Inconsistencies between review scores and the reviewers own words.
Inconsistencies/Hypocrisy when reviewers review similar games that have similar faults and/or qualities.
Lack of journalistic integrity (Putting personal opinions about genres and the nationality of the game developers).
Lack of maturity (A lot of game journalists are just too sensitive).

I agree with most of what you wrote, but could you clarify the section in bold?


Like when gaming reviewers state that they don't like a certain genre (JRPGs, Hack & Slash, Fighting, Beat Em Ups, etc) and still review a game in said genre.

Example: http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/09/11/double-dragon-neon-review

The reviewer obviously didn't care for old arcade beat em up games, and his review reflects that. People can't change what they like and don't like, but being objective means putting your personal opinons aside and giving an unbiased analysis.
