I think reviews can explain how good a game is. I just feel everyone is talking about the number they give at the end and not the content of the review. Does an 88 metacritic for Burnout Paradise and an 86 metacritic for Resistance mean that Burnout is better? No it's too close. Now what about 88 for Burnout Paradise and a 20 for Ninjabread Man? It gets harder to say it's all opinion as the numbers get so far away from each other. I can easily say Ngage has a better gaming lineup than 360, but it would be a laughable argument. It is all opinions in a way, but I feel most everyone accepts some opinions more than others and that's how we get things that people agree upon.
Reviews also reveal things like frame rate drops and pop in. What if someone had the opinion that they liked pop in and frame rate drops in a game? It's all opinions really on game quality. I do believe there are accepted standards on what is a good and bad game. It's hard to tell with a lineup of good games, but if you pitted the top 10 games on metacritic against the lowest 10 games, I doubt you'll find a person on Earth that will argue that the bottom ten are better.
