Has the internet ruined gaming?

Whilst the internet is undoubtedly the best thing since sliced bread, I want to cast you mind back to the 90s, before it’s prevalence and mainstream acceptance. We had no idea what to expect from a game, word of mouth was typically the best form of advice we had on deciding which game to spend our hard earned pocket money on. Times have drastically changed, not only do we now have access to reviews from critics and players alike, we also have full game play videos in which we can see what we will act out.
