scores of a issue like 2-3 days after I get the issue before it. I wonder what's the deal with that.
Edit: Oh October and September. I thought there was a repost of the locked thread discussing the lair and blue dragon issue.

I gotta ask what they were thinking with those Picross DS scores - "zooming makes it hard"? Picross DS took a nose-dive when I had to zoom, but only until I mastered d-pad + touch screen, which made it better than ever (and it's not even hard to figure out!).
