Default Re: Are Video Game Reviews Broken?

Broken? Not any more broken than anyone's opinion can be.

All reviews can be reduced to the opinion of one person, regardless than what "scientific" method is used. It's always best to read the article and evaluate the reviewers taste in games and then judge whether or not you felt the praise or criticism to be based on fair comparisons/judgements.

If I need a quick and dirty review, I use metacritic. If I want to see a number I want to know how the majority of reviewers rated it, not just one.
