Review August 21, 2009

IGN is targeting gamers with what they do best; give their reviews on all the upcoming and latest games.  The reviewer goes in dept with how the game plays out.  He talks about the story, setting, characters and all the extra activities to do throughout the game.  The Playstation 3 review is the same as the Xbox review though the only difference that the reviewer says that the graphics are sharper on the xbox but I can strongly disagree.  They talk about how the player takes control of the famous hero and use his skill to take out the villains throughout the game.  A strong appraisal to the game was the voice actors, many who acted in the famous Batman The Animated Series.  IGN helps define the pros and cons of the game and the article is strongly recommended for those who are looking on opinion for this game or any game in general.

Review 2: The Lion King 3D

Product: Film

Review By Elizabeth Weitzman:

September 17, 2011

The review is the writer disliking the fact that Disney is cashing in a pre-made product.  The author Elizabeth Weitzman,  talks about movie in outline form.  She talks about the intimacy of the movie and many theme it represents two being: life and death.  She says that even though she feels as though the ticket is too much (it really wasn’t), that it was worth the money she spent to go watch the film.  I believe that her review was very helpful and informative.  She lets the audience know that many of the young children that are now adult can see it again and her only complaint really is that she is afraid the ticket prices are too high. Overall her review is just informative if nothing more.

Review 3: IPhone 4

Product: Gadget/Phone

Review By Joshua Topsky

January 22nd, 2010

The review goes over the phone overall.  He speaks about the display, camera, hardware, and design.   The audience clearly is after tech geeks and other people who are looking into purchasing the phone.  Being an owner of the IPhone 3GS I found this review to be slightly helpful because I got to see what got upgraded and what advantages were there to purchasing a new phone.  I appreciate that the reviewer goes over the time to do specs check up and how he makes sure we are able to understand what he is saying.  The only criticism that can be given is that if he is truly a tech specialist among these things and that unless he has a credentials elsewhere I can not just only trust his opinion.
