Originally I wanted to use my blog to provide who ever reads it a small amount of entertainment of my mad (lack) skills in gaming. However my last post was a rant, a rant about the exclusiveness of certain titles. I gave my point in that so I will not share it here. So I wanted to recap the past few weeks of gaming since my last post. However, I notice that some folks out there are just being really asinine about things.

So a few weeks before a game is release reviews usually creep up and are published or posted. And a lot of people including the developers have high hopes for a game, but it seems that some fans of series take offense to a review when it doesn't reflect what they feel is the correct review. And of course someone will post a thread going I can't believe that XXX game received 8 when this totally inferior and totally genre unrelated game YYY received a 10. Yes, I have been disappointed with some reviews on game I personally like. But we have to remember this is one person's opinion. I know reporters are supposed to be unbiased and report just the facts. Well I believe that we all put some sort of personal biased in anything we do. Yet, we have people complaining about how the person was looking for all the negatives in XXX game. It is quite possible. But come on, do you think that if a game gets a 8 instead of a 10 a person will be like well I want to get this game. Oh wait it only got an 8, so I think I will buy the one that received a 10 even though it's not even the same type of game. Come on people, if you believe that a reviewer is going to sway my decision on if I am going to buy a game or not, you would be wrong.

I believe if you really want to play a game, then you will try it regardless of the reviews. I have picked up games that received 9 and 10's and did not enjoy them. But picked up a 5 once and enjoyed it a lot. So let's stop being petty about stupid things such as review scores, buy or rent the game and judge the game yourself. Then you can put up your own review. Until you play the game how can you say that the game is golden or if it's a pile of trash? Until then you are just speculating on the overall game. I'm pretty sure most know what I am talking about, while others think I'm full of it. Well it's your opinion and you are entitled to it.
