I always had fond memories of GameFan, but a few years back I went through every issue, grabbing screenshots of all the reviews and content I liked, with plans to you them in videos in the future. There were a few off things I ran into. like reviews being VERY high. Like for Streets of Rage 2, Revenge of Shinobi 2 and World of Illusion having several high scores of 97%, with Illusion itself having a 98% and 99%. Okay, a bit high but they were possibly deserving for their time. Then LandStalker gets a 98, 99, 99 and a 100%! I thought it was a solid game but nowhere near those scores in other magazines (more like 7s or 8s). But then Road Blasters gets a 95, 98, and 99! Its a decent game, but its one big quick-time event. To compare it to the score you normally would see for a Mario, Sonic or Zelda just seems odd. I never liked reviews done by "avatars" or made-up monikers. Sometimes it feels like the reviewer is more honest if they use their real name (or a professional name). This is 1993, so this is kinda early in the whole profession of reviewing videogames, but I was always a bit wary of some scores from this magazine. Maybe this should be a topic for a forum instead. I just thought it was interesting.
