MicWazowski couldn't agree more for the money and time side of things since the recent layoffs and trips to the shops, however, the down-loadable and playable previews should help with that as long as they give a good preview to play. and yes english is english so reading the reviews is a good way to get subjective advise "The one true benefit from game sites is that they help to show you all the different games that are out there and introduce them to you."
I remember when i had my super nintendo many many years ago and there were no reviews for me to go on. i never bought any mags or went on the terribly slow internet at that time, i just went to the shop looked at the game and if i liked the look of it i bought it. while i read the reviews on many sites the one who has the final say is me. why should i go out and buy a game just because someone said it kicked ass or gave it a number from 1 to 10??
The one true benefit from game sites is that they help to show you all the different games that are out there and introduce them to you. these days just about every game store lets you take back the game and swap it for another game if you didn't like it. so again i ask why do we need to buy a game that someone tells us is a 7, 8 or 10? buy doing this we restrict ourselves from games that might be great to play.
