Which reviews are you sick of seeing?

[Hey Joe]

You know, lately I've been seeing the same names crop up on the review forum and I'm sick of it. People, let's stop reviewing Halo 3, Bioshock, GTA IV, Mass Effect and Morrowind/Oblivion.

Surely there are other games out there that we own that can be reviewed. I want to see a review for Barbie's Horse Adventures dammit!

So, which games are you sick of seeing reviewed over and over again? Also, why do people keep on reviewing these games? Surely people with a semblance of brain matter would see that it has been done to death!

There's your problem.

Everyone here has their weak moments, but idiots join just to talk about how great/crap halo etc is.

Probably Portal. No-one's going to say anything that hasn't been said before. Anyway, the only reviews either say that it's perfect (once again, been said before) or crap (by someone who hasn't actually played it).

That's my 2 cents.

Here's a tip

if you don't want to read a review about bioshock, don't read it.

every second review of mine has been a recent blockbuster, mainly because those are the games I'm playing... and typically, they don't get any responses, but I expect that.. but I'm still going to write them, because I love to write, and I love to play video games, so reviewing them is a natural extension..

If you want, after I write my Link to the Past review, I'll find some obscure SNES game that I'm sure you've never heard of and review that

I was going to review GTA4, cause I should be done that by the time I finish the LttP rewview, but it's already like 2 months behind the curve, another couple days won't hurt it

Name a snes game, any snes game (like Lucas in The Wizard, I have them all), I'll review it

Portal.

 

[BleachedBlind]

Portal and Soul Cal IV

The Orange Box. Yargh.

Im not really bothered by seeing reviews, I'd rather test the games myself

To be honest I dont trust them either:

Call of Jurarez (Empire gave 4 stars) - Hated it
Tenchu Z - Bad reviews all round - One of my favourite games

Oh btw Halo....nah Im not going to bother

There's usually a wave of review AFTER a new Zero Punctuation. ..
I would like to see more reviews of non-mainstream game. It would be original, different and I would have some new games to pick up.

I would like to see more original subjects. I mostly see a movie or a game review. Why not a book? Why not a concert? Why not a play? WHY NOT A CONCEPT????

I tried it last week with the Escapist, However I failed, because of grammar.

I tried that with music once [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/326.62976#541803], but failed due to lack of win. And interest.

I don't really read reviews. I don't care much for other peoples opinions when it comes to games. I find them to be a little too biased to take seriously. I am curious though what an independent review of Il-2 Sturmovik would look like.
