Well I subscribe to two magazines right now and I have my gripes about both. Nintendo Power is the first one and I'm starting to not like it anymore because they keep forgetting to send me issues and the writers are just plain boring IMO. Back when they weren't owned by Future US, I never had these problems.

The other magazine I subscribe to is Gamepro. Gamepro is ok, but they make a lot of errors about games coming to platforms.

i HATE game informer! they're so predictable, so unopinionated. Edge is where its at, with their very in-depth writing and open-minded intellectualism, and the Play journalists are the only ones that seem honest most of the time, not to mention they know how to find something to like in every game.

Game Informer is so unopinionated? Isn't a good thing? I thought objectivity in journalism is good.

not when you give impressions and write reviews. they like what's popular. unlike Play, you won't see very unique opinions. Play journalist don't usually agree with the common opinion, and their mag is very different from the rest.

Personally, I want objective reviews. I want the game reviewed as the game itself stands. Not whether the reviewer liked it or not. I just want the facts and the information on the game, gameplay, story. I can determine for myself if I like the game; I don't really care if the reviewer liked the game. But that's me.

this is why Far Cry 2, Assassin's Creed, and Spore got good reviews. the reviewer noted that everything was well-done, but they overlooked that "soul" that gamers look for.

There is no such thing as an "objective review". Reviews are inherently subjective, and that's that. If you want to know about the game, read the press release.

I too liked GameInformer. I don't get them anymore though. It got to the point I would skim through them in a couple minutes and never touch them again.
