reviews will never be fair since most reviewers don't buy those games - if they would they would rate games different. we are the ones that will play those games for 30+ hours and we are the ones who will pay for them 60$ - reviewers have those games for free and for couple of hours.
say what you want but i wouldn't get Heavenly Sword or any other game for 60$ even if it would get all 10/10 when it's 6-7 hour long and have little to no replay value.
to me there should always be another score for games besides quality of the game - is it worth your money?

Well some reviewers do try to play a game until it kills them with boredom, and some do say if this game is a rent or a buy, but I think you're right, even if they do try, they fall flat.

Perhaps that's just reality? In order to make a truly informed purchase, we can only do so after a certain ammount of time after launch? And via player reviews (since few "official" reviewers review games after launch, like VGCz).
