Don't know how many times I have read an assessment of an up and coming game and the author has thrown the game to the wolves and said it is rubbish. I am not sure how anyone can judge a game firstly that they have not played and secondly that hasn't even been finished yet. A lot of the time they have not even seen screen shots and are just commenting off of a press release. Who cares if it is a sequel and the first one was no good. Maybe the development company has learnt from their mistakes or it was the first time on that platform and they have ironed out some flaws. It just bugs me that people can recommend or not a game that is still in development and sight unseen. The only thing I find worse than this is a released game that has been reviewed by someone who obviously has not played it. They pick up on the vibe from the big sites and run with that. I will not review a game until I have played it to death or go as far as I can until bored and in that case I would review it as boring.

Playing games to death to review them will mean reviews will take longer to get written.
But I suppose if people want great reviews they're gonna have to wait.
Keep up the good work!
