There are games so bad, that while playing them comes a point where the experience and the opinion on said game is unsalvageable. At that point one can, in good faith, review the game without finishing it. And then there are games that blow up monitors.
Pro True objective reviews by the way of "Crate Review System"
Inventors of the only truly objective review system - Crate Review System. The point you encounter a Crate in the game signifies when the developers have run out of new ideas, the longer it takes to encounter a Crate the better the game (e.g. it takes longer to encounter a Crate in Blood than it takes in Half-Life, therefore Blood is the better game game).
