[QUOTE="Welverin, post: 2165727, member: 433"] I mostly stick to Gamespot and EGM, if I want more opinions I'll check out Gamefaqs.com or Gamerankings.com, but typically I know what I'll be interested in well before it's release so it's really just a matter of make sure it doesn't suck and I don't need to many reviews to figure that out. Only the best! I wouldn't say they're all that bad, but I'm an old PC gamer so my tolerance is high (I remember having to switch disks!). I didn't do too much, I was a bit fried when I got home and Veronica Mars was going to be on soon, but it may not come up too often. This is one nice thing about God of War, so long as you're going forward and not backtracking there are no load times. As for Gamespot pointing such things out, I think that's a mark of a good review, telling you what's there so you can decide for yourself whehter or not it meets your standards. It's what I like about Psion's reviews. It's also why people need to [B]read[/B] reviews and not just look at the numerical score. After finishing MGS3 I'd have to say while it was entertaining while I played it, looking back it's not a great game, solid, but that's about all. I really don't think it deserved the [URL=http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/914828.asp]high scores[/URL] it got, Gamespot probably came the closest. I'm really beginning to believe games in popular series get higher scores simply for be a sequel to popular and successful series. Speaking of BG&E, you really need to finish it. Of course that just may make you long for more, in which case maybe you shouldn't because at least that way you'll have something to look forward to. To be fair, everyone seems to have been fooled by that one. From what I gathered early on the game seemed to be really good, but once they got farther into it just didn't live up to the promise, much less the hype. Which makes it a good example of why it's best to finish a game before reviewing it. [/QUOTE]
