If people thought about game reviews as they think about movie reviews they might act more sanely...
Nobody ever accused a film critic to be a fanboy for one studio !
Film Critics:
All reviews bad = its a bad movie
All reviews good = its a movie made with great skill and is a work of art, you might like it if you enjoy that genre
Mostly good reviews = okay movie, if you like the genre and the actors, go ahead you'll like it
Mostly bad to average reviews = if you are a complete fan of the actors of the director or genre okay, if not stay away
Half-price movie night = who cares lets go see what's showing !
If you hate something no matter how good it is, you probably wont enjoy it, you might see some artistic merit in it but that doesnt equal fun !
you cant recommend Halo3 / Resistance / COD4 / "insert favorite FPS here" to someone who either hates FPS games or cant play em (possibly my GF LOL)
