? I think the word you're looking for, in this context, is corrupt; unless you don't have the stones to call it what it is. This site's been accused of the same. It's a major problem when you have publications that are highly reliant for revenue on advertising the products they are reviewing. The reviews that are more likely to be a true reflection of the reviewer's opinion are those found in publications that rely very little, or none, on gaming industry advertising revenue, like general news websites that have a resident game reviewer. Like the Sydney Morning Herald. Doesn't mean their opinions are any good, but just less likely to have been bought |
Unfortunately, quite often the "resident gamer" either isn't a gamer at all or, since he's the only reviewer, has no interest at all in the genre he's reviewing, so the review is poorly written and unreliable.
