The essentials?

What is a game to you? Is it the awesome two-hander you just looted from som space insect on steroids? Or is it the tension of the Bioshock dystopia?
For me, its a mix of both.
I always sit down and try to analyze the rights and wrongs (subjectively ofc) after finishing a game. (Or gaining new levels etc), and i often end up finding more wrongs than rights somehow.
Why is that? Sometimes i wonder why "they" even bothered making the game, when they could see from miles away what a piece of crap it was turning into, i mean, some games seem more like 2006 prototypes of 2010 games.
I think this is sort of a universal gaming rule, for every 1 great game, theres 200 really crappy ones, you just gotta filter them. But then again, that's why i created this blog, because major sites like I*N and others have people on payroll reviewing games, with the games being advertised like hell right above the review.
This makes me doubt the quality of the review, is this game really a 9/10, or is it a 6/10 made into a 9/10 by the reviewer, because their company gets a $$$$$ sponsor agreement. Who knows, but i sure as hell know that when i see the reviewer give a game 8/10, and 1000 gamers rate it 6.5/10, and this repeats in several cases, i start doubting the review all in all. Then the review loses its entire point, by misguiding us gamers into thinking that "wow, this is an awesome game", when in reality, the game is just below average.


I want YOUR game reviews! Send me your best and worst game reviews, and maybe your review will be "the review of the week"?
