That would be true if videogame critics had any sort of critical standard.
They don't however... reviews don't count for anything.
Videogame reviews have no credibility unlike reviewers of movies, cars, literature etc.
Additionally, videogame reviewers get their income from one source more or less. Videogame advertising. Which makes it even less credibile.
If you look at other critics, they are usually paid via advertising from things that are NOT movie advertisements primarly.
Videogame reveiwing is a sham.

I disagree.
The only reviews i count as not credible are reviews from "Official" sites. Or ones based solely on hype for many of the big name titles (GTA4 says hello).
If it was such a sham there wouldn't be so much hype for reviews or so much hate if a game doesnt get a AAA review score.
At least, that's what i think anyway.
