It is high time the people of these websites grew up.

Movie websites and comic websites and magazines grew up a long time ago. It's time video games followed suit. We need to start getting reviewers who will actually take the time to review these games.

I was actually researching a game my niece asked for called "Littlest Pet Shop". I figured, if I found a dissapointing review that convinced me my niece wouldn't like it, I'd skip over it and buy her something I thought was cooler.

But the only review I found for it, just said the game sucked and I shouldn't get it. Didn't go in depth about the game, just wrote several paragraphs filled with childish "humor", like he was too good to even consider what the game might mean for a little kid.

So I ignored it, I bought it, and low and behold she liked it. Big surprise? Not really.

The problem I have with a lot of reviews these days is that they are simply terribly written bashfests or ridiculously positive gushfests. They are simply worthless, and they don't consider the tastes or preferences of other consumers, only their own, making them utterly useless to anyone but themselves.

Gaming journalism sucks.
