I have nothing against cinematic games. My beef is more with the way they are reviewed than with the games themselves. I feel like it's much easier for a reviewer to "forgive" the shortcomings of a cinematic game if the story is good enough, and I just don't think that's fair to the games that choose not to focus on story.
Something like a puzzle game will never score as well as something like a Final Fantasy game, even if it's perfect. I feel like a balance has been lost. Everyone deserves the chance to be number one. Every genre deserves the chance of winning "Game of the Year," not just cinematic games.
