I Was Ripped OFF!

Well, that is why I Subscribe to CGW and no other pretender. I have never seen an instance of a review being slanted in CGW in over 5 years. Oh, reviewers are slanted, but I am pretty good with knowing this and taking it into account. I suppose this comes from about 10 years of uninterrupted subscription of CGW.

I trust Bruce Geryk as the main man for strategy reviews at CGW. If he says a game is good, then it is. Of course, he and I have the same taste in games, as I well know from long experience. But still...

In fact, when Bruce said all strategy gamers needed to go and buy Dom 2 at once, I obeyed his orders immediately. Good thing too.

I have made the mistake of buying games on a whim that sounded good (so and so gave it five stars!!!) only to find it a lousy game and then CGW subsequently gave it 2 stars or less in a review. I have truly learned my lesson on this.
