But they are paid for their work.
They are players, but they're paid to endorse popular games.
People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.

They say good things about popular games and put it on a major website or in a magazine. That's endorsement.
You can get a general idea of what a game is like from them, but you can't make a good/bad judgement without getting the perspective of someone who isn't paid for playing it.

They may be paid to do that--but they also don't remain impartial. Look at the whole Kane and Lynch fiasco. The game was universally tanked by a certain game reviewing website, but then they literally overnight acted like it was the second coming.
That's why it's important to never, ever, ever listen to reviewers who are not part of a fansite or being paid at all.

And was the gameplay at the beggining because they do fight right along with you there as npc. Im telling you guys the truth.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Ok let me explain it better. in the campaign cole and baird will not be with fenix. They Will have there own parts of the game. like halo 2. althernating between one and the other. Also how dare you call game informer a trash bin.
Dude, in the vid they say it's level four, your talking out of your bum here.
As for the whole reviews, I concur with the general view of it, I had a subscription to power unlimited for years, but from the point where gaming became a bigger business (think 2000+) they'v just been going along with what's popular and being general asshats.

I am telling the truth sola. In the campaign. There are different lvls. Some are played with dom, marcus a new chracter called jace and anya. Some are played with cola baird and 2 other chracters i dont know of. look at the game play part of this
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gears_of_War_3 Says it right off the bat.

No i am not. I am not at all. Im just saying thet they wont be seing much of eachother. It is not like how they split up last time in which it was a 4 team split up into to for 5 minutes. These are entire lvls.

Are you just trolling me know sola? I told you that i am not saying they wont be together at all. Im saying for a majority of the game they will not be together.

I'm not, you anwsered a non existing question with No, not at all. Whilst there was nothing to respond like that too. But I give up, you clearly don't want to better it.
Ok i will explain what i am trying to say fully.
At the begging of of the game they are on a ship. They then get attack by giant tentacles(lambent) the fend them off. Then later on they split. Then they go off and do there own thing. They still talk on the radio. It goes one simutaneusly. As is one levl will be parralel to another in terms of when it is happening. Then towards then end my guess would be either they meet up or each fight there own boss. There. And my response was to you saying "you are saying they were never together to begin with"

You could have explained that clearly in the first place, rather than making a statement that you must have known was incorrect. Soladrin wouldn't be ripping on you if you got your facts straight before posting that.
