Path of the corrupt ones...... Task 5

I’m not a fan of games magazines because they do not reflect the needs of the people today, they have a certain amount of appeal to today society but they.

I find that the games world is to large in to days society and this is where the problem is because the writers are going on ratings and there own opinions and this also clouds there judgement in weighting which is good and bad.

writers for games magazines work in the company and the profit of the magazine pays for them, but they also get paid to give a game a more positive out look to try to increase sales
of that game because a lot of people will trust games magazines to give an honest opinion this doesn’t mean that the game is not worthy of that grade but it can be altered to improve it out look.

The ranking system in games is necessary but it is done so inaccurately that it is not worth paying attention to unless it not a main stream game, because these games are the ones that maybe only one or two people have played and when one of these games comes in to light they give an accurate opinion about because they found it after the release date.

I don't like new games journalism because the information in it is limited and the reference pictures are ones that show the finest quality of the game and can make the game seem that its something that’s its not. This is why I use the site www.gametrailers.com to look at new or old games because you get to see how the game actually is and not a couple of re-rendered images.
