All the other so-called "journalists" may just go play to "who's got the most hardcore d*** out there", but it will be without me... i don't need to know if they give Mario Kart Wii or NSMBWii a 5/10 or a 9/10: their opinions are worthless, and not "seasoned" but actually very childish and immature...

And yes, even when it comes to games i'll buy for my kids, cos' these hypocrites never REALLY think of THAT userbase when they're writing their reviews: they just care about their own tastes, and their own "hardcore" bias...

 

That's fine, but some of us like knowing if a game is excessively easy or short. All of us who are still waiting patiently for a current-gen snowboard game that can rival last-generation SSX games appreciate reviewers being completely frank in saying it's targeted primarly at kids or families so people like me can avoid it altogether. I have certain expectations from the games I pay retail price for, and at least a few things pointed out in the IGN review, even though it's poor as an actual review, let me know it's not something I would be interested in. You mustn't forget who IGN writes these for after all.
