Your Thoughts on Renegade Reviewers? (A 10$ Reviewing DVD)

[Janus233]

It's basically a dvd that consists of the "apparantly" most well known reviewers on the web. It has like 8 reviews, and costs $10+Shipping to buy.

Personally, I think its pretty ridiculous that a bunch of guys are putting together exclusive reviews that are of the same quality of the stuff you can find on youtube. A review is also just someone formulating their own opinion on a game, something that literally anyone can do. So what makes these people any better? There are thousands of user reviews for free online, which destroys their argument of all professional reviewers being biased (which is sort of BS as well). They offer news on games that have already come out (LOTR:Conquest), when you can just go to the top gaming sites to get info on games that wont be out for a while. I also find it weird how some of these games are worth almost as much as the DVD, making me rather trust the major gaming sites' reviews just to save money from buying this DVD.

Hey, if they can get people to shell out $10 plus S&H for their opinions on games, more power to them. I'll vote with my wallet, though- a nice, money-saving "nay".

Yea, that's what makes these guys special.

It's a stupid idea that will lose them money, which is what they deserve for trying make money off of content that should be free. Aside from that, that guy's voice makes me want to slap him upside the head until he cries.

Because if they convince someone to buy that crap, then they deserve the money.

There was once a man who put an add in the newspaper saying "You have 30 days to send me one dollar", followed by his address. Each following day, he'd get a new add published counting down the days ("You have 29 days to send me one dollar", "You have 28 days..."). By the time the countdown finished, he'd recieved tens of thousands of dollars.

This DVD reminds me of that incident...

 

[More Fun To Compute]

These must be the most metal reviews ever.
