Some interesting comments so far. For the people who are mentioning the good reviews or the game being good not being a poll option. I think those choices are mainly included with the positive word of mouth option. Obviously if the game was of poor quality people would not be recommending it to others. Also, I don't think reviews really effect how a game sales well after it's launch. I could see the reviews impacting initial sales, but if the game continued to sell well long after reviews came out, I think that can be attributed to positive word of mouth. If someone has a strong argument for the reviews being an option for future polls though, I'd be glad to hear it.
