Well I think all were pretty pissed off that IGN gave GTA IV a 10. Hell I was pissed off when they gave MGS4 a 10. Showed another way of how extremely hyped games with large brands always get good scores and not because they are great games but because of that. Both deserved great scores but we know why they got it. Of course MSG4 had to get a 10 after GTA IV.

Of course that is just one review site so if I don't want to pay attention to their unprofessional and misguided reviews then I don't have to.

What I really want from reviewers though is justice. I don't care if the review score is whatever but as long as they make it apparent without a doubt it deserves it. They didn't do that with GTA IV or MGS4. They didn't do that with Wii Music for the other radical side. Instead they based it purely off hype BEFORE the review even released and when the raw game isn't the only factor into the score then there is always a problem.

Personally it would probably be best for reviewers to never even pay attention to the hype and media of a game and simply play the game when it's finally released so their judgement is solely on the game but of course this isn't ideal.

Solution? Don't care what reviewers. I mean they are people... no more special than you and I so who cares what they think. They are simply giving another not so perfect opinion. Read reviews for the previews within and not the raw score at the end and you'll be fine.
