Forums - Gaming - First Review of Halo:ODST - 4/10

So above when I jokingly said

"Of course it is biased? They produced dozens, perhaps hundreds of non biased reviews just so that when they bring out their biased review of Halo:ODST then people will think it's non biased? Sounds likely"

It turns out that someone actually did believe this.

I didn't even read your post.



 

This is actually the second review right?

There have been no official reviews yet.



 

Perhaps you should have. The website has produced a decent series of reviews of games on many different platforms, without noticeable bias. The Halo review was the first by this particular author. It seems likely (to me at least) that the reviewer made a genuine attempt to review the game, but was let down by a lack of experience. Even if this one review is biased, that is not to say that the site itself is

Who are you trying to convince ..



 

Ugh. Just read all my posts above, and either believe me or don't. I don't really care what you think

Then stop bloody quoting me.



 

Infact, surely the only thing that could be described as an 'official review' would be if Bungie released a review :P

...and there never will be.   There is no such thing as an official review.

 

I presume you mean a review from a site like IGN or something but IGN isn't special, is just some random joe on the planet giving his opinion on a game, same as this guy.  Neither is more 'right' and certainly neither are 'official'.

You're right there is no real term for "official" I have mine own though (which you can probably already guess)
