I would like reviewers to take into consideration the target group of the game.
A game that a 6 year old enjoys will be different to a game that a 28 year old enjoys. The game my mom would like is different to the game my best friend would like.
Right now most reviewers take the perpective of the hardcore gamer, as most of them are hardcore gamers. Maybe it would be interesting to see the final review score being based on the average score of a large random group of players for which the game is targeted. Let Moms review More Brain Training, young kids review Nintendogs and Pokemon, and grandma's review Wii sports. It might also be interesting to see how these groups review games not targeted to them. I would love to see my gran take on GTA and see how she would rate it.
