If i based my decisions to purchase a game solely off of reviews then i would never have bought games like Sonic Unleashed or Wanted: Weapons Of Fate - 2 of the most enjoyable games this generation. Theese same "Journalists" will probably give an absolutely garbage game like Mass Effect 2 a high score and say it "Reinvents the RPG genre." or something equally stupid when in fact, ME 2 isn't an RPG at all, it's a Third - Person Shooter that allows you to upgrade your weapons, no different than Ratchet & Clank. If FF XIII was a low - quality game then would 1.8 million people, nearly half of the PS3 install base, in Japan have bought it? I don't think so.
