right? shit's awesome.

I may consider a 3DS at some point when the library is more fleshed out. Right now, it'd probably do what my DS Lite does. Nothing.

When was the last time a console was released and its launch lineup was good?

Who gives a fuck what the reviews say?

I got mine, and the 3D effect and augmented reality are fucking incredible. Better than any 3D I've ever seen at the movies for sure.

As for the games, the two that come built in (AR Games and FaceRaiders) are both awesome.

Rayman 3D is cool. I don't have Ridge Racer or Pilotwings yet, but I will by the end of the day.

Of course I did.

If you take professional reviews seriously, whether they're positive or negative, you're dumb.

Well I would hope that nobody takes them 100% seriously. But what I like to do is look at a lot of reviews for the one thing I'm after, look for what they have in common. If 8 people are all complaining about the same thing...then it is very likely that it is going to come up when I play it. It's an especially crucial step in deciding what to buy for someone like me...who is so sick of paying so much for games it is not even funny. All of my purchases must be made with education now.

For example, if Castlevania: Lords of Shadow had come out several years ago I probably would have bought it upon release without thinking about it. (It does say "Castlevania" on it after all) But after reading a bit on it and playing the demo before and upon it's release, I don't think it's worth that much since it is pretty much God of War. (And my feelings on God of War are less then favorable) I'll probably still get it, but I'll get it later...and have spent less on it then everyone else. Thanks to what I know about it thanks to all those reviews/demos.

I don't think anyone who reads game reviews is dumb. I think anyone who transplants Gamespot/GamePro/EGM/Game Informer/G4/IGN etc into their head and spouts it off as their own is. There is a difference between reading them and allowing them to control your buying habits.

1. The last few Sonic games actually got good reviews. Not that it matters, but yeah.

2. Professional sources have proven time and time again that they are not trustworthy. GameInformer is owned by Gamestop, IGN is owned by Fox News (and they are also in bed with Gamestop), GameTrailers is owned by MTV... Not to mention the Jeff Gerstmann scandal, the multiple times IGN has been busted reviewing games they didn't even get half way through, the Shenmue Gamespot review scandal, GamePro being caught directly plagiarizing other sources...

Also, EVERY SINGLE MAJOR REVIEW SOURCE is funded in part or in whole by game publishers. In what world is it okay for the people whose games you're reviewing to also be signing your checks? And have you seen some of those prize packs they get? Did you know Disney flies some game reviewers to Disney World? Did you know Activision gives way hundreds of dollars worth of prizes with every review copy of Call of Duty they send out?

3. The quality of art is entirely subjective. Even IF professional review sources hadn't proven themselves time and time again to be complete whores (and/or idiots), why in the hell would you let a total stranger's opinion affect yours?

If you rely on professional reviews, all it says to me is that you aren't able to come to your own conclusions about video games.

Absolutely.

But why bother reading them, when all the information they provide is freely attainable elsewhere?

I buy games based on demos, developer history, series history, gameplay videos, and video-playthroughs. If I am still unsure I will talk directly to other people on forums, ask my friends, give it a rental.

Aside from all of the integrity and objectivity issues with reviews, you have the issue that reviews are one-way communication. You can't request clarification, challenge inaccuracies, or ask questions.

I own over 1000 games and can count on one hand the number of purchases I have regretted (Turok Evolution and Halo 2 for the most part).

You are literally the last person qualified to bring up something's artistic merit as an argument.
