Here's a quick and easy way to think about any reviews you may come across that look like this, for any game on any system:

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. But not all opinions should be granted equal weight.

Mario Galaxy, for example, is a very good game... albeit one with some definite flaws. If I had more time, I'd write up one of my lengthy reviews for the game, now that I'm nearly finished it. The problem with this review in particular is not that it attacks Mario Galaxy, but that the complaints it makes are wildly non-topical and unsupported by factual argumentation. You're not going to get many people to believe that it looks worse than 2001-era games, for example, and I'm simply not buying any argument that Galaxy controls poorly either.

So obviously this guy can say whatever he wants. However, it's our equal privilege to accord his opinion little or no weight! Sometimes, free speech means giving people the freedom to reveal their own stupidity.
