Do you agree with the way people approach metacritic on Killzone and Killer Instinct

I hated when reviewers did somethign like this to Socom. A lot of places gave it bad reviews because the online multiplayer was having problems right at launch. They didn't review the game, they just reviewed the launch. The game was fine a few days after, but the review damage was done. Kinda sucks.

I'm not familiar with the SOCOM situation, but don't you think a developer should be penalized for releasing a buggy, broken, or otherwise incomplete game? If reviewers judge games only by their potential, what incentive is there for studios to release a polished, stable, and complete game?

With the amount of console and game launches that have problems, I'm starting to understand that launches are just very difficult to pull off.  I can give some slack.  It's just disappointing that they "reviewed" a game by using the launch instability to gloss over the actual game.  I think a few nice people updated their reviews, but I don't think most did.  Sad, because it was a fun game.
