Good video and a very interesting point well made, though I would question some of the review scores they seem to promote.
What this video seems to be pushing isn't critical thinking, but simply unwavering cynicism. Some games genuinely do deserve high scores, and it's interesting to see this video pushing the "6/10" as the expected result. Now, granted, perhaps that's fair. Perhaps games like 'Bioshock Infinite' and 'The Last Of Us' actually do deserve a 6/10, but they probably also deserve a 9/10 depending on personal bias. I'd be happy to see range in reviews, to see an aggregate score of say 7.5/10 for these games would be really reassuring for me.
There are a few games I would genuinely give high scores too, and I wonder if the makers of this video would be accepting of such things, or would they simply write off the opinion as "fanboyism". Excessive cynicism and an unpleasable public is just as bad as people calling every polished turd "brilliant".
