I took all my games out of their boxes and keep them in a CD book.  It kind of looks like this: 
 

You love Disney stuff but have no Infinity reviews? Outrage?! Even I have Infinity toys lying around and I don't love Disney that much. 

I read the game was available on PSN or something. Half-life 1 I think?

I mean the review is truthful in that the reviewer honestly hated it and made his point about why. A lot of comments came from people who only barely played the game, true. I plan on playing the game as well regardless of that review. But this is my main point, that this game was heavly inflated and then shot down. It feels like it's being done deliberately for attention some times. I'm not completely against gaming sites. I just try to avoid from time to time. I liked Joystiq.com review better. They gave it like a 9 or something. http://www.joystiq.com/2014/10/03/alien-isolation-review-escape-claws/

This is more along the lines of what I was talking about. I feel like I can make a more informed decision from gamers experience rather than game critics. A few sites that I follow really don't like Lord of the Rings at all. Not the films or novels, so they were down on this game from the get go. It turns out that the LOTRO connection doesn't play into the game too much and it's just a fun game. Same with Hyrule Warriors. I listen to a Nintendo podcast and they were pretty down on the Dynasty Warriors game but then loved the new Zelda game? They spent months convincing me that this game would be garbage without ever playing it only to change their minds after trying it. I thought Smash Bros was fine in the 3DS demo. I would love to play it on the big screen as well.

I'm with you. I feel like my time is better spent watching playthroughs and interacting with gamers in chat.  

The only bad thing about more Twin Peaks is the long wait. 2016? God dammit! I'm glad it is a continuation of the show and not a reboot or re-imagining or whatever. There's rumors that old cast members might return! 

I don't agree with you entirely. While there are a lot of idiots on forums, not all forums are the same. USGamer writers tend to carry the discussion for their articles into their forums/comments section which are usually civil. As well as Joystiq. There are thoughtful posters every now and again. Even on IGN there is a bit of controversy over their low score for Alien:Isolation, and while a lot of commentors disagree with the low score, they are making their case without being too dicky about it. 

Out of curiousity, what do you think about the comments on IGN regarding Alien:Isolation? It seems that the consensus on the game is to buy it?

I don't have a problem rockin' dat old skool. I am old skool. I'm just not sure that some of these games hold up as well as they once did. I don't mind trying old things for archeological purposes. 

It's from a collection of podcasts, forums and news sites which are mostly negative about everything that isn't AAA. But the podcasts and forums are from news sites as well. Nintendo games get a bad wrap in general. 

I've never actually played Half-Life 2. Am I missing out on something good?
