N4G Criticism Of IGN’s Greg Miller Dead Space 2 Review/Review

I have to tell you that I found N4G’s article’s about IGN’s Greg Miller amusing and spot on. N4G made some good points about the article that Miller wrote, and setting aside all the the literary mistakes, a review should be just that, a review. Reviews should not give the game away. Reviews should be an honest opinion of game play, and how well the format of the game worked for the reviewer. That said, I question what motivated N4G to publish the bashing in the first place. Certainly, the motivation was clearly not to make Mr. Miller a better writer, as N4G does not want to make the competition better. Was the intention to…

Dead Space 2 The Movie/Game Review

Yesterday I promised to complete my review of Dead Space 2, and here it is.

DC Universe Online Subscription Fee Represents Good Value For Money

Sony Online Entertainment spokesperson Ryan Peters has been talking to the video game website Eurogamer about the recently released Playstation 3 subscription based MMO; DC Universe Online and in particular was keen to point out that in his opinion, the monthly subscription fees (£9.99) to play DC Universe Online represent good value for money… “Certainly we want people to feel they are getting the value to that subscription. We understand we’re asking a lot and the equation I always give to people is that it’s similar to DLC – if you were getting DLC from Red Dead Redemption every month, I’d probably sign up for that because I buy every piece of DLC they throw…
