Most of this thread's comments are about older games. What's puzzling me more are the poorly rated review scores on Metacritic currently.
Child Of Eden 84; Catherine 83; Ms Splosion Man 83; Trenched 83; Toy Soldiers 81;
El Shaddai 76; Warhammer: Space Marine 76; Dungeon Siege 3 72; Dead Island 71
I play more 70+ rated games than I do the higher rated games right now. Its seems to me that the current crop of game reviewers have subjective agendas in their critiques. They'll nitpick one game based on expectations and then give another game a pass on the same issues. I admit that, in the past, reviewers have always had biases but it's much more prevalent now. Reviews were more reliable when it was print media compared to the present internet reviewers. I doubt if many have graduated college while majoring in journalism.
