Hi everyone. I'm pitching an article to a magazine about the state of games reviews, are they relevant, how have things changed e.t.c. and wondered if anyone here had any views and opinions they might like to share on the subject. Perhaps you feel that games reviews hold a great deal of power over the sales performance of a game, or perhaps you feel the opposite. Have games reviews evolved to keep up with the ever changing industry? or are they antiquated and pointless. Just some things for you to consider. Feel free to be as brutal as you like but remember that you may be quoted so if you'd rather not be then don't post(or simply state in your post that you'd like to remain anonymous). So go for it.
