Many unbiased reviewrs gave the game a higher score. Are they also biased?

I don't trust her reviews, that's all. Even some Nintendo fans on IGN agree with me that she is the most biased reviewer on the site.

Well bias is in every single review and there's also such thing as anti-bias (which some people don't really think about).  IGN has a lot of anti-bias when someone who doesn't like NIntendo reviews a Nintendo game (I've seen it).  Personally, I've only seen about 4 or 5 of her reviews.  I know she likes Nintendo, but I wouldn't say that her reviews are only guided by bias (as all reviews are somewhat guided by that).

WHAT IS HAPPENING

All reviewers have bias, whether positive or negative. Not all acknowledge it. This is essential because all consumers have bias, as well. Gamers with a positive Nintendo bias read Audrey's reviews and agree because they feel the same way about Nintendo games; she speaks for them. If the game is enjoyed like a 9.5 or what-have-you by a large audience, doesn't it deserve to have even a single 9.5 representing that audience? Likewise, the game didn't get straight 9s and 10s. It got some lower scores from reviewers who didn't enjoy it as much.

You might suggest that some people would play this and enjoy it so little that they would give it the lowest score possible. That is true. However, these people would never play the game, and don't need to be represented by reviewers who would also never play the game. If I don't like anything about a game, I'm not going to play it, and I shouldn't care what kind of reviews it gets.

All reviewers have bias. A truly unbiased review would be quite uninformative.

It's pretty obvious when you look at other IGN editor's posts that they weren't very good at their job. Or at least some of them. Because there are the rare few that actually do alright.

This still goes both ways.

I might have to pick this game up for 3DS. ;)
