Thats great but how do great in depth gaming news and sales articles make up for reviews that clearly aren't in line with most gamer's opinion or even other reviewers. If it were that their scale is just more harsh, I would give them a break, but even accounting for a tougher scale, they underrate alot of good games.  Still, if they back them up with fact, I am ok with it for the most part.

Reviews should never be inline with anyone apart from the reviewer themselves, it's an opinion. And as for the whole argument about supposedly not-so-great games scoring higher than supposedly great games, it's complete bullshit. A game isn't given a score depending on how it did compared to one game, but on its own merits. If a reviewer feels a game is worth a 9, but many people think that this game could never score above MGS4, then that's just a matter of their tastes being different.

That seems aimed at me.

I will say this, I am judging those games I mentioned on their own merits.  I know what each game did well, and what each game did poorly, and how much fun I had with each game.  I have every right to compare those games based on that.  Especially since they are all on the same console.
