Re: AV Podcast : Movies and Games Edition : November 8th Edition

Is it just me or can I only download a tiny bit of this and then it cuts off?

Re: AV Podcast : Movies and Games Edition : November 8th Edition

Not too pleased with the fairness of the BF2142 review. Seth admits its not his type of game - then surely it should not have been reviewed at all really unless the reviewer had some liking / experience of this type of game. It's actually a stunning and absorbing title - with a rare 'persistence' mode which makes it all the more addictive. I appreciate you guys do your best (!) - just think that if review titles are not the reviewers bag then its not going to be viewed objectively.

I actually think the complete opposite. If you give a reviewer something they like, then the review will not be balanced and it will score highly.
I like FPS games, I don't like games that revolve around PvP and I scored it fairly by stating upfront that if you DID like BF2, then it would be worthy of a 7/10 (it's not really a huge leap IMO from BF2). If you are like me and prefer a proper PvE type game with storyline, then it's a 4/10.

You assume I have no experience of this type of game - I've been a gamer for the last 27 years and have played virtually every FPS on most formats (hell, I've got a 3DO and a Jaguar somewhere!). I, as I reiterated, prefer my FPS to have a story - I don't particularly like games which are purely PvP.
