Reviews? Pshhhhhh.....!

So reviews. Erm.. erm... erm.... erm..... yeah I don't know! In all my life I have hardly read reviews. If I bought a Playstation Magazine from WHSmith, then yeah why not read the reviews, but I never intentionally go out and find them! Even if it's something from Amazon and someone is talking about the game, I’d never read it! What a bore! I either play them or I don't. Yeah sometimes I go out and buy games that I have never heard before and it could be REALLY good or REALLY shit! But isn't that the fun of it! A review from one man can not decide your answer to “is this game good”. It's one guy, or it's 5 guys or it's 10 guys or maybe even 100! At the end of the day games are meant to be played by the person and only then can they decide whether it's good! Admittedly if ALL reviews have said the game is pretty poor then yeah why waste money but if some say it's good and others bad and more say it's okay and some say “yeah its really good, apart from this, this and this”. So its not good?!

In all honesty I am not a fan of reviews, I genuinely don't care! Some big games like CoD and Medal of Honour and Halo are all reviewed by big companies! Some companies like EA or Activision pay people to write a review about their game! Is it fair? I doubt it! If you're getting paid to review a game wouldn't you obviously right a good review to get good money? I just don't understand the biased opinions about it! Some people are really biased! Such as “Oh Call of Duty is shit because I like Halo”. Right and have you ever played “Call of Duty”, “Nope, never played Call of Duty because it looks so bad”. I mean seriously! I've had people say that to me and it really really pees me off! If I was to write a game review it'd be fairly judged! I wouldn't put it into competition with another game, if it looked or felt like another game I’d say that! Not just say “yeah this is amazing, love cod” only because your getting paid by Activision or Treyarch to say that! Bullshit! I really have no love for reviews but when I read a review I enjoy reading the ones from the Playstation Magazine! They judge them fairly evenly and they play games with a passion and review with a passion. They get paid to do their job which is play and review. They don't get paid to write a good review about a game they either have never played or don't care about!

Reviews are biased and stupid. I'm not a fan, sometimes I enjoy the humour from the reviewers in the Playstation magazine. But apart from that.. Nahhhhh!
