Exclamation Things that are so wrong with todays tests & upcoming test categories

Hi there!

First of all, this is my first of hopefully many threads in this forum. Secondly, I really hope that this homepage will be a homepage I'd basically like to visit every time there is a new technical product on the market.

I really think that you should test new computer hardware, both for the enthusiast (such as my self) and the average user. One thing I really hope will be different with this site compared to the other sites out there is about the test reviews them self. Some times I really like to have a real deep review with lots of detail, but sometimes I'd just like to know the most fundamental thing, e.g. a better summary. And many tests are just not "real-world-tests", each product should be tested and used by someone who know nothing about technical stuff and someone who is very used to dealing with these things.

I saw that you have some upcoming test categories - Game consoles & PC Games. I just have to say that I've been playing video and PC games for about 15 years now (since I were about 5 years old) and still doing it. And almost EVERY review I see @ for example gametrailers.com is made by a little bit older people than me and they are not in my opinion so called "gamers". When I play a game I play it dead serious, pro if you want, and when I see these reviews they say that everything is great and everything. But, when I test the games my self I notice that everything isn't that great. For a average player, maybe, but for me I see so many flaws and I start thinking... What were they thinking?

I can give you one example, Crysis, almost every review out there say "AWESOME", yes yes it looks AWESOME, BUT some of the gameplay, controls and stuff like that is not that great. If you look real closely it's not that great. There is really only two companies out that that almost always makes awesome games that is Blizzard and Valve. So what I am saying is that the PC Games should really be tested by people with a lot of experience in serious gaming. I would really like to be one of those testers!
