Same here. I only speak on two fronts, mostly - my opinion, and why I believe in my opinion based on my own experiences. Gladly will welcome any and all disagreement, when spoken with a civil tongue. It only makes this community a bit stronger, in my opinion. Definitely agree about the content. I've held the same opinion from early on, that there is not enough, what is there is not told in any sort of compelling fashion, and that parts of it just feel more polished than others. On the subject of reviews, Joystiq posted an article (yesterday, I think) specifically related to your point there. They have found that reviews are becoming less and less relevant, because people are putting so much faith in them, as we are in a time where games are evolving over time. So, they are doing away with numerical/star based reviews, instead to focus on discussing the merits and shortcomings of the games, allowing people to draw their own conclusions based on facts, instead. Applaud them for that, personally. :-)
