That only proves my point. Reviews shouldn't be so different among different reviewers from the same site. If the personal opinion of the reviewer dominates the review, it's a an illegitimate review, period.

Nah. If they adhere to the corporate standard then the review itself is worthless as a opinion piece. The staff does not need to agree with a review, and apparently that's the case her: tthe staff does not agree that NMH is worse than The Conduit.

Anyway.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii should have placd higher.

Los 5 primeros lugares son demasiado obvio.

Aunque no estoy de acuerdo con las algunas posiciones (Punch out!).

Lastima que no esten ni The conduit, ni House of dead OVerkill.



Saludos!!

Who do not hurt The conduit, or House of Dead Overkill.

No More Heroes got a 7.8 at IGN. The Conduit got an 8.6.

Still, No More Heroes is on the list, and The Conduit isn't. This proves IGN is just rolling some dice and randomly spouting crap (imo, both don't deserve to be up there though).


Umm....because they were both reviewed by different reviewers (i.e. different opinions).........?

Isn't a review by definition the personal opinion of the reviewer?

No, that's what an opinion piece is. The goal of a review isn't to make your opinion known, but to inform readers of the game's qualities and weaknesses so they can form an opinion of their own.

For the most part those strengths and weaknesses are subjective. Hence it's the opinion of the reviewer.

No it's not. The point is to get you to buy hardcore games. And there's no use arguing, because I have pages upon pages of proof!

Problems arise because one's interpretation of a game's qualities and weakness is influenced by one's own biases and preferences, which to some extent can't be helped.  The problem these days is most people don't even make the attempt to make an impartial assessment of the games qualities and instead just dive straight on into opinion.
