Don't apologize you didn't even insult me just now. Anyway I don't think Gnizmo is a professional reviewer and my comment was directed towards him saying Wii Sports is a well made game. THIS IS WHERE OUR DIFFERENCE IS. I think stuff like Wii Sports was rated fairly, you don't. And not based on opinions either, but based on the merit of the game, what it offers, the depth and functionality of the game.
The best action movies get the same reviews as the best kids movies get the same reviews as the best artsy-fartsy ones. In gaming, "casual" titles are uniformly lower in review score, and moreover are constantly derided by critics as "non games."
See, this here is what I'm arguing. Nothing about movies really, that was just an example for me showing that it's the same, you obviously don't agree. Now I don't consider 'casual games' to be a genre. Halo and Mario were casual games last gen (and still are) and they both received amazing reviews. Nintendogs also scored really well because it's great at what it does. By casual you seem to be referring to...bad games.
Things like Wii Sports, Wii Play, Mario Party 8, Mario and Sonic...these games have some very serious flaws. Wii Sports I can see an argument for or against...that didn't get such bad reviews. But the games that did score poorly are BAD. Just because they sold well doesn't mean they should have scored higher. There are always exceptions to the rule but I think it's consistent for the most part.
Do you see what I'm saying now? Because it seems like you haven't this entire time, I know how movie critics rate movies and I'm saying they are doing the same thing as game reviewers for the most part.
