If you really want to be a good reviewer, then you should be in possession of a somewhat firm backbone, and not write to please the crowds, but to give your honest opinion, scathing as it may sometimes have to be.

I’ve gotten plenty of useful stuff over time from the Giveaway site and have a link to it on my own. But I don’t rely upon someone else’s opinion. If I can figure out how to turn on my computer and get my web browser, then I should be capable enough to download a piece of software that *might* interest me and see how it works. Each software has its own learning curve, and if a person only gives a piece of software 15 minutes to figure it out then they should probably stick to downloading and playing around with web browsers. Adobe would have sunk years ago if we all had gotten discouraged in the first 15 minutes.

On a final note, Stephen, if one comment leaves such a sting, I think as a reviewer you should ask yourself if you’re really being as objective as a true reviewer should be. While you’re not answerable to me, if you do this as a service, maybe the community would be better served and your growth as a writer would be enhanced if you took a honest look at the matter.

Happy 2008 to everyone.

What I DON’T LIKE is having to read through 50 post of who agrees or disagrees with someone’s post. White Rabbit is secure with himself and doesn’t need everyone’s support to build his ego, he already knows his comments are valuable to others. So, everyone PLEASE, let’s keep the post to this site strictly to the games themselves so others can review pro’s and con’s of the game and not have to waste our time skimming through all the rest of the crap that has nothing to do with the game. Thank you!!
