At least it should have encouraged you to dig a little deeper, perhaps even connect with the developer (
as game review sites did when problems surfaced with the 360 version of Skyrim).

Hopefully the
game gets a second wind with this PC release
as the console release failed to set the world alight even though it received positive
reviews from most major
game -
sites.
Sure, it bagged plenty of positive
reviews but you'd be hard pressed to ever hear the
game mentioned, even on dedicated gaming
sites such
as our own.
2) XB fanatics trolling every
site and forum trying to prove this
game is «not AAA» 3) Even one of the
Reviewing sites start to back peddle and try and find excuses for their strange
reviews 4) This
game is even mentioned by a non
game publisher
as a «watershed» for the
games industry because of the graphics and playability Even a blind man with a stick can feel that something is going wrong here with the «reviewers».
Like always the actual price of this product won't affect the score the end of this
review too much, for two very distinct reasons: the first is that I get many of the
games and products that I
review on this
site for free, and this I am not the best person to be judging value
as I did not spend money on it, and second because I firmly believe that what I view
as a good value for money may not be what you view
as good value for money.
Reviews come with just a few quick words from the
site or magazine that are vague at best and rarely ever help you ascertain why your latest
game flopped, leaving you in the dark
as to what you might need to think about fixing for your next release, and that can be frustrating, especially if your company is on the verge of going bust and you really need to make your next
game sell but have no idea where to start — does it need to be a fraction more story - based, or perhaps you need to adjust the balance of graphics and sound.
Yes, it is my
site and
as such I don't have to publish something every day, and every publisher gets told that their
game will be
reviewed on my time.
Many people would argue that websites having to buy their own
games would be a good thing, but that's untrue for two reasons; the first is that small
sites, such
as myself, simply could not afford to do that, and second it would mean no
reviews for launch, so consumers would be blind except for what the publisher lets them see.
As a small
site I work quite hard to get PR companies to pay attention to me and thus get the
review code needed to fuel the
site,
games that I otherwise couldn't afford.
Mr Pumblechook, Just
as with some
review sites a perfect score is not meant to say the
game is perfect.

Everyone saying it isn't a good

And, for those who noted the unusual space before the colon in the title, I make a point of calling
games in the title of my

as a result, it kind of marred our first week of release and indie
sites being the first to
review these types of

This doesn't mean playsets aren't just
