That they need to know what their audience likes, and provide a review that would reflect how the customer would rate the game. There job is basically to tell you if you will like a particular game. Not whether they personally like that game. |
Sorry, this assumes that there is an objective standard of quality when it comes to this particular craft, and that isn't the case. A reviewer's job isn't to tell me what I like, it's to give a fair assessment of what she likes, and by viewing the body of her work I can see whether or not we have the same values. If a reviewer doesn't show their own values in the review, the review is less than worthless, and might as well be boiled down to bullet points about framerate and the number of levels.
