I have been thinking about game reviewing for a while now, and I believe there is one major difference between video game reviews and movie reviews.
Video games have addictive qualities to them. It's true. Some are designed to have them from the start, some happen by accident. If someone has their brain wired for a specific form of action reward they will probably tend to enjoy one game over another.
The main reason I think this is that I am a very casual gamer. I tend to enjoy almost every game I play. It's very difficult to understand many of the negative reviews many games receive, as well as the hate many games receive.
