The "reviews don't matter" argument, as presented by Zenfoldor

[MaxwellGT2000]

Good thoughts as always Zen, reviews shouldn't be used in fanboy fights, or to prove one game is better then the other, really they're meant to be read seen if this game would be a game for you, you may have different tastes then the reviewer and a 5 to 7 game to him would be a 9 game to you scores are just there to show how much the reviewer himself/herself liked, it's a personal opinion.

You may find a reviewer that fits your tastes perfectly and you can usually judge if it's a game you want to buy. That's the best way to use a review it shouldn't be used to prove it's better then another game that's like saying my friend Ted liked Smash Brothers over Mario Galaxy, Ted has his own tastes while most people like Galaxy over Smash. It's trying to prove your point with someones opinion, there is no real scientific way to test games so there's no end result that's will show the quality of the game.

I do reviews for the site but if someone tried to prove how great their game is based off my opinion I would tell them they're just stupid, if you want to prove anything make factual statements to try and prove your argument.
