Re: Soapbox: Why Websites Don’t Need to Give a Game a Review Score (and Probably Shouldn’t)

I like the review scores here on the site, and elsewhere. For the most part your guys review of a game means almost nothing to me. I'm only looking for a reinforcement of my own gut feeling for a game. I usually won't even read the actual review. It's only when a game I want scores low, or a game I thought was going to be worthless scores high, that I actually read the review. And this is very valuable to me. While it hasn't stopped me from getting a game, it has helped me set my expectations. And it has caused me to buy more great games that I would have passed on originally.
