Indeed. I used to read game magazines but for some reason they started to irritate the heck outta me. Japanese ones aren't a whole lot better. Too much irrelevant crap. Famitsuu gives way too high scores nowadays, almost all high profile games are 38-40, so their credibility is kinda bad. It's nice to have some kind of pointer though, especially with 3DS games where "sneak peek (read: flashcard)" isn't possible.
