Its called different strokes for different folks.  They don't use one reviewer that does all the games.  Each game affects different people differently.  A 10 game to one person could honestly be 5 or less game for other people.  There is no conspiracy theory going on here.  I thought this was common knowledge and surely nothing to get panties in a twist about.

That's exactly why they are bullshit reviewers. By your logic it's completly fine to let FPS hater review Halo 3 and give it a 4/10, just because he hates fps and multiplayer.

But there is this thing called professional critic, which should try to be as unbiased as he can (it's impossible to be completly unbiased, there is too many factors affecting you whetever you know it or not, that's scientific fact which was brought by Structuralistic method of analyze). But they are joke. They contraindict themselves with each god damn review. It should be colective decidison to rate a game, not a fkin russian rullete.

That's not what I'm saying.  Just because you love the FPS genre doesn't mean you can't have differing opinions.  That's all reviewers are giving you, is their professional opinion.  For example, I love the FPS genre and I also happen to love both Halo 3 and CoD4/6, yet as far as FPS goes they are completely different play styles and most people seem to like one or the other.  If I were to review them, they would both get great scores, but if someone who loves Halo style reviews them both, one would likely score better than the other.

They aren't contradicting anything because there is not one reviewer doing all the games.  They have a team of reviewers and each game ends up being reviewed by a different reviewer.

And as for what MikeB said, that still doesn't matter because he is giving his opinion that they are far from perfect when many people will still feel that those games were perfect.  That's why we have Metas, because not one reviewer stands for them all and we can always expect some people to not like the game as much as others.

Most people who argue with review scores like this, have likely never played the games they are using as comparisons.  I'm sure most of you have not played Halo 3 or ODST with an unbiased mind so you can't be basing your argument off of a review for a game that even you haven't played.
