| Veknoid_Outcast said: I can share my perspective, which is that of a video game reviewer who also consumes a lot of reviews.
I want to be educated. I want to be entertained. Whether through clever language, humor, or even sarcasm, I expect a reviewer to use his/her vocabulary and wit to wrap a review in entertaining prose. Anyone can list multiplayer modes and recapitulate a story; a good critic has more tools in his/her tool belt. I want to be treated with honesty. Reviewers should be honest with themselves and their audience. They should be consistent in their review criteria and independent of publisher/advertiser interference.
This is what I try to achieve in my writing, and what I expect from others. |
SInce you are more in the review world than I am how often would you say your last criteria is met? I mean aren't all the companies in bed the bloggers and reviewers these days?
Also, which places do you feel meet your criteria in general?
