First off i like to say that sure everyone can have their own opinion on a game or anything for that matter.But lets be real here,egm cant review games for some reason.If you really read their reviews,you would noticed its not a review but more of a rant.They dont really ever go into a game or if they give it a low score they give a half half-assed review if you even want to call ita review.I will admit I like their previews of games and they get them alot before others.But I think if you have the internet you can just look at in online months before egm prints it in their mag.I think they need to grow up alittle bit and be more muture about how they react to fans or anyone who sadly reads their mag.I know they been doing this for awhile now but this is seriously b-s cause before and by before i mean years ago there was actually some good ppl at egm that gave real reviews.But if you want to know what got me all mad was their review of the new T3 game.One of them gave it a 2.5.I will admit somethings on there are annoying in the game but the graphics in general makes it atleast 7.0.I know that shouldnt make a good game and it doesnt but it is a really good game to play.And if you read the review???with the 2.5 its really has nothing to do with the game.I also believe if some reviewer has something personal agaist someone or something with the game then they shouldnt review the game.Like if someone liked street fighter more the mk you can understand where I am going with that one.

Sorry for this rant but I am sick of egm kissing japs asses and they seem to think that ppl in north america cant make a decent game.But that topic is entire different from this well kinda but I dont want to go into it right now.

That game rules.

Anyway, EGM are game critics, not game reviewers.

Anyway, video game magazines in general have been ass since the deaths of Game Players/Ultra Game Players and GameFan.

Just like the Sonic Archie comics but those are selling like hot cakes. I like EGM but I guess they do rant. But they are paid to be critics, not reviewers. SeanBaby(The guy who reviews the horrible games) is funny as hell though. Anyway, you can't do anything about it, the mag is selling too well.
OFF TOPIC: My favorite magazine is game informer

EGM can be harsh, but so what? They're paid to give their opinions. There are plenty of other game mags, read them. The best way to get your point across to them is to not buy their product.

BTW, why post this here? No one from EGM reads these fourms. If you want them to improve, perhaps you should post your complaints on their message boards.

Well, you can either not read EGM, or start a movement to repeal the 1st Amendment.

Actually very few magazines now rate games well. I think the best place to search for ratings is gamerankings.com because they sumarize what everyone gave the game and average it out. Plus you can read every review for the game by simply clicking the links...I suggest you check it out if you wanna track MKD's ratings when its released.

Fuck, not another "EGM sucks 'cause they gave a game I like a bad score!!! They also suck 'cause they haven't kissed MK's ass since MK3 came out!!!"

If a mag/internet site/person says something negative about something that YOU like, IT DOESN'T FUCKING MATTER! ALL THAT MATTERS IS IF YOU LIKE IT!

EGM's my personal favorite mag (used to be GamePro), but it doesn't mean I think it's perfect. So if people here say things you disagree with, does it mean we shouldn't come to the site anymore? Uh-uh.

I honestly don't know what fuckin' annoys me more: Noobs who don't take the time to see if there's a thread explaining how to have an avatar/sig or those who are so stupid that they can't comprehend the simple notion that PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED TO LIKE/DISLIKE DIFFERENT THINGS.

The day people get that through their heads I'll be one happy, horny camper.

You rule. And do what MKS says, so what if they gave a game you like a bad score, that shouldn't change your opinion.
