To a certain extent I agree with the sentiment that the better reviews are CONNECTED to the fact that it's not a Nintendo game, but I don't feel it's directly CAUSED by that fact alone. Basically, my attempt here was to track down what the actual cause was for this phenomena, and this is what I came up with.
Actually, the theory I was originally starting out with when I started writing this was that game review communities were essentially lashing out at Nintendo for upsetting their well established standards of game review. However as I was writing, it occurred to me that review sites may actually be unable to adapt.
Of course it could also be a little of column A and a little of column B. Of course, I also recall galaxy or some other nintendo game getting huge reviews and the PS3 and 360 crowd were crying foul all over the place as well. This may just be a matter of waiting for those sites that are spending more time on the review or are just waiting to see how the field settles before setting out their own review, that may be lower score than the current flash flood of 10s.
I am quite curious to see what Yatzee while do with GTA IV though. Either its going to be right up his alley or he's going to tear it apart.
