TalkBack / Re: The Emerging Essential Relevance of Value in Game Review

Journey is a 2 hour game, but won a bunch of GOTY awards.  If Journey had been a $60 game, would it then magically be a worse game and no longer worthy of GOTY awards?  That makes no sense.

I disagree: I don't think the price of a game should factor into the review score.  A game's price inevitably lowers, but the game's quality remains the same.  Add a paragraph near the end talking about the value proposition, but don't let that affect the score.


A game review is about the quality of the product, not its current price.  Can you imagine giving a movie a lower score because it only airs in 3D and thus requires more expensive tickets?  That's ludicrous.
