The gaming media is unprofessional and inconsistent and I'm sick of it.

if you are sick of it, then stop reading gaming media like someone else said. i stopped reading gaming reviews, news, and previews altogether. the only thing i do is read forums, but i usually only read topics like this, not impression on games topics. i dont know, i usually get my info for games from the publishers websites and boxes and stuff, its really all you could do if youre sick of the media.

my main gripes with gaming media is everything is uaully the same, and heavily slanted toward hardcore HD games

What the hell are you talking about? Some of the highest rated games this generation aren't in HD.

And that can only be accounted as miraculous, given how little exposure or coverage the high-rated non-HD games get

I don't care what anyone says. That "Nintendo gets rated lower" is bullshit.

Nintendo isn't the only developer or publisher on the Wii.  Nintendo has never had much of a problem getting their AAA games the recognition they deserve.  It is the games on the Wii from other companies that get the short end of the stick when it comes to media attention.

These days, if you are not a male, about 15 to 25, with a preference for online shooters, then you are being under-served by the current state of video game journalism.  (A bit of an exaggeration, but you get the point.)  Even if you do fit in that group, you have to search long and hard to find the good, somewhat unbiased outlets for news and reviews.
