Well, surely not all of our reviews went through serious search, but you can't expect that even from the professionals. Sometimes they simply don't put enough time to play a game and it may get unfair review. The professionals should be like serious people but it's not a guarantee of a work properly done. On the other hand, "amateurs" (like us) are not meant to be "serious". However, you can see critical approach in many of our reviews, despite of the certain fact that some reviews are really not like that. However, there is also a plus in fan review. It may give you childhood memories, but it also gives you enough time to play the game and get to know it more closely, as well as to judge the game on the long run.

Those are the serious positive facts IMO. Don't know would it be of any use in that discussion at moby's.

thinking that `paid` are more `professional` reviews is kind of a terrible approach

Life goes on, but I believe we'll forever carry the pain on the inside.

Hm, so this discussion about abandonia at mobys is finished and definite right? Damn... Oh well, there must be some other things in life that make it worth living :rolleyes:

A review cannot be objective, it is subjective, by definition. Who's objective, professional movie critics? Don't make me laugh. Anyway it's their policy, so they must think it's a good idea.
