but are the list makers trying to tell us NOT to trust their ratings?

We came up with this list of ten turkeys -- games that just didn't live up to their incredible hype. These aren't necessarily bad games -- in fact, most of these are quite good. It's just that, for whatever reason, they fell short of expectations. So after you're done stuffing your fat faces full of food, chew on these!

 

That's understandable, but then, if a game recieves a massive amount of hype, and falls short, that should be reflected in the review.  If a game recieves a massive amount of hype, and recieves a near perfect score, didn't that game live up to the hype?  The bar is raised every year.  At the time of their release, many of these games were among the best of the best.  My opinion is that it's not fair to put a game down years after it's release when it delivered the goods back when it was released.
