CGReview Changed and Back Up
CGReview Changed and Back Up
You may remember a few weeks ago when a website called CGReviews.com released a review of Grand Theft Auto IV, this which upset most people as they were giving fake information or information on an early build, but was pulled down by I assume Rockstar Games. This website has now been put back up and has been corrected.
This is what he said on the website :
Because my first review was based on early builds of this game, many readers were outraged at the 'negative' aspects of my review, even though I posted a notice that the review may not reflect actual gameplay.
I work hard to find ways to post reviews about hyped games. This is why I post only one review at a time. I don't work for a large magazine, so I don't care too much about my reputation. I don't get paid to write reviews, so it's not like I could lose my job. I don't sell advertising, so it's not like I'm making money by generating traffic to this pathetic excuse for a website. I write reviews to share information. I hope to entertain readers, and I enjoy doing what I do.
My last review was received even more negatively than my 'Gears of War' review. It sparked some pretty terrible conversation across the web. There were a lot of charges that the review was 'fake' or 'biased'. I guess this type of thing happens when you cross those of us that love our Xbox 360s. You will, however, be excited to hear that the final build of GTA4 is 'perfect' on both consoles...and I'm not just saying that because it's in the NDA.
I'm leaving my original review intact so that I can edit where needed. The 'issues' have mostly been resolved, but I want you to realize how much work has gone into the game in the last two months.
