Topic: Which gaming publication has the most accurate reviews?

Well some games I played that have gottin Great reviews are the ones I regret getting.
I'm sure some of you have run in to that kind of problem before.

Its a Great game, but you just didn't like it, but it had great review from meny sites, and that what made you get it was because of all those reviews.
but in the end it turn out not to be your type of game.

Who ever can support their opinion of the score with facts wins for me.

GameTrailers has some really good reviews. The Screwattack section has some pretty cool retro bring-back videos every 3 days, and the site always has new and funny videos.

I think Nintendo Life and Gamespot give pretty accurate reviews. Metacritic is also good if you are looking for a more balanced or overall score. The only thing I don't like about Gamespot is they tend to focus on the graphics too much sometimes. For example, I thought they were being picky with the graphics in their Metriod Other M review, everyone knows the wii has less graphic capabilities then the xbox 360 and ps3 so there is no use to pick on a game for hardware limitations rather then software limitations...

NONE OF THEM.

The thing with Gamespot is that they're inconsistent. And they tend to place a lot of weight on little things that don't necessarily matter. Like you said, with their Other M review they talked a lot about the blurry textures. Now, since I haven't played the game I can't exactly say whether or not the blurry textures genuinely effect the over-all enjoyment of the experience, but given Gamespot's track record, I'm guessing it doesn't.

This execpt for NL.

The other thing that bugs me about some gaming review sites such as gamespot, is the way they review the graphics of a game. In my opinion, there should be two parts to a score on graphics one from a technical perspective and one from a gameplay perspective. Back to Metriod Other M, from a technical perspective, yes the graphics are not perfect and could have been better if they were on a better system however, from a gameplay perspective(or at least what I've seen in trailers and videos), the graphics supplement the game perfectly even though they are not high-def, they have a lot of detail and add to the game's atmosphere. Also, graphics should not be weighed the same for every game, for example, graphics matter a lot in a fps game but not in a puzzle game.

Which ones are the most accurate?

The ones I agree with the most, duh.

I repeat my earlier question I posed to Otaku to you, WaveBoy - do you actually read Famitsu, or are you just guessing that the reviews are accurate based on the score they give the game.

Because I do read Famitsu, and the reviews are not that great.
