Quote:Hmm.. I happen to think that GameSpot have some of the most well written reviews on the web. It's certainly much easier to read through their reviews than the dribble that comes from IGN.
And I love when Kasavin reviews a massively hyped game, you just know he's going to rip it to shreds.
I agree 100%. Gamespot definitely has some of the best written and most informative reviews there are. OB1 just prefers ones that just have the highlights and a bunch of review scores becuase I guess "reading" the "reviews" to get "information" that tells you in "words" instead of numbers whether you would like the game or not is too hard for him...
OB1, your later posts prove it. SCORE IS NOT EVERYTHING! That review is a four page review. Not a two digit number, a four page review. No one should be determining how much they like the game on the number. It should be based on what counts -- the review text itsself and what it says about the game. Until you understand that I guess you should stick with EGM... but Gamespot is definitely better.
Read the four paragraphs I posted. It's a quite good overview of the single player game and as any good review should do while saying the reviewer's opinion it gives you all the details you need to know how your opinion would differ from theirs. Like, I certainly doubt I'd be saying things like that about the game, but by reading it I can easily tell what I would expect from it and how much I would like that...
