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.

I would have agreed with that a few years ago. The times are a changin.
