The issues game reviewer’s faces are writing a decent and compelling entry. Trying not to fall into the usual garbage category of writing game reviews, they have to separate themselves from the Youtube and amateur reviews.
What I love about reviews if that fact that for me it completes the whole gaming industry, the infinite resources, the floods of information, which back in the day was hard to come by, even though we had magazines back then they just weren’t enough.
Everything is moving toward digital distribution, just like the gaming reviews, and surprisingly, kind of, people are sheep so having a scoring system for games do influence our decisions, even me sometimes. That fact that people conform to other PEOPLES opinions so much that it would change their own; people tend to forget that reviewers are just people, not higher beings of some sort.
This is going to be a short entry by the way.
Umm NGJ, I think this is really interesting and not that surprising as well, its just one of the many gaming industry evolutions, who ever thought you could produce an in depth piece of writing based on games, of all things.
This new trend is good and dangerous because of people, for instance, a game that is fundamentally rubbish could appear good based on a fixed review, which would make people purchase it, and the cycle of madness begins.
My own style of writing I would like to think is interesting to read and different from everyone else’s for multiple reasons, the main one being I wrote it and there is only one raspberry on the cherry tree !
