Torillian, I said, "though our reviewer did score it higher than I did for the first game."

I also think the issue is while the game itself is average, that doesn't mean it sucks or is garbage as is claimed by many reviewers and even a few members.  Just take a look at Joystiq's review for an extreme example.

Joystiq's review seems overly harsh, but they didn't review the first game so you can't use that as a difference between how the first and second games are being treated by reviewers.  By the sound of it the guy probably would have hated the first Conduit as well, just the wrong choice for the review.

Joystiq's review is a bad example altogether because they brought in someone with clearly next to no perspective on reviewing games period (he was credited as an "actor" and "WoW enthusiast,"), and the entire review justs seemed to be a vehicle for them to shill his book and score some hits reviewing a game they figured no-one cared about anyway


That seems like a good thing for http://gamejournos.com/ to call on.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
