Every gamer has had at least one bad experience with a disappointing game. Imagine you are browsing new releases at the game store and you pick up a game because it has an interesting title or you are attracted to the visuals on the package. When you get it home, however, it is nothing but a disappointment. The graphics might be terrible. The storyline might have huge plot holes that distract you from game play. It might be impossibly difficult, with no chance of you actually winning. Alternatively, you might get a game that a five year old could beat in eleven minutes! No matter what the problem is exactly, you have purchased a dud of a game. You might play it once or twice more before abandoning it forever. Even if you manage to resell it, you will probably only get back a fraction of its original price. Reading game reviews online would have saved you from this frustration. If you want more entertainment with your game reviews you can even watch some on YouTube.

Another reason to check out peoples opinions of games before you buy them is if you are looking for a game to give as a gift. If you are not really into video games yourself, you want to make sure you pick a good, well-regarded game to give to your friend. You certainly do not want to give your best friend a game he hates and ends up using as a coaster. With any gift, you want to give something that the recipient will enjoy. If you are a gamer, you will probably end up playing your friend's game a time or two. There is no harm in making sure that you will enjoy the game as well.

If you want to give a game to a younger child, age-appropriateness is an issue. It needs to be a game that is not too hard for the child's age group. You should also read online game reviews to make sure that the game has no inappropriate content. When you read reviews online, you can pick that perfect game for you or a friend.
