I don't want to be a spammy spammer but I set up http://www.igr.me simply because I didn't trust "reviewers" I only ever bought games that were recommended by people I knew and at the end of the day games are so expensive now-a-days that I can't afford to buy every game that the makers say is great.

I find IGN has too much advertising and along with gamespot make it quite hard to just get to a review. I used to go to forums for games that were out but now people send in reviews for games they've paid for and if they say they are good they generally are, depending on if you like that sort of game.

However, I get sent lots of reviews for console games but very few for PC and Mac, I'm pretty new to PC Gaming so I bought a few magazines and then some of the games they rated but they sucked, however, I really want to play an MMO game called The War Z, I have a 2009 MacBook and a Dell Vostro 1720. I have been looking around online and have seen some beta reviews and videos that say it will be terrible, some that say it will be great but here is the problem, no one I know has played it, I haven't been sent a review for it and I don't know whether to buy it. Does anyone know of a trusted reviews site like mine that has reviewed the game or have you played it? Is it worth the money and how will it run on the Dell Vostro 1720?

Thanks in advance
Matt

I'm avoiding it myself. It was announced when DayZ reached the peak of its fame although they claimed it had been in development prior the company had just been set up. It's basically a cash in and from the looks of it they have designed it to fleece as much cash as possible with in game money purchasable etc. I'm waiting on the DayZ game though I wonder f that will any good or has the mod actually given us all we will get

I really like the idea of the game, I grew up watching the Romero flick Dawn of the Dead and have wanted to play a sandbox zombie game for so long that I may get involved anyway. I am hoping to get a review copy so I don't have to pay for the game but if there are micro purchases then I would eventually pay the full price anyway!
