Why is the Review System Broken?

I never claimed they were great, I've already explained that they routinely take bribes. But they're much better than video game reviewers. Infact, just go here http://www.abc.net.au/atthemovies/ and you will see what it is like when reviewers act like responsible adults, rather than spoilt children

what are you talking about ?

Even the NYTIMES  have started to review games now. You are the one who take reviews too seriously and ignore the reason they are there. You clearly believe there is a bias, but only when the score doesnt match what you want.

how many of us cry about IGN, but the minute they give a game we like a 9, we are all happy again.

 

The NYTimes producing reviews makes it acceptable for all the other reviewers to be immature? Cool...

So because I see reviews asa guide to whether people should buy games, as opposed to an analysis of their objective quality, I am ignoring the reason why they are there?

 

'we'? don't you lump me in with you. It's time for you to put up or shut up, search through every one of my 4000 posts (or will this be 3999?) and find one single time, in which I praised IGN after they gave a good review to a game I like. Actually, that's a waste of time, I know there isn't one. Lets broaden the parameters, if you can find one single time in which I praised any game reviewer after they gave a good score to a game I like, and at another date, insult that same review source. Note, don't get all excited when you find that I praise Famitsu, Penny Arcade, Vgchartz and zero punctuation reviews, because you will not find a time when I refer to them as bad reviewers
