"Computer magazines should we listen?"

Computer magazines should we listen well no because we should be able to decide which games we should like our selves and not be told by so called experts! They still have good points but not many. well i rember a gmae called Rigde Racer 1,2,3 and 4 the magazines said that they were bad but many people i know liked it and a few wrote into the magazines complaining about the bad reveiws.By the way i never owned a playstation.and with the gamecug game Lugi's mansion all the magazines said it was the best but me and other people thought it was rubbish and what about xbox's game Halo one of my friends own an xbox and said it was rubbish! why did people buy Lugi's mansion and Halo and most people ignore Ridge Racer 1,2,3 and 4? i will tell you why because the computer magazines told us and they have the power to do that so i say read with care because they have their veiw but you veiw is much more impotant.

good you took the initiave and bought a game that YOU thought was good and you got a good deal right on brother!!

But i am saying that she loved it before she loved the reveiw and even though she loved it she would just not play it even though she loved it!

she actually said she would keep it if it was a good game, but the mag editors disliked, but she said she would probably not enjoy a low mark game, being it crappy.

I got Quake 2 for the N64 before I read the review in NGC but playing it I knew it was a good game and I wasn't surprised when they gave it 90%. At £15, I wouldn't be too bothered what they gave it.

I still say read magazine reviews because if you read the reviews then you won;t have to come on here starting stupid topics like, 'what game should i get?'

I read the magazine check it out to see if i like like the look of it then i buy it and if i dont buy it i bring it back say somtines wrong with it an d swop for another game.

ibut say you loved that game so much and you played it 24/7 you would just disown it in a second! shame shame on you!

These people do this for a living, so I think they know what they're talking about. You don't buy a game without reading a review, do you?

I would keep it obviously, but its unlikely i would enjoy a game that had such a low score.

P.s My name is Cookie monster, monkey ball master is my Profession. ;)

To Monkey Ball Master. They do provide good insights into games but let me ask you one thing if you got a game for christmas and you thought it was a brillant game but then you found out it got 40 percent in a magzine wuold you disown it or would you keep own plying it?

Good grammer. Anyway the reviews provide an insightful and (often) unbiased look into the games finer and poorer points. I find videogames magazines a valuable tool in looking where to spend my cash.
