The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
a) very few opinions
or b) very few moneys.
Magazines are there to guide you. If someone says a game is mediocre and points out a number of negative points, such as repetetiveness and blandness, then I can't argue with that, can I?
These reviews aren't just scores, you know, they are actual texts that contain information about the game, with an opinion formulated at the end.
The things pointed out in the review (the bad points), limit my desire to buy the game. I could play the game, but that's what the magazine is for, it eliminates the need for me to go out and play every game, just so I know which ones are good and which are bad.
aha.
Good riddance.

Yeah, but that's like saying "How do we know nuclear war is a bad thing? Perhaps we should try it and it might turn out to be really good."
I wrote it off as crap well before NGC said it was.
Oh, and how does slating a multi-format game make me a fanboy?
Oh and while you're at it, how about you deal with your hypocracy.
Only you, and other gimps like Stryke, slate everyone who doesn't think The Matrix is the best film ever. And here you are exclaiming your annoyance at people who judge a game without owning it. I doubt if you'd noticed, but both actions are remarkably similar.
You're my idol.
I want to suck your big hairy man boobs.

well duh. What do you expect.
And the blind, incessant sarcastic comments from people like WhiteStripes are the reason that Nintendo fans are generally viewed on the whole as red-faced fanboys and are laughed at and mocked with big pointy sticks. And the reason I'll stay out of this forum from now on too, I'm sure I won't be missed.

what whitestripes sed about movie tie ins was the same point...that the only good ones are goldeneye and aladdin...therefore that matrix is crap...this coupled with the quote from the magazine and the quite poor percentage shows that the magazine's opinion played a part in the overall feeling of crapness towards the game
And the movie tie in statement is
a) a different point
and b) true
