Are Video Game Reviews Broken?

They shouldn't get a free pass because Nintendo flaked out on HD.

But how is it fair to compare a Wii game to a PS3/360 game?

All of those download games (like Braid etc) don't get low scores [if/when reviewed] because they have bad graphics. If anything the graphics usually (from what I've seen) are a forgotten factor which is trumped by "fun".

I'm not one to say that Raffi is as good as The Beatles - but I don't think it would be fair to compare the musical stylings of Raffi to that of The Beatles simply because they both make music.
