How can a review like this even count?

hey, reviewers are gamers too. There are gamers who like the wii and who don't like the wii. Most reviewers and critics are paid to be personable, not professional robots. Of course personality is going to shine through.

Yeah... uh.  That's the problem.

 

Reviewers aren't gamers.  They're reviewers.  Reviewing something isn't "Do i like it."

Take a class on cristicism and you'll understand.

 

For example Roger Ebert may personally not like a movie yet he may still rate it well if it fits the critera about what that genre of game should be.

That's why game reviews in general are stupid.

Oh no, I understand it perfectly. I did neglect to explain myself properly though.

The whole point I was trying to make is that the reviewers are this way because it sells. The majority of the demographic is gamers, and as such the demographic likes to read and listen to people who use the right diction, know lots of games, and know how to play well enough to represent the typical ability of the demographic.

It sells, ya know?

But, honestly, wii owners reaaaally loathe zero punctuation, and he's a serious critic.
