...reviews but I would like to add a little more as I feel that there is still a substantial amount of work that still needs to be done on fixing the current make up of video game assessment. The Reviewing Vs Critiquing Framework For a long time this has been (and no surprises here, still remains) the crux of my argument for improving game...

COLUMN: 'Game Mag Weaseling': Down With Print-Mag Reviews

2008-03-09 00:00:53 by Kevin Gifford in GameSetWatch
...reviews in video-game magazines. That's because, in my opinion, traditional reviews in game magazines should go to the same place that cheat and strategy-guide pages went -- i.e., somewhere where I don't have to pay money for them That's something I've found doubly true for EGM's reviews section. A three-reviewer system had its advantages...

reviews vs trailers

2008-03-13 00:01:00 by Aaron Miller in Anyway Games
 
...reviews have ever been as influential as developers make them out to be. The fact that good reviews correlate with good sales doesn't mean good reviews cause good sales. I think it's more likely that consumers can spy a good game on their own through screenshots, FAQs, trailers, and (most importantly) speaking with gamers and salespeople ...

...reviews of Alone in the Dark. Which obviously is a bad idea, because the negative backlash for suing them is going to hurt them more than the positive effect of getting somebody to retract a bad review. And far more people will now be aware of that game having bad reviews than if the bad reviews would just have been allowed to stand But of...

...reviews pretty simply. So that gives a good idea of the spread and basic tenor of the reviews And I think the claim that core game reviewers are 'missing the boat' is not the point we were going for. We were saying, rather, that for the first time that we can recall in the history of video game reviewing, those playing games no longer agree...

...reviews will be coming very soon. I am just trying to figure out the best way to go about doing the reviews. I feel that you guys get tired of just written reviews, so I want to spice things up.
