It's funny with this game called
Kane & Lynch: Dead Men because I really don't know what to think of it, judging merely from seeing the trailers and reading reviews. Some say it's a really good thrilling action game with some flaws you can actually live with and others say it's one of worst NextGen-games of the year. But am I really listening to the right people? I mean,
I wouldn't describe a pile of shit as the shit it is if I wanted to sell a hundred million units of it, right? And the advertising of this game seems to be huge, measured from online banners and gamesite backgrounds. I guess I have to play a demo of it to really decide whether I like it or not.
[...](show me)(don't show me)
But there are other things I don't quite understand: there's this guy, Jeff Gerstmann, a reviewer of GameSpot - or rather a former reviewer - who reviewed the game and rated it bad which seemed to got him fired. How can this be? Why do we live in a world where the rich people tell us consumers what to like and what not? Where bad reviews of maybe bad games are not "acceptable"? I feel very bad for this.
This somehow reminds me of Assassin's Creed which was highly advertised, too, although I don't like the game so far as I played. Okay, I didn't get very far yet but still I don't like certain aspects of the game. Like holding three buttons/sticks to run or spending a lot of time holding the X button to get past guards. I thought this was a tiny feature but it's as if I'll have to do just this for the half of the game. Well, let's wait and see. # top # Labels: video, videogame news
