Dunkey is one of my few YouTube subscriptions. I don't always agree with him but he's entertaining and consistent.

As a fledgling game critic myself, I think this video hits pretty close to the mark. There are serious problems in the games journalism industry: nepotism and favoritism, rushed reviews, etc. The one criticism I think shakiest is that larger outlets like IGN and GameSpot employ dozens of reviewers, which leads to what appears to be inconsistent criteria. This is just kind of unavoidable. Not every staff member will speak with the same voice or appreciate the same things, so you're going to get wildly different scores for similar games.
