This is why the review system is broken.  Hell have you read reviews lately?  They're poorly written and not very discriptive.  I remember reviews from the PSX era.  They used to be 4-5 pages long and used to go in depth with everything.  Even sound effects used to be critiqued.  Now we get "Yeah this game lives up to the hype" or "This game isn't that good, it's repetitive, I give it a 7".  Do they go into depth with why it's repetitive or lives up to the hype?   Nope


Which is why despite not liking how often Kotaku has been involved in social political battleship I do enjoy reading their reviews. I don't think anyone does it like it used to be done but I think they're pretty close. I like reviews from Hardcore Gamer, too. Though the fact that they're handing out numerical values to their reviews still doesn't sit well with me.
