Gamerace on 11 March 2011
I agree gamers put too much empathize on review scores but that's totally the gaming publics fault.
It's no different than movie reviews. If people paid the same kind of adherence to movie reviewers as they do game reviewers then all Academy Award Nominees would be 100M movies and Transformers 2 and such would be megabombs. But we don't pay movie reviewers that respect, because we know critically acclaimed movies, while good are somewhat boring (with some exceptions) and summer blockbusters while trash are fun to watch (usually)!
More casual gamers don't have this problem. They look at Amazon reviews or word-of-mouth or just buy their favorite franchises. It's not an issue.
So why are we making it one?
