I don't usually agree with reviewers but I still understand that they're our best bet into picking quality games. There are things they can reveal about games, like technical issues, that you would never hear about otherwise. The scores themselves are off many times, but if you look at the content of reviews and not just pay attention to the scores, you'll tend to see it's usually the same strengths and weaknesses adressed with different reviewers thinking they each deserve a different score based on the same qualifications. There's no critical medium that's going to get everything right, people have too many varied tastes for that. I will say though that overall reviewers deliver the goods and when you go to gamerankings and metacritic, you'll notice games like RE4 and Ocarina of Time are near the top and Bomberman: Act Zero and Fighting Force 2 are near the bottom. It's not perfect, but it's certainly not broken.
