I have been reviewing games for a spell and I will say this - it depends on who's reviewing it and if they are biased or not. Today, anyone can call themselves a critic - they get an early copy of a game and post what they feel about it. For me, I approach every game the same way - why should someone spend $50 or $60 on a game? I will be honest and tell you if a game is good or not. That's it. It's up to you to do the research and ask yourself if the game is what you want.
With anything people review, you have to look out for sweetheart deals and agreements the devs/publishers have with some reviewers. They send them hella swag and other trinkets and hope it sways the person's opinion about the game. It does affect some people - most times, we give away the swag.
In the end, it's an interesting task - being of a fair mindset and speaking the truth, even if it means bashing a game. If the game is crap, it's crap.
Just my two cents.
