New Games Journalism

New games journalism is simply ANOTHER way of reviewing and choosing a good video game for you personally. There is no right way or wrong way as to how these articles should written but rather there are different options for gamers to read about them. I don't think there is any reason for people to argue and decide which is 'better' but rather which method best helps you choose a game. In the past video games were reviewed/described by what actually made the game. The graphics, the storyline, audio, etc; which are all things that can/would help a person decide if the game was worth it to buy them. With new games journalism the emphasis is more on the experience of the game. What did the player feel while playing the game, what were his experiences, what was their personal experience? Even though these questions are all subjective, it's one more way for a gamer to decide if it's worth it for them to buy the game. What makes a good review of a game is having many different points of view from all sides of the table. With any decision, the best decision is an educated decision. To get points of view from fact as well as from opinion would help with any decision, especially in a decision as to whether or not a particular game is for you or not.
