"Reviews"

So I'm looking for something to claim as my extra GAD prize up to £25 pounds and I look around this site at some reviews by users.

Most of them are either 10/10 or 9/10 and no lower then 8/10. Rarely do I see a game below 7. If I did find one rated that i would read that instead of the higher rating ones as I want an honest opinion on the game and it's bad and good points.

By reading these reviews every game comes across as perfect.

So what have I got out of looking at others reviews on this site? Not much at all.

Now if any of you would care to make some reccomendations I would be very happy. Gamecube, PS2, PC, Gameboy Advance.

And no Grix, unfortunatly 'Skies Of Arcadia' is more then £25.

Actually I saw Mr Mosquito quite recently and it was £20 or £25. So if you want it, it might be worth contacting SR and seeing what they say about it. :-)

i tend to usually write reveiws for crap games anyway, because i find it more fun to bring out somethings bad points rather than good.

Kiiiiiiiiil Your Parents...

When writing reviews I try to be as honest as possible and hightlight the good and bad points of a movie/game etc. so that anyone reading can make an informed decision as to what they want.

Rating something out of 10 really doesnt work, as how do you fix a number to it, I think 7 out of ten is good, wheras others may percieve it as being an average score.

It may be better if you were able to choose instead of 1 through ten either, terrible, bad, average, good or excellent. It is a more accurate representation and everyones scores are more constant.

Alternately a table could be shown saying:
1 or 2=Terrible
3 or 4=Bad
5 or 6=Average
7 or 8=Good
9 or 10=Excellent.

That way future review scores will be more accurate, but current review score could be kept and used.

actually gta 3 for the pc is about one quid more than £25

If you haven't got GT3 for PS2 then get it...you should already dam well have it..:D
anyway the reason most give games good reviews is because people inly write reviews about games they like....so if they like it they give it a high score...i think any way....and remember..GT3

I beg to differ, take a look at Jurassic Park 3: The DNA Factor on GBA...

Ask sr if you can use it as a voucher so you have £25 off the next game oyu buy from them that way you can get the game you really want and only for about a tenner.

It's shame SR don't sell it, because I'm willing to try it.

I don't think it would be in the £20 - £25 region though.

I'm thinking of getting GTA 3, though I already have it just because of the MP3 feature...
