I find reviews useful. I don't have the time to play all the games released. Reviews are helpful to screen game offerings down a bit, granted I weight them based on genre (e.g. personal preferences). I like Suda, but their newest game bombed, hence I am glad it was reviewed. Not sure what "problem" we are attempting to fix.
Honestly, if a game is good, developers should embrace early reviews. If a developer is worried about reviews, then there is a larger problem. At work I get annual reviews and I look forward to them. Being afraid of a review is crazy to me.
