By contrast, the big game companies are aggressive in getting their products under the eyes of magazine editors and reviewers. They don't have to buy advertising to do this. They only have to enthuse a few people about their game. I've known sober editors in my day who turned into little kids upon being shown playable demos of some games. Finally, stating that magazines do or don't do reviews on the basis of bribes is both harsh, and the kind of accusation that screams for proof when it's made. If you have proof, state it. If you don't, maybe you ought to consider how that kind of unsubstantiated accusation reflects upon you before making it. [/b][/quote] the "proof" i need is when terrible games get 9/10 ratings. ive seen magazine slate a game that wasnt terrible, because they had arguments with the game company over previous things (amiga power and team 17 springs to mind) frankly, i dont need to PROVE anything related to my opinion to you or anyone else. if you dont like it, thats not my problem. |

Revolution is supposed to be making Beneath A Steel Sky 2 at the moment.
Out of those ones though, I'm going to have to say that Vampyre Story looks coolest. It's going to be a retail game though, right? I just hope it makes it to the UK. |

A claim of bribery is more serious. You or I could be accused on occasion of thoughtlessness or poor organization. Probably true, too, over any decent lifetime. But accusing either of us of bribery is an allegation of a very specific act, unlike generalized thoughtlessness. It's easy to fling around, especially on the Web, where people often talk trash without having a single fact to back it up. But in order for our opinions to be worth something, they have to deal with at least a semblance of facts. If they don't, they cheapen us, not their intended targets. |

When I first joined GameBanshee, a new member wanted his review of Baldur's Gate 2 judged. He treated it as though RPGs were a new phenomenon, and said the first ever made was Diablo. :blink: With reviews like that, I'm afraid less is more. |

Well, I used to get Computer Gaming World.........I have a stack of 2 or 3 years worth at my parent's house from the mid or late 90s I think. The best one was their list of the 100 greatest computer games -- whether I agreed or not wasn't the point; I just love looking at lists. But yeah, I only use IGN.com now because there's no reason to buy a paper magazine when I can get constantly updated information from the Internet.
EDIT: Also, I wouldn't even call Diablo an RPG. It's really just a third person action game. |
