 The more I read this topic, the more I get the notion that taste and quality is objective. A reviewer just exposes his views and opinions on a subject, so, how CAN he be wrong? Disagreeing with Jim Sterling is the same to say that his opinions are wrong, and there is no such thing.  You can't quantify quality, be it in games, movies and music, and that means that you can't make a "universal" score about a game. Metacritic says a game is 91, that doesn't make it a better game than any other. If, by average, that game is 91, when someone (Jim or anyone else), gives it a low score, is he wrong for doing so? If all game reviewer sites agrees that it is a good game, should EVERYONE agree?
 
Destructoid is an independent gaming blog. So Jim Sterling, just like the other reviewers - and any user that care to contribute with articles - can speak his mind without worrying about sponsors and any of that. When he gives a low score to Assassin's Creed and sucks it up do Dinasty Warriors, it's his review, made by someone who I know that has a passion for games (whichever it is), that I'll take in consideration. Be it good or bad.

Besides, you don't like him or his opinions, don't read his reviews. It's that simple.
