I'm beginning to think game reviews are biased/skewed (or I have issues)

Gamespot is the worst. IGN is pretty good. I do agree that FPS's receive too much credit too often. Unfortunately, it is somewhat unavoidable. They usually are pretty pleasing to the eye and to the player. I think things will change in the future though given the Wii's success rate. Some of the Wii games are just plain bad though, all of you have to admit. I do think reviewers will eventually open up to "casual" titles that are well made, and enjoyable for everyone. A lot of them even gave Wii sports in the 7.5's and such.

Agreed, except I don't like IGN(still no Gamespot, but they are getting there). FPS do recive WAY to much credit. Gears of War(in my mind) is a little more hyped then it needs to be. I found the game kind of dull(might just be the level) and dark. Hey, developers, can I SEE what I'm playing. That's just me though. I think a lot are just hyped to death. Killzone is the best example.

And, yes some Wii games are bad. But, to reviewers it's usually the wrong ones. Cooking Mama, from what I've seen, is actually a pretty cool game. Sure, it's shallow, but it's still fun. The ports are the ones that are bad. the casual games like Cooking Mama aren't.
