It's a quick look man, you don't research a game before playing it, why should they? They want to show it from the consumer's perspective, not the reviewer's perspective.
The problem with that is that QLing 'blind' requires multitasking, whereas the typical consumer doesn't need to multitask, and the typical QLer apparently can't multitask. So instead of seeing the game from the consumer's perspective, it's often more like seeing it from the perspective of a consumer with ADD. When they end up fumbling around trying to figure out where to go or what to do, it reflects badly on the game, but it's usually caused by a lack of attention on their part rather than any particular fault with the game. If some familiarity with the game can offset that, then I think it's worth it.
