Why the 'Oh Snap!' review emblem is pointless.

Gamespot reviews are tagged with emblems that describe some of a game's shortcomings or advantages. One of the emblems is the 'Oh Snap!' emblem which means that a part in the reviewed game made the reviewer go 'Oh snap!'. This is pointless. Think about what I am about to say. This basically means there is a part where you say 'Wow! That's pretty cool.' There is at least one of these in almost EVERY game. Most decent reviews WILL have this emblem. Emblems are pointless if 95 percent of games will get the emblem.

The emblem isnt just for having a plot twist or a cool cutscene. It's something that makes you stop playing and just enjoy how crazy that moment was. First exampl that comes to mind is the ending of Braid.

I won't go as far as saying it's pointless, but I noticed it's been handed out very frequently, meaning GS editors are easily snapped :lol:Black_Knight_00
