The only review from Kikizo Ive read is one Nitro wrote, and I dont even remember what it was.  I dont like reading reviews, its a waste of time.  Id rather read a science journal or a book.  Gametrailers is where I go to make buying decisions, or to forums (mostly this one).  I can make a buying decision within 10 seconds.  Usually Ive made up my mind far before any reviews pop up.  I base my buying decisions on the specs of the game, not on how much a stranger enjoyed it.  Previews are more important than reviews. 

EDIT:fucking keyboard keeps switching to french, I get (è) every time I want an apostrophe.   Too drunk to fix the fucking thing.

Maybe you meant his splendid Tekken 6 article, but that was a hands-on not a review.

Yeah that was it but there's a difference?  Couldn't I say that  review is hands-on and a hands-on is a review?

A hands-on is an initial impression. I've found that my hands-on's and impressions usually have a more sensationalized tone. After I've sat through a game for a little while, I usually have a more moderate opinion of it (Battlefield Bad Company... I'm looking straight at you).

You'd better not complete it in less, or I'll feel like a right n00b ;)

Hands-on = preview of typically unfinished game, not a final judgement.

That's why you never see video game websites do reviews of games from shows like E3 and TGS, they're all hands-on impressions/previews. ;)

I've just read your Far Cry 2 MP Preview and you mention the Map Editor(a lot). I was wondering if you were able to put in AI opponents into the map and play it locally?

I can't do this with my preview version, but let me query Ubisoft...

The thoroughly decent Stefano Petrullo at Ubisoft just sent me this:

"Coming back to your question, the answer is, unfortunately no. The map editor has been buil to give maximum freedom and flexibility for creating multiplayer maps."

Trust me, though, there's plenty to do in the offline campaign :)

Okay... I thought it would have been a nice feature but it's going to be a great game anyway
