Then we obviously just disagree on it.

I gave examples where reviewers talk about innovation in games. Proving that it can count. I can find multiple other examples too where innovation (Or lack of it) is talked about... While i agree it isn't one of the primary things (Presentation, gameplay, graphics and replayability IMO) it is still there and it does help in reviews.

It's also conspicuously absent in several of the highest-rated games on all systems. Look at Twilight Princess. Or Halo 3. Or MGS4, God help us all.

Isn't it reasonable to say that reviewers just don't like it as much as the average Wii owner?
