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.

Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
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.
