I'm sick of the double-standard held against Nintendo games.

Activision and EA titles like call of duty and all their sports and music games get excellent reviews every year despite being pretty much the same game with different levels.

Yet when Nintendo does it for the first time in 14 years everyone rains on their parade.

That's not true at all. By your definition, Mario Galaxy 2 should be scored lower than Mario Galaxy, because it's pretty much the same game with a whole bunch of new levels. No one hates Nintendo, it's just all in your mind and it's an easy defence mechanism to use when a game you like gets a score you don't think it deserves.

though I greatly agree with you, you gotta admit that sometimes some nintendo games don´t get the scores they deserve (though it doesnt only happen with nintendo either)

That's just opinions though, it's always going to be the reviewers opinion vs yours. As an example, I think Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Mario Galaxy, Grand Theft Auto 4 and Rock Band all deserve a 6/10, but I don't have a problem with the fact that they're all highly rated by reviewers. Reviewers love all the consoles, it's just that they love the 360 much more and they hate the PSP, so that's that and we should all just accept their opinions.
