Another problem I see with reviewers is their inability to separate a game from it's hype. Halo 3 got the scores it did because everybody knew the game was going to sell millions at that a large majority who bought it also read their reviews. If any site or mag gave that game any less than a 9.0 they got ridiculed for it. I'm not saying that the game deserved less, no wait actually I am, just my qualification there proves that even tmonths later people are still afraid of receiving backlash for saying that game is less than AAA.
In this industry hype is so integral to the way a game is marketed, and sold that It doesn't surprise me when people think that hype=great game or when reviewers feel the same way..
