And that's nothing compared to the epic backlash against a Gamestop reviewer who gave the Wii version of
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess an 8.8. To this day, if you Google "8.8", it's the second result - just above
one of the largest earthquakes in recorded history, and just below the
TV Tropes page named after the fiasco. It's hard to find any evidence of it on Gamespot anymore, but there are plenty of write-ups about it around the internet.
(It's worth noting that it wasn't just the 8.8 that caused the ruckus - the fact that the same reviewer gave the GameCube version an 8.9 a few weeks later while simultaneously saying that he recommended the Wii version certainly didn't help matters.)
