I must say, lately I have been happily surprised, .... that some of the recent reviews have been poised around the game and what it has to offer concerning playability and entertainment. Rather than focusing on comparing it to a game that was alike. The review stood out for its informative overview of the game itself.

Those reviews have the hint of glories past for the quality of the review. Sharing the good the bad and the ugly of a game without personal bias allows for the reader to get a good oversight of the game itself. It doesn't poison the reader with a reviewer's personal bias. Thus allowing the reader to decide based on the overall game play on whether he or she will invest in the game.

Companies that invest the money developing the game should be given the opportunity to deliver based on the overall playability and quality of the release. It will either make or break their reputation. If a company releases a bomb or a good to great game, it is those that actually play it that make up their investment and allows for another release to be offered by that company.

Codemaster in my opinion is one of those companies that failed to deliver on a much hyped game by they themselves, "Turning Point Fall of Liberty" ring a bell…… but for me redeemed themselves with the release…"The Rise of the Argonauts." I am waiting to play "Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising" and hope that it will be what the hype from their camp has been leading us to believe it is…….or is not.

I will read the players reviews to help me with that purchase. To me this is the key, all the post by those who post their personal review of the game during and after they have played it is a wealth of information. Kudos to you all who buy and play the games, I appreciate your input. You guys and gals are the reviews that most hardcore gamers look for. Keep up the good input and continue to play on.

Thank you Gamespot for allowing your patrons to continue to contribute their wealthy advice about a games good bad and ugly side. Most readers appreciate this as I do.
