I gathered that Kevin's review was less than perfect.
Did he dis' the KeyWiz badly or just leave out some things he should have mentioned?

Monkeybomb NAILED it with the "might be a contender" comment.  He didn't say it sucked, but he left out a LOT that should have been mentioned, added faults that weren't faults, etc.

Like I said at the start of the page, I basically reprinted the entire review, b/c there was that little to it that didn't need revising.

monkeybomb:
It seemed to me like he went after it.  If I remeber right he made comparisons that weren't even true.  He showed a chart that included features on the IPAC that weren't available at the price he quoted.  That to me is just blatant.

I actualy like Kevin's reviews and I check his site daily.  It is a great rescource for all of us.  He just blew it on that review pretty badly.

IntruderAlert:
Did Kevin ever reply at all?

Man.. this stinks..
You guys just ruined my opinion of RetroBlast! >:(

Don't let it ruin retroblast for you, just use it for what it is.  He is just a guy with some opinions, not the all knowing harware god.  He doesn't claim to be more than that.  There are facts in his reviews just use the grain of salt you use with movie, restaurant and game reviewers.  I think I know where his bias is and I don't expect complete objectivity from any reviewer.  It's just unrealistic. 

After Tiger-Heli wrote his response Kevin did provide a link to it on his front page.  What I was really disapointed with was that he never fixed the pricepoint on the comparison.  It was simply incorret and should have been changed.
