Reviewers often miss out / fail to report on important aspects of games in their reviews. Local Co-op is a big plus for me and a major factor in a game purchase...I just got burned by COD:WAW with its terrible design decisions applied to split-screen mode in the local co-op (it's unplayable even on a 38" screen.)
I've read a lot of reviews of the game and nobody mentioned this aspect whatsoever.
I haven't seen one review of Left4Dead that mentions its great guest option for online splitscreen (two players on-line with just one gamertag). Features like this elevate games from try-to-buy for me and rarely if ever get a mention in reviews.
I guess my point is that a lot of reviewers fail to give an accurate description of what a product offers to consumers in their reviews.
GTA4 and Far Cry 2 have made me extremely wary of game-reviews and taught me to take 'em all with a pinch of salt...
I suggest the Fanboys do the same.
Relic breakoff Smoking Gun Interactive explains its ambitious graphic novel and ARG project, all built to serve its still to be revealed new console IP.
If games and movies don't develop some mutual respect, all we can expect are films that are really bad action games and games that are really bad films, says Steven Poole.
