Game reviews are getting too convoluted. Elaborate scoring graphs, more stars than the solar system, pages and pages of text. I think the true test of a good writer should be their ability to keep things concise and to the point. So, here's a little experiment. Review a game in 5 words. Like so:

Starcraft 2

You must construct additional pylons.

Arcadia: Gothic 4

Looks pretty. Plays pretty shit.

Dead Rising 2

They got rid of Otis.

...

Now you.

Yeah, I think a lot of these are actually jokes. A lot of mine are. But you know what? That's okay. Humor can be fun!

If you had played the original Dead Rising then you would understand how the absence of Otis is reason enough to purchase Dead Rising 2.  
 
Also, it's rude to wear a hat indoors.
