So Eli 5.3 was made out of an Xbox with a busted hard drive and PS2 with laser problems?
One more thing (now I'm all excited)...Wii has really put the game back in "videogame", and I think games are harder to review than media. How many playthroughs of Monopoly and with how many different people do you have to play it before you decide how good it is? How does playing it with your parents versus playing it with a bunch of drunken friends change your opinion?
"Traditional" one-player games are relatively easy to review like a movie or a book because they're quite linear. Multiplayer games are often reviewed on how many features and options they offer, but does that mean Risk is a better game than Checkers?
