Out of interest, what do you think is worse, ignoring the good things to make a negative review or ignoring the bad things to make a positive review? How do you judge whats negative and positive and how much weight do you put on those negatives and positives when it's subjective?

Doing either of those is bad journalism. You can't just pick and choose whether you want to highlight the positive or the negative, and brush the other side under the carpet. The whole point of a review is to give you a more complete picture of what you're buying (potentially), before you buy it. Obviously it will be framed by your personal experience and opinions, but you don't build around those as facts, you build around the facts with your opinions, and let your readers/viewers decide if that's a viewpoint they might share, given those details. The score is the most subjective part, and in most cases irrelevant to me personally, but if you're going to score something PERFECT, it better at the very least be technically sound, nevermind not coming with the baggage that this game seems to packing.

Nice reply and i agree.
