There was a game on X1 that a female reviewer gave some negatives on the review and scored lower (probably 80) than some fanboys wanted.

They persecuted the girl demanding her gamescore to see how much she played and to see if she wasn't a Sony fangirl.

One point is that most reviewers use the company login instead of their own, because those games are review material for the company not them.

@thread: I love how many people says that if you don't give large value on the grades why are we commenting and also complaining about we disagreeing with trolling reviews... but then they are here also saying it doesn't matter but keep pestering.

Eh, let me rephrase that. Freelance writers (male or female) should not be hired to write reviews of videogames, when they obviously don't play videogames. But too many sites just want the extra traffic that having a "video game reviews" section brings. And they want it as cheaply as they can get it, so they hire freelance writers. The end result is that the lowest common denominator stuff like FPS gets higher scores than usual, and the niche stuff gets panned more than usual. 

Errrr but but but, reviewers are all very professional, or so I heard.
