| johnlucas said: Advice to Sony fans from a Nintendo fan: Never take reviews as gospel. The game journalism business is corrupt and a lot of payola goes on to hype up or hype down certain games. Sometimes they're legit but even if they are, all a review is is one person's opinion on a game. That opinion may not be yours. Don't get sucked by the tyranny of their numbers. Check the game's concept and test it out for yourself. Use a review as a guide to purchase never a mandate. They rated Wii Play low and that's one of the funnest games in my Wii library. In the end, MY review is the only one that counts. You all should feel the same. YOUR review is the only one that counts. John Lucas |
"Use a review as a guide to purchase never a mandate." Very well put.
That's why I like to base some purchases/rentals/time of/on games on the written part of reviews. The IGN review is fairly elaborate and never left me wondering. Scores are just different these days. I remember a 7/10 was a good score back in the PS1 days, now 7 is a "meh" score to the majority...
