Game journalists aren't journalists: they are gamers! I've been saying this quite some time now. AND they are biased!

I agree. And as simple gamers they're often naive, enthusiastic and inexperienced and therefore allow themselves to be affected by hype, fanboyism, expectations and public pressure much easier than you'd expect from 'real world' journalists.

Damn that's well put!!! :D

All in all, they're simply enthustiatic amateur journalists.
