Reviews have been a part of gaming culture for a while, but game journalism may have some trouble-spots. Can we really rate games the same way we would a movie or a car, when each person has such a different experience when playing them? Skill level and choices made in the game can lead players down different paths, and thus different views on the experience. Plus, what's important when rating a game? Resolution? Difficulty? Experience? So can we ever really trust reviews?! Watch the episode and find out!
