The Wii also has the most games rated below 50% on any of the next-gen consoles.

But of course these games are all amazingly fun, all critics are usless, forum posters know more then critics, and your average gamer will give a Wii game a better score then any professional reviewer.

bleh...it's just pointless talking to Wii fanboys.

What actually makes a 'professional reviewer' ?

I've looked and looked and in amongst the articles about A levels, university degrees and 7 years of training to be a doctor I cannot see anywhere:

WANTED: Person wanted to sit on arse playing computer games all day. Must be semi literate and consider themselves a professional even though all they are doing is getting paid for doing what many unemployed do all day.

Anyone of us can be a reviewer it takes virtually no talent, only an opinion.

 


 you fail at research...

IGN's Requirements are a B.S. to M.S. degree in journalism at least. 


and of course journalists and renowned worldwide for their expertise in gaming.

Next time I see an article in 'the sun' newspaper about huge breasts or who's shaging who I must remember that a 'professional' told me so it must be accurate.
