Game Reviews




Ahh, the world of game reviews can be either, a) very informative, or b) very controversial, but most times they are a combination of the two put together.

As you all know, a review can make or break a game, but sometimes the reviewers are forced to abide by the publishers wishes on the game that they are reviewing. Take MGS4, Konami has given parameters to reviewers to abide by, or NDA's for short. With some NDS's being, not being able to talk about the 90 minute cut scenes, install times, opening cut scene, length of cut scenes and a bunch more. Heck, EGM refused to review MGS4 because of all the NDA's!

I for one am not binded by these NDA's, I buy all my games that I'm gonna review, I don't get them sent to me like the paid reviewers. I'm just your average "gamer next door," with a strong opinion on games. As you'll come to see, I'm going to offend many a fanboy with my reviews, but know that Its not intentional , its just MY opinion and mine only.
