The one time NP fails me

[Fabioisonfire]

NP is still alright, but most of their reviews are biased. Anything with 'Mario' in the name gets an 8 automatically, while anything Pokemon gets the same. >_> I <3 most of the Pokemon games, but GI rated Rescue Team like, a 3, and NP gave it a 6 or something.. >_>

C'mon. It's not that bad. I enjoyed Rescue Team very much. NP gives decent scores! ....It's nice to get a variety of opinions. Some magazines may hate pokemon, some love it. And it's NINTENDO Power. What do you honestly expect?

 

[Fabioisonfire]

Well, GI doesn't hate Nintendo or PKMN at all; they are just as excited about the Wii as you and me. It's just NP HAS to give all of Nintendo's games over a 5 because they are affiliated with the company. They should become independent.

That's why I don't get NP. They're biased. I don't get any magazines, but I read my friend's EGM.

 

[Jeremy]

Official magazines usually do that a little. But it's really not that much.

 

[Propaganda Man]

Yah right. I have seen plenty of ratings under 5.

Also, wouldn't you want to know what the good games are instead of the bad ones?

PMD was a good game. That is a fact.

 

[Tennis=Life]

PMD deserves like a 7.5 or higher, I'm being nice to the people who hate the game.

While NP is biased occasionally, remember their Geist review? A Nintendo-made game that received a 5.0 out of 10.

I don't even care what those idiots think... why should i judge how much I will enjoy a game based on what some 35-year-old FPS addict says?

There is no such thing as Unbias media.

 

[Fabioisonfire]

That's the thing though. I read these things so I know whether a game blows or not, and what do I get? We need some sort of user review thingie in these magazines, and a poll.

I don't exactly take time out of my life to remember their reviews, but they give games with franchises a good rating. Take Mario, Pokemon, etc. for instance.
