We all know the feeling. You go to your favorite review sources, hoping to find a review for the version of an upcoming game you want to purchase. Only, you find that the site in question published the exact same review for every version of the game released.
What value is there to this? Virtually, to be frank, none. Its a bullshit, lazy, cost saving practice. A recent example is FFX and FFX-2 HD released on both the Vita and the PS3. There has to be differences, all the way down to the controls of the game. If you want to generalize a review for the games contents and mechanics, if their both on consoles, FINE, but highlight the differences. I dont know if I should get the PS3 or the Vita version, im sure as hell not buying both. The game may be the same, but there is absolutely no way the experience is.
The biggest travesty to this is when review sites publish the same review for console and pc versions, its utter crap.
