Why Gamespot...!!!

Hello, I got many comments on my last blog that said that I shoudn't depend on Gamespot's reviews or scores or even any single website out there. Okay I respect all of your opinions and your right, I shouldn't depend on only a score that a website gave for videogame. Its the fact that usually demos help me decide if a game is worth my time and money. But when it comes to the point "should I buy it or not", here comes Gamespot to the rescue.

I am not familiar with other websites, but Gamespot gives me the chance to see other critics scores and players reviews. All these elements help me decide if a game should be in my collection or not. Most of the time critics scores and Gamespot's score are really close and it becomes easy to decide and some times they differ a lot and it gives no choice to go back and depend on GS score.

I know that its better if someone depended on his own taste when selecting games, but for a person like me who loves to play all types of games I have to be selective or I will buy every single game out there and here comes GS. I trust this website and trust all of GS reviewers. The bottom line is that these guys do this for a living, these guys are experts and know about this subject more than me and more than most of the people here.

I am not saying that you should follow GS scores or reviews, I am just defending myself and explaining why I depend on there review and trust them.

I know that there are some games out there that were over or under rated, but most of the time score look reasonable. One last thing that I have to mention is that players reviews play a crucial rule in deciding which game is over or under rated. For example I only bought Borderlands because of the players reviews.

I am sure that most of you don't agree with me on my selection system, please tell me if you do or not and why. It has been a great joy to see your comments last week, especially the ones who disagreed with me, I learned alot from you guys thanx.

Fortunately, I am getting better and I got started on beating games again. I hope I can reach full recovery next week. Thank you for reading and please don't forget to comment.
