Let's go right back to the beginning - Wii Sports (Metacritic average 76%)

76% for the biggest paradigm shift in gaming since the move to 3D? 76% for the defining game of this generation, the game that has sold more consoles than any other? Why? Because it dares to be a sports game without a litany of stats and modes, because it dares to be a sports game that, even although it's method of interaction is as close to the real thing as video games have come, isn't in any way a simulation. That's right, Wii Sports is a video game, not a simulator. It's not meant to be a simulation of its sports, it's meant to be a fun, video game facimile of them.

76%!!!!!!!! All the evidence I need to basically ignore almost all review sources for Wii games.
