    Default Proof that game reviews mean nothing!

    Go to gamerankings.com. The site shows a list of all the reviews a game has recieved and averages them out. Out of these games very few of the rankings fit what I think they deserve. Dead to Rights, which is a game I happen to love, is at 75%. Jet Set Radio Future, a game that I despise, is at 90%; so is Madden, so is Timesplitters 2, which I think is terribly overrated. The only games that I agree with are NFL 2k3 and Halo. SegaGT, Hitman 2, Blinx, etc. etc. are underrated to me. It's all about what you think, and I have given up on reviews altogether, so that I don't buy a crap game or miss a good one.


    Own:
    Halo, NBA 2K3, NFL 2K3, Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance, Splinter Cell, FIFA World Cup 2002, Tony Hawk 2x, Dead to Rights, Sega GT/JSRF, Two Towers
    Sold:
    Max Payne, Morrowind, NFL Fever 2002, NHL Hitz 2002, Unreal Championship, NBA 2K2, Project Gotham Racing, Enclave, Hunter: The Reckoning, JSFR, Amped
    Want:
    BC, Blinx, Breed, Brute Force, Deus Ex II, Doom III, Fable, Halo 2, Loose Cannon, Mafia, Ninja Gaiden, Perfect Dark 0, Star Wars: KOTOR, Star Wars Jedi Outcast, True Crime, GTA 3x(wishful thining, but I wanna own it). 2003 is gonna be the year of the XBOX!
    Hate:
    Unreal Championship, Project Gotham Racing, NFL Fever, NBA Inside Drive, WWF Raw, JSRF, SSX Tricky, Madden, NBA Live, Enclave, Bruce Lee, Smashing Drive, Medal of Honor: Frontline, Metal Gear Solid Substance, Prisoner of War, more to come...

    Your thread means nothing.

    Gamerankings.com has its opinions, whether they're the same as yours or not. It's not proof as to whether we should or should not listen to reviews.
    The older a person gets, the less they care what they wear. Old people come up with some of the strangest clothing combinations you'll ever see. I think of it as "cancer of the clothing."

    <i>MEC's Rules Of Gaming Reviews:
    1. Reviews are the opinion of the reviewer.
    2. Everyone is into different games/genres.
    3. Find a reviewer with similar favorite games, and use their reviews as guidelines.
    4. If you like a particular genre, and a game in that genre gets an 80%, odds are you will enjoy it.
    5. Do not judge until you have played.
    6. Just because you do not like it does not mean it sucks.
    7. RENT FIRST. Buy Later. </i>



    If you follow these rules, there is a 99.9% chance a "Kabuki Warriors" won't end up on your shelf*

    You dont need proof...some whackjob's opinion is no better than anyone else's, people just fail to realize that.
