If you start applying rules to reviewers telling them they have to score more or less based on previous scores they gave games then it will become a joke. Retroking1981, your idea of conforming to previous reviews is terrible and would only serve to make review scores even more of a joke than they are now.

I'm sure if they were slanted more towards the PS3 or Wii you would have a problem with them. Fanboyism has absolutely no place in video game journalism and reviews whether it be genre bias or platform bias, it's crap.

They aren't slanted towards anyone so I have no problem at all, obviously you do hence why you might want to read the bit I bolded and follow your own advice.  The main reviews I don't trust are official magazine reviews and some single format publications.  It's not fanboyism for a reviewer to say their opinion on a game if it doesn't score well on their criteria.  Looking at the vast majority of reviews for MAG out there it would appear this review was pretty much on the money.

The main people on here that cry about biased reviewers is PS3 owners (thats a fact), why is there such a trend I wonder?  It was old in 2007 and its not getting any more interesting to listen to now in fairness.
