    OUCH! I wanted that game so bad and also Rouge Warrior (or something like that), but I ALWAYS look at reviews.

    Its a must that I look at reviews, I don't want to waste my money.

    A's Creed 1
    Godfather 2

    im so let down about alpha protocol....it looked like it would be the most epic game but the IGN review jus killed it to a million pieces

    forget checkin for reviews,i only buy games after they have been out for at least a month so i can read user reviews/forum comments and wait for patches

    im still on the fence about New Vegas

    iuno fam i never pay attention to reviews, i gotta go on my own. a lot of ppl were against games like Armored Core for example but to me its one of the best games ive ever played, lots of reviews say GTA & FF13 is GOAT but to me theyre both one of the WORST games ive ever played (& yes ive played and own every FF). to answer thread tho maybe KOF12, or The Bouncer.

    sign in on PS3 and play me in vanilla sf4

    Legends Of Wrestlemania. Not that I hated the game, it got better once I got adjusted to the controls, I just wouldn't have paid full price for it had I known it was average at best. It's pretty hard to get burned these days when most games have demos.

    What was that game for the Wii where you could shoot and use a samurai sword? I forgot what it's name was but it came out early for the Wii. That game had me highly upset because I just knew with the Wii technology and a SWORD game that joint would be rididic

    EDIT: Nvm it was Red Steel. That ish had me with the screwface

    sometimes u cant take what a review of the game says for truth.. most of the time they are biased and opinionated.. cause i played that game "the darkness" and i loved it.. and the reviews where not so great on it... and i still havent played AC because of what reviews say.. but actually normal people say that assassin's creed goes hard.

    interestingly enough, the developers of that game were DMA, who later changed their studio name to Rockstar North...yeah...that Rockstar...and hasn't made a ? game since *smh
