Is being a game reviewer good?

I've thinking about it...what do you think? a blessing or a curse?

I'd really like to get all those games for free...but I think its a bad job, I dont why but I get the idea that most reviewers dont get the chance to enjoy the game, they are forced to beat it before a deadline AND then write the review.

its specially bad for long games...I kind of pity the guy who had to review skyrim, he must have really missed out A LOT of things to beat it fast in order to get the review before the deadline.

and not to mention the ****storm they get when the crowd doesnt agree with the review (ie mcshea and skyward sword)

i'd rather not have games feel like work to me. would ruin the experience.ChikaraShref

I've always wanted to be a games reviewer, I love writing, and I love playing games. I can quite happily spend hours on any game aswell, good or bad. I tend not to mark games as downright bad either, just not to my taste (unless they have glaring bugs that completely ruin the experiance)

I did some reiviewing for a small site a year or two ago. Its a bit of both. Its great in some ways, but as much as you try to still enjoy it, it turns a very fun hobby into a job. Which automaticlly removes some of the fun.

What kind of question is that? It's a job. If someone didn't want to be a game reviewer they could easily find a different job.vashkey

I don't think game reviewers always beat a game before reviewing it. In some cases it would take too much time (some Final Fantasy games) or possibly be too difficult for the reviewer (100% completion on Super Meat Boy). I don't think you need to complete a game to get a good impression of it anyway, as long as you're most of the way through.aquaglow

Anyway is it good yeah of course... you got a bunch of people on the internet mad who cares..

Though I hate reviewers who go out of their way to look for specific flaws with a game

Im a game reviewer and all i do .,,awpo is bang hot chicks grewg ewgf3 all dayjks

Sorry for my bad grammar but its hard to type with 3 chicks all over you

Even games that they are not reviewing it would be hard to just sit back and enjoy it because they would still be critiquing it in their head.CanYouDiglt
