Two thoughts, from someone who runs a website primarily dedicated to video game reviews: 1) It's stuff like this that, in part, forms the reason why I stick to retro games. 2) For new games, I use reviews to reveal to me what the game is like. The actual opinion/score/grade of the reviewer means much less to me than the information provided. I know my tastes better than any gaming company or reviewer; thusly, from information given, I can typically gain a solid sense of my potential enjoyment. Sure, a grade/score/opinion can influence my thinking if especially provocative, but I have been gaming long enough to know that sometimes you just love what other people consider garbage and consider garbage what other people love. -- NintendoLegend.com
