The Best Video Game Reviews On The Web
 |
Video game companies are expert at whipping gamers into a frenzy with pre release marketing. These eager fans camp for days in front of major electronics stores to buy the first systems. They place advance orders months ahead of time. They even spend huge sums of cash to buy new game consoles on auctions. Is the manufacturer's advertising a reliable source for video game reviews?
Have you ever been to a movie where you've already seen the best parts, because those scenes were in the movie trailer? Manufacturers' video game reviews can be like that. You might find that the best part of the game is the one you saw on the TV commercial. When you see an interesting game commercial, find a more objective source of video game reviews to help you with your decision.
Gaming and elcectronic conventions are fantastic places for gamers. Video game reviews and demonstrations of cutting-edge software and hardware are showcased. The booths and demos are run by salespersons. Their job is to increase the excitement level over their products. They only show you what they want you to see, but it is a fun experience.
Oftentimes a game developer's website will have game reviews. Start with Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo. Often there are forums and chat rooms devoted to the developer's products. Remember who owns the website, though. It is possible that negative video game reviews are not tolerated and will be removed. If you can't find video game reviews with at least a few negative comments, continue your search.
The best place for unbiased video game reviews are on fan forum websites. These contain the latest video game news, including the most recent Nintendo, Xbox, and PlayStation offerings. Discussions can include anything from a hand-held game of hearts to full military campaigns. These third-party forums probably contain the most comprehensive video game reviews.
Find a friend who has the game you want, and go play it. Ask your friend to walk you through the game. Get your friend's video game reviews on what he or she likes and dislikes about the game. If you can't find a friend, the local computer store probably has a game demonstration running. If nobody is waiting to play, maybe the game isn't as fun as you hoped. Watch other players and see where they have trouble. Spend time playing the game yourself, learning the controller and moves. There's no substitute for first-hand video game reviews.
Take video game reviews with a pinch of salt unless you know the source well. Movie critics offer their movie reviews because customers don't want to waste their money. Be a smart video game shopper and take the same precautions with reliable video game reviews.
