The *only* reviews I give any credence

Anyone else simply falls for the hype game companies put out or else fall into the "lemming" crowd of going along with what everyone else says.

i beg to differ. there are some people who actually *like* games most people consider bad, especially newcomers to genres and the like. For example, say someone who hadn't played civ2 bought ctp2. Theyd think it was a pretty cool game, if they like that style of play. Sure, it might lose its luster a lot faster than other games, but theyd still give it a good review.

I am one, who actually enjoyed ctp1 completetly unmodified for months before returning to civ2 and starcraft. ANd most people thought it was horrible!

i loved diablo. i have a level 74 assasin.

black and white i didn't get into.

on the other hand, i may go back to diablo, but i'm not currently playing it right now.

but i DID play civ2 until about 3 or 4 in the morning this morning. that damn "one more turn" syndrome. (i've got the greeks on a huge map on a huge continents, and none of the other civs are NEAR me, so i'm already freaking huge. i'll really dominate in this game. i've met the americans so far, that's in. i'm just about to enter the "industrial age" and it's still about 800bc. i figure i'll reach alpha centauri in the 1600 or 1700's in this game. (it's just a normal game, not OCC or early landing challenge game. )
