Reviews are a tricky business indeed but I don't think the problems I have with them are because they aren't giving them high enough scores haha. My main issue comes with them not using a 1-10 scale. Using a 5-10 scale for me is where the issues lies.
I too enjoyed Crystal Bearers, but I think the complaints the reviewers had and the score they gave for it was justified. It was in no way a great game but it wasn't bad either. Was enjoyable for what you got but it had numerous flaws. Don't know about the Calling though, but I've heard mixed opinions from people who have played it.
Rather silly that most are complaining about this guy's complaint on the review system, when I know most of them have made similar ones for select games. Point being, we all find issues with review scores from games we enjoy and don't enjoy. Reviews are only a guide for the experience you'll encounter not exactly how you will end up feeling about it.
And on the last note, is their bias against Wii games? Potentially but I could say that about almost every system's games to a small extent. Making that overarching statement, like many of the dissenters to that notion in this thread have made before, is probably a little silly because we just don't know. Best to just read each review on its own, take what you can out of it, and move on to whether you'll buy it or not.
And one other point. Why do people care how a game has been reviewed after you played it? Even though I make the same mistake I'm about to point out, reviews are supposed to influence buying decisions. If you've already played it, your opinion is the only thing that matters. Let's all try to keep that in mind.
