News Exclusive game reviews ethically troubling?

i watch yahtzee's review for comic value, but im easier to please then him. I quite enjoyed the witcher and think that at some point ill probably give it a replay.

 

I agree with Fritz all the way on this one, and moreover, I'm surprised I didn't realize this hypocrisy myself.

 

the idea of reviews being bought is definitely troubling. It's so hard to know, and reviews are so subjective for a lot of reasons, so I generally check out several reviews on multiple sites to see if there's any disparity. Also, I often take the word of my friends who've actually played a game over published reviews.

 

If you don't review the games favorably then on the next big release you'll be left with no game to review.

 

Denial is a sad thing in a grown man. I challenge you to put it to a vote.
