I've never paid any attention to their video game reviews. However, I'm a big music fan, and over the years I formed the opinion that I doubt they even listen to the albums they review. In fact, I think there was a controversy a couple years back about one review being factually inaccurate. I don't know if the same staff does music/video games though.

Edit:  I remember now...it was someone who actually wrote for the magazine who admitted he wrote reviews without listening to the whole album... (again, may not be related to the video game "staff").

 

 yeah,i bet everyone who subscribes to them pays little attention to the game reviews section. : )

So all the SONY fans will gather in a koombayah circle-jerk in a thread when KZ2 gets a 99/100 from some site that no one has ever heard of before, but then Maxim (at least I've heard of this one, those Mgean Fox pics were GOOD) comes out and rates it down and they start whining? GG


In before the inevitable 10 pages of damage control!

 

Edit: By the time I actually wrote this out and posted it the QQers already got in..... I think we need a sociologist in here to study these behaviors....

You have to realize that you can replace SONY and KZ2 with any of the three companies and game on their console about to be released or was released. It was the same for GTA4, Halo 3, Gears 2, Mario Galaxy, etc.

 

 

No.... I really can't. The only other game that had this kind of hype surrounding it was MGS4, and even that pales in comaprison to KZ2.

wtf? im sorry but you have to have had cotton in your ears for the last few years than.

If I remember correctly Gear's hype came with the chant "Chain Saw, Chain Saw"

Gears 2 was dubbed the return of the chainsaw

Zelda:TP was declared better than OoT.

Halo was somehow hailed as the best shooter in existance.

I could go on.

I'm sorry but if you haven;t noticed any of this than I think you dont understand what hype is.

 

That might all be true (I never heard the TP one), but none of those games were hyped to be the second coming of Christ. (Third, rather. LPB was the second coming.)

Some fanboys truly believe that Killzone will end the 360. Visit n4g.com and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Its called the hype for any game. If its not one game killing another it isnt hype. Oh, Gears 3 will kill the PS3. The conduit will kill HD gaming. Its all BS things fanboys on all consoles say. If you arent a fanboy than you logically will say this game might be better than whats offered over there but even if it isnt, it will be fun.

You're absolutely right. I'm also not a fanboy because I don't flip out if a game I'm anticipating gets an "average" review score.
