The Reviews/interviews Thread

Nice thanks! Did fine reader work for you? It didn't let me scan the pics, idk why. Which version are you using?

I used verion 10. Used the open command on the toolbar on the top, deselected the non-tekst areas, added Russian to languages, right clicked on text, did a scan and it worked quite well Google translator still sucks tho

Oh OK thx, mine is the previous version, 9.0. I guess that explains it.

yeah that review didnt' sound all too positive. What's the 95% suppose to mean then. The % of the game that's done?

It might be. The name of the paragraph with 95% is: Будем ждать? - Let's wait?

Yup, готовности means "readiness".

This isn't a review or anything but I guess its a pdate on promo work. I recenlty just watched ufc 109. AVP was the sole sponsor material in the broadcast. Every fight it was mentioned, between fights it was mentioned. Footage of the game was also shown. Also, when the main event came aroun Bruce Buffer (announcer) announced it to the 16,000 + crowd. GREAT promo work done by SEGA. Spreading the word.

The guy who reviewed over at GI, looks like he's never seen any of the movies before. He complains about stuff that's from the movie like the radar tracker & the Predator being stealthy!!!

[dude63]

^ Don't forget aliens being able to crawl on walls!

It should be mandatory that game reviewers who are reviewing games based on licenses have a knowledge of the source material.

It "should" be. However it seems they thought giving it to the Driving sim guy was a good thing!

[newbeing]

Well to be fair any tom, dick or joe should be able to pick up this game and enjoy it without previous knowledge of the films. I'm suspecting that those who are in love with the licenses will enjoy this game, while those who do not might like certain aspects, but won't dig it as a whole. Who knows.

[dude63]

^ Very true. However as a journalist you would think they would have some knowledge oft he source material before handling the review. Complaining about subtle things that are in the movies and in previous games is retarded in itself. If it was a regular joe then fine so be it. However, as a journalist and the medium at whci hGI is..its very unprofessional.

[First Blood]

Usually in the beginning of the GI book, it gives a rundown of the reviewers and there speciality games. Does anyone know what types of games it mentions this guy plays?

[dude63]

Not to take anthing away from the guy. However, I wouldn't be surprised if his specialty was Music games.

I guess Ben does'nt do too many reviews for GameInformer, the only one that was in the December issue was for Star Wars: Battlefront Elite Squadron...
