What the nail in the coffin for me, is when Wii Sports got like a 75% on Gamerankings, and Mario Kart Wii, ended up with a 81%. That's just asinine. Those are two of the most fun games I've played this generation. Just goes to show that "cinematic value" seems to be the main priority with most mainstream reviewers over actual fun factor. That's why I don't really listen to them anymore, as we clearly have different values in determining what makes a good game.
This gap is becoming more apparent with a game like Just Dance that gets 4.5/5 stars on Amazon yet somehow gets an average of 5/10 on most mainstream review sites. Something is clearly wrong.. There needs to be some review sites out there from the perspective of an expanded audience gamer, instead of just another graphic whore and nerdy mid 20s male, because obviously the typical mid 20s jock or geek male looking for epic games with complex gameplay, explosions, and pretty graphics, is not going to look highly on Just Dace, no matter how fun it may be..
