Rath, I have no problem with things just being "fun". There are plenty of things I enjoy without being mentally challenged by it. But when reviewing ant kind of game that involves story, pacing, intrigue, and dialogue, other comparisons need to be made. If a reviewer wants to call a game "enjoyable fluff", good for them. I respect that opinion a hell of a lot more than the ridiculous adjectives that have been thrown at games like MGS, GTA, and Bioshock over the past 15 months.
Many people like the Blockbuster movie, myself included. But I don't pretend they're anything more than mindless fun.
