I've been noticing a trend recently, and I'm wondering if it's just me or if things are changing. The reviews are starting to look like forums; is it normal to respond to other reviews when you write your own?

I was also under the impression that you could only review a game you had actually tried, and it's pretty obvious from at least one that it's only an attempt to discredit the game rather than an actual review of what it's like. I see nothing wrong with writing an unflattering review about a game you play, but I'd hate to see this turn into a McDonalds/Burger King type advertisement campaign with nothing but insults about each other.

I don't expect people to really care about what I want, but I'd still like to ask: please stick to writing about your experiences in your game and forget about what others have written, and try to show what's good about your own instead of just trying to make someone else's look bad.
