So why don't reviews work? (as a marketing tool)

[QUOTE="trancejeremy, post: 3942952, member: 924"] Yeah, KoDT definitely, and all hard copy publications (which I think is just KoDT these days). But I was really thinking more of internet reviews when I first posed my question (since I was thinking of how Gamespot fired that guy). There does seem to be a difference in how internet RPG sites operate than VG ones. For instance, pretty much anyone can submit a review for RPG sites. Some do have staff reviewers, but there is never any "official" review, really. They just get lumped into the same category as non-staff reviews, usually. And RPG.net, I dunno if they actually hand out stuff. At one time I think they did, and had a place you could sign up for them, but I never actually got anything (And I have written something like 130 reviews there). And Gaming Report, they have a hit counter and honestly, I dunno if anyone even reads their reviews. Some of theirs top at out 200 or so. Heck, my old geocities site reached those levels at times.
