This would get that writer cancelled instantaneously today.

All reviews were like that up until like 2005 or so.
90’s gaming magazines were fucking great.

I've been watching a ton of old X-play episodes to for this feel.

nigger, anime games get shat on as a standard unless they’re “iconic” so reviewers overcompensate by fellating them endlessly because they need to show they’re real gamers and in the know about dragon quest and final fantasy and shit

I remember when Bong mags were amazing. Back when PC Gamer had Kieron Gillian and shit. Back when they had balls and didn't just follow the same shit. With funny jokes and shit. I used to subscribe, for like a decade. But they did a re-review of Postal 2 and it wasn't even a review, but just the writer complaining that it was problematic and that's when I didn't renew, even though I liked stuff to read and stuff.

UK gaming magazines really were amazing. I keep getting advertised subscriptions for PC gamer, retro gamer and edge. But I know it won't be the same.

John Morgan
I do, but they’re not for filthy anglo eyes

You can read them on the internet archive. But not Nintendo Power though because they sued

I tossed out my Game Informer stuff a long time ago, but I should have chucked them sooner when they gave Skyward Sword a 10. I only made it to Faron Woods before the boredom completely overtook me and I gave it away to a friend. That was the first disconnect between reviews and reality that I experienced.
The earliest magazines I had were from 2004, when Nintendo Power was dumping accolades on this spooky and bloody game I never heard of that creeped me out called Resident Evil 4. I wondered why such a harsh and violent looking game was so honored in a magazine as bright and bouncy as Nintendo Power. I was 7. I found out much later they were absolutely right.
