Quoted from DCfoodfreak:I am a big fan of context. I give more attention the comments than just the numbers anyway.
Yep. See below.
Quoted from Mike_J:I don't believe in reviews.
Whether it be pertaining to cars, movies, stores or pinball machines, I ignore most all.
Also agree. However, there is one situation where a good review can be useful. When I'm offered a game I've never played for a great price, I always check pinballreviews.com. The reviews there are written by good players and don't hold back. If they don't give a game at least one thumb up, I won't buy it. Period. I don't read any other reviews.
While I don't write formal reviews for games myself, I won't hesitate to give folks my opinions of games in forums like this. Ask me about any game I've played and I'll tell you everything* I know about it, good or bad.
