Is anyone even reading reviews?

[serotonin]

The only reason I'm playing this game is because of a review I read. Would have never heard of it, otherwise.

Game Informer is a major magazine with a larger reader-base (they're GameStop's partner), and it gave Amnesia a freaking 93/100. You people scoffing at the integrity of reviews are being foolishly preemptive in your defense-mechanism as apparent fanboys of Frictional.

Amnesia is a superior product to the occasional stumbles Frictional had with the Penumbra trilogy, and for the most part critics are noting it accordingly... and that's a great thing. You really want to cheer on Frictional? Then hope their games continue to get 80+ aggregate scores on Metacritic, because that's what will continue moving them up in the world.


(as for spoilers in reviews... well, just don't read reviews from no-name indy websites with writers of questionable professional merit... the major game media sites don't make those kinds of mistakes, because they actually employ editors who double-check the writers' articles for exactly that sort of thing)
