Game Reviews

Looking at many different game reviews provides me with a insight into how it all works. Im going to speak about the pros n cons of gaming reviews and the reviwers today.

I have looked at many links and bascially the story is the games dont really get properly reviewed and there are faulse accusations laid throughout the gaming industry!
Basically most realesed magazines have a deadline to where they have to meet! This don't give enough time to actually review the whole game so really they just make points either true or false.
Personally i dont read reviews of games as i think there just complete and utter Bull****. If i was a game reviwer i would look at both the bad and good points which i would give my true opinion! Not to be big headed but i think i would be an awesome reviewer if i had time to play the whole game for at least a month then basically say what i like/dislike about the game. However, there is not enough time to produce a honest view making 100% true statements about the game.
I think a game review is very important and how it ranks in the industry to proudce vast amounts of sale! Yes, i would say ratings from magazines do influence people to buy the game or not, but for me and propberly many others we try the game out like on a demo then buy the game. Many others though, teens roughly 14-16 i would say game reviews have an influence on them as ive been through it myself, reading magazines and thinking this game looks the shizz but when i actually played it was awful . To be perfectly honest it all comes down to personal opinion and past gaming experiences.
New games journalism, to be quite frank' i dont really care. If you are a gamer you decide whether you like the game or not! Not no one else! I think the game reviewers should really take pride and time to write an honest review on a game and as for the sales i think would vastly increase.
There are many forms of game writing found, some of those for popular gaming magazines is the most obvious one, there are also sites where a group of people can discuss the ups and downs of a game in a chat room or blog post. There are people who write reviews on games on yahoo from a variety of ages, one i looked at was only 12 and talking about need for speed yet had very could points, and the gaming industry could take into account.
My own writing on a review is both objectively and subjectively, i feel i write about the game as a whole not more bad points then good points. Also yet to be respectful of the gaming industry and the time taken to create the game. Im fair and honest when writing a review and if i wanted to make a fact i would research it and provide evidence to support it.
