For the love of, it's not that complicated. We used to think that subjective things like art and literature could be objectively defined as good or bad on a scale by people who were super educated. We moved past that view of Literature and art to a more post modern subjective view of art and literature. Videogames however have gradually lapsed into this view of objective quality that can be determined by a small group of people with authority over the topic, except these people do not receive the authority to make this judgement from education, they receive the authority from fanboys that make them into authority figures despite their own disdain for them. |
Just to nitpick this slightly, Amazon/Ebay/Allreaders/iblist and more all review books with a numeric scale.
It's just that you see slightly more forum activity around "Killzone 2" than you do Heinlein's "It's great to be back."
