Integrity in Hardware reviews

[CptStern]

reading this review I was put off by the amount of glaring spelling mistakes:

To test the pad out we ran it through hours upon hours of intense gaming. To start it off I jumped into Call of Duty 2 and found the pad to be a nightmare to us in Single Player mode as it isn’t a fast enough passed game and because of that I found that I was leaving my hand in a more relaxed position, which, when having such long fingers means that you aren’t pre-paired when you need to react fast.

Jumping into Counter Strike Source I saw the true use of the pad. For me the Warrior was built for the fast passed games

that's just lazy inexcusable journalism ...I'm finding more and more Hardware review sites are less reliable than public opinion sites like E-opinions ..the info contained in some of these reviews is inaccurate, misleading or based on an emotional response rather than based on sound research/testing. In some cases they either have a very obvious disdain for the maker of the product they're reviewing or kiss ass to the point where it reads like a sales pamphlet

I guess when it comes to hardware consumers should stick with reputable sites like Tom's Hardware or anandtech ...unforetuantely they dont review every piece of hardware so I sometimes have to look elsewhere. Anyone have recommendations for good hardware review sites?

Ha ha, that guy said 'pre-paired', and I still can't figure out what the hell he was babbling about 'passed'. I am willing to bet a small fortune in chocolate gold coins that there were originally many spelling errors as well. It's just that those words are spelled correctly when used in different context and thus were not detected by the spell-checker. School is your friend Mr. Reviewer.

As for good reviews on hardware, I just ask www.halflife2.net what they think. Asking the actual owners of hardware is a much better review than a 20 minute or 2 hour hardware test.

ya but HL2.net doesnt always have the answers ...for example ..I really like this pc case

yet no one here has one


hehe when the reviewer said "passed" I think he meant "paced" as in "fast paced game"
