@Lord you mentioned that they gave Dead Space better scores because it was cinematic. I gave you a list of highly reviewed games that aren't cinematic which would prove your point wrong. Carnival Games wasn't meant to be cinematic, neither was Mario or LBP or Forza.
You make it sound like reviewers are this disconnected people who live in fantasy land and aren't just gamers. They don't think every game should be cinematic or those games wouldn't get high review scores.
You also said it was judged by its contents and not by how well it did what it was meant to do. If you are only going to judge games by how well they simulate something that's not a full review, other factors should be taken into consideration: quality, fun, originality and so on.
Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!
