I mostly find reviews I read to be useful. I know it's the in thing for gamers to hate on reviewers and sometimes I disagree with the review but that's no reason to get silly about it. I can sympathize with these guys. Their job is to sit up until the early hours of the morning playing every game under the sun. If I had to play poorly made budget game #382919183 when I really want to be playing Twilight Princess I would probably write a three sentenced review aswell. "Yeah, the game sucks. What did you expect." It really ought not be a surprise when a game like FFXII get's a 5 page review.
If there is one thing I would change the way reviews are written today it would be to remove the numbered scoring system. Obviously when a game gets a 3.0 it means it sucks. But between 6.0 - 8.0 can be really fuzzy. Especially since anything below 8.0 is perceived to be a bad score by gamers. People have come to rely too heavily on the score alone and the number itself just doesn't convey enough information.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
You're staring at me like I just asked you what the fucking square root of something.
