Who says that the fun of a game is reflected in their average review score?

My Niece and Nephews love games like Carnival Games, Mario Party, and Mario and Sonic at the olympics even though their review scores are less than impressive.

Erm what? None of my posts have even mentioned reviewers or review scores. What are you talking about?

 

You didn't read the linked to article did you?

Their determination of what is a good/bad game is dependant on the average review score of the games ...

There are some games which are seen as bad or "Shovelware" due to their low budget and low average review score which are actually fun (in particular fun to a child). A concept that may seem foreign to a lot of people on this site is that many people still really enjoy games like PacMan even though (by today's standards) it is an amazingly low budget game that would (probably) receive a really low average score today.

 

Look, if you want to argue against my point, then do so.  If you want to argue against the article's point then also do so but don't confuse the two.
