I have been using this site now for about 3 or so years. It has been awesome. I can pick and choose the information I want to read and converse with people who enjoy games as much as I do.
One major problem of the last six months or so have been the submission of random x, y, or z reviews. I mean how many different reviews does a person have to read to form an opinion about a game. Personally I would rather play it myself than take some of these people's word for it. This past week I have seen at least 10 reviews of Army of Two. The crazy review I saw was
http://www.n4g.com/News-124447.aspx.
It is understandable with the different releases dates reviews will come out at different times. The constant barrage of reviews is getting kind of ridiculous since people are now submitting blogs that provide reviews. I don't know what the standard is for submitting reviews, but I believe the bar should be raised.
This is a minor complaint. It has been a great enjoyment to see this site develop over the past couple of years. The changes have been great<genius move on the open zone>, but the influx of reviews needs to be corrected.

Resident Evil Requiem is a confident, gorgeous-looking and genuinely scary romp that expertly balances its horror and action elements into one compelling, hair-raising package. Grace is one of the best new characters the series has introduced to date, and a perfect complement to veteran zombie slayer Leon. As the series celebrates its 30th anniversary, Resident Evil Requiem sees the franchise at its strongest in years.
Capcom's survival horror games run great and look awesome on Nintendo's next-gen machine
The file size of Nintendo and Omega Force's upcoming upcoming life simulator, Pokemon Pokopia, has been revealed.
the contest is based on submission. So as long as there is something related to gaming and technology it will get approved. That goes for unknown sites reviewing games.
that clutter up pages. I don't give a crap about a mobile game being reviewed. I don't even know anyone who follows mobile games and/or PC games. Stop posting them so much. Its getting old.
Although I take reviews with a grain of salt, reading between the lines over many reviews does give me a pretty accurate description of how I would actually feel while playing the game. Reading for 30 minutes is usually better than blowing 60 bucks imo.
... and the more concentrated these reviews are(pro and fan), say on N4G, means less time I have to search for them over the internet.
Usually the best place to go always is the gamesite's own forums, incase anyone thinks IGN is the center of the universe.
I don't care what "Surfer Girl" thinks of Halo 3. I care what Gametrailers thinks of it. I care what GameSpot thinks of it. I do not care what "Ultra Games OK GO online" has to say about it. I don't know those writers, neither do I want to.
I would also have liked to not having to scroll through fan-made "news". That's an other thing entirely, though. Not a big issue either.
Great site other than that, though.
