Well said. Game journalism has certainly improved over the years, but, you're right, it's still a far cry from the richness of film criticism.

Stuff like this IGN review reads more like a fan post on GameFAQs than the work of a professional critic.

No, it has not. The reviews in many magizines were expertely written and far above what is being produced today, reviews seem rushed and I fear some reviewer don't even complete the games anymore.

I largely agree.  Back in the day of print gaming magazines, the review quality, on average, was much better than it is today.  

 

The Internet has really beaten the quality out of all written journalism.  Everybody's a writer now, regardless of having any particular skill in the field.
