Good morning, everyone. I've been reading some user reviews and guess what I found out: Ppl aren't objective! :shock: Ok, no big surprise, but in my view if you make a review you should (just as GameSpot ;)) try to be pro. They use the GameSpot Rating System and so should you.

So, should your rating differ much from the GameSpot, Metacritic or at least average user rating, ask yourself if you're really objective. It's no help if you had the fun of your life with Backyard Wrestling and you very much recommend it and for everyone else it's just a pain in the ASS. I admit there are individual likes/dislikes and over/underrated games but only to a certain amount.

The LAST time (hopefully) I refer to my Ridge Racer Unbounded Review, as I know no one is reading this, but if you were you'd be already annoyed by it. I disliked it very much and thought 6.5 would feel ok for me. BUT 6.5 according to GS would need "significant problems" which are not there. So 6.5 is impossible. So if you rated it 9.0 (which I saw here) it should be "well suited to new players" (there are better, easier racing games to start with) and "naturally uncommon" (as uncommon as Call Of Duty) with "outstanding quality" (speaks for itself). He obviously never read that.:oops:

Be smart, stay critical.

Have a nice day. :)

It seems like my estimation on Unbounded sales was right. It's #413 in games on Amazon Germany and #2631 on Amazon USA which is without any doubt pretty bad for a quite new game. Ok, ok, it is not a difficult estimation but I made it just on the games' quality and not from a maketing point of view. I may be wrong but I think a real Ridge Racer would have sold much better ( - ok, much better is not difficult in this case^^). I mean you can copy and paste existing game mechanics as much as you want to but then you have to be quite as good with your game. This is not the case here and so it leaves me with delight to see this game stumble, ensuring there won't be any Unbounded 2. Beyond that the next Ridge Racer may be a real Ridge Racer again. I'd really like that. Unfortunately this may be a PS 4 starting title which means it'll take me some years to play it. I won't buy PS 4 at start, it will be overpriced I guess. I only bought PS 2 at start but it was damn worth it. :)

Have a nice day. :)

Hey there! After a loooong week of waiting my Everybody's Golf: World Tour aka Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds finally arrived. Have been craving this since I played the demo in December. It's quite hard to get here as it is old and rare. And I won't pay Amazon Germany 79,99 Euro for it - NEVER! This is 105.12$. Can you belive it?! Here you would probably say they PROBABLY HAVE THE ASS OPEN which means ARE THEY NUTS?! So I say thank you to eBay for selling it to a fair price. This swearing lesson is for free btw. ;)

Back to Everybody's Golf - Updating takes forever! Installation and Updating from 1.00 took me almost 2 hours so far, with multiple updates, restarts and broken downloads. Much worse than updating Gran Turismo. But, it will be worth it and I'm really looking forward to it. It's a relaxed way to have fun. I very much recommend giving it a try. Once again, F U C K Amazon Germany for squeezing out German gamers and have a nice day. :)

I found out, as I don't pay GameSpot, noone can read my review until I reach Level 3. That sucks! But more important, how do I get there? I already even replied to CharlieSpot. :P So help me if you can. Maybe not worth knowing: Evil Jared "The Bloodhound Butcher" Hasselhoff defeated Lars Riedl at Celebrity Boxing some minutes ago. Oo

I borrowed Ridge Racer Unbounded today and wrote my first review on it. Damn, it really disappointed me. But read it yourselves. I rated according to GameSpot's rating system. I personally would never recommend this game, especially on PS3.
