Poll Does young attractive woman reviewing games effect your opinion? (72 votes)

Yes 33%
No 67%

This is a dark side I don't like to admit, however my friends, it is true... whenever I see a young beautiful 20 something girl in a tight top review a game, I automatically disregard it as credible. I assume they are a casual console gamer who have never played proper pc games. A good example is Rev3's review of "call of duty: Ghosts"

From the like bar as well it seems I am not the only one who has adopted this attitude, that she is mainly up there to act as something eye catching to increase traffic. Much like how IGN (and gamespot with Jane Douglas) attempted to show woman off as objects in promo pictures.

How feels you about this my friends? Is this a terrible attitude or something that is actually a fairly good attitude to adopt when weeding out fluff from non fluff?

I think in general gamers and reviewers have changed. It's more big business. It's like football to me. They take all the violence out of it it's like why are these guys getting paid millions of dollars. Gaming is no different to me these days. It's a bunch of people posing as nerds and gamers because there is money in it and it's now the cool thing to do.

Being a nerd is now a fad.

I believe she is the same person from Rev3Games who rated Knack what Adam rated Killzone - both 3/5.

If they clearly show that they don't play games and people used them to bring in young male traffic then yeah ot bothers me

If they're a proper reviewer like this girl or tara then no it doesn't phase me

It actually makes the review less credible to me.

Nah because most of the so called ''girl reviewers'' are pretty much all middle aged trannys. The only legit hot girl in the gaming world is that blonde presenter from IGN forgot what her name was.

Yes.

It actually makes me wanna buy the game more when an attractive person, man or female, is reviewing or advertising it.

Anybody whose opinion is affected by the reviewer being an attractive woman should be embarrassed. Same thing applies to those who fawn over Jessie McDonald in the GS News video comment sections.

Jess Mcdonell.

Really? People find this hot?

On accent alone hell yes...

It does wether you believe it does or not. Subconsciously straight males will relate beautiful woman with extreme pleasure. Every motivation in life can be broken down by either avoiding pain or gaining pleasure.

No reviewer's opinion has ever changed my views of a game, beautiful or other-wise.

A t-shirt worn under a cardigan(?). Oh yeah, she's totally trying to seduce viewers for hits.

Haha! Talk about an overreaction.

I am, but I say no because these girls are below average.
