Personally when I review I give my personal impression of the game (even if I get crucified for it ala Dante's Inferno) and whether or not I think you should buy it. Essentially, I go through my experience as if I were trying to persuade or dissuade a friend who's contemplating a purchase.
If you're not into written reviews at all though you can't beat watching some unbiased, comment-free gameplay footage on YouTube.
I like that RPS writes up what they think of the game but don't assign any numbers to it.
Yeah, I also like how Kotaku does it by only giving the game a "Should you play this game?" verdict.Quote:

GameInformer - 8.50
Eurogamer - 8.0
EDGE - 7
IGN - 4
Thing is we should be able to look at that and see nothing wrong. People should be able to like and dislike a game, as long as their reasons are valid then I don't see a problem.Quote:

Also if a game truely is a paradigm shifting, groundbreaking gaming experience then why can't a reviewer give it full marks?
I would like to read some old magazine reviews again, just for interest sake.
