I don't think that's how a review should be done at all. Imagine an art critic is going over a painting of elepahnts. Personally the art critic thinks that elephants are the ugliest animals on the face of the earth. But the art critic can see that the painting has good balance, lighting, and is painted from an interesting viewing angle. Should the critic give the painting a 4/10 because he doesn't like elephants? Or should he recognize the talent put into the work and give it a higher score? The purpose of a review is to give a recommendation to your audience. When a reviewer steps back and asks "How would my peers like this?", instead of "How do I like this?", that's about as close as you can get to being objective in a review. |
Which is generally why a single critic doesn't review every type of game. Jim doesn't do that either. He has for example hired other people to review certain types of games for his site if he himself doesn't feel confident in reviewing them. Fighting games for example are often reviewed by someone else for him.
