After the disaster of Gerstmanngate and the shame it brought down on Cnet and GameSpot I was a little disenchanted with the idea of relying on any singular review site to help me decide my purchase. The reality that we exsist on the recieving end of a corrupted market where money is king and integrity is its loyal subject left me with negative feelings toward the industry in general. In truth I've been asking myself questions for a long time, questions like: "This game rocks, why'd it only score a 7.9?" or "This isn't really that fun, why'd it get a 9?" It makes sense now. First off, a review is nothing more than an opinion. Much like mine. So regardless of wether or not bribery is involved in the generating of a great score (or bad score) no review is going to accurately articulate the same exact experience for any two or more people.

I still feel this way.

But some people have returned to the status quoe, are bragging about "AAA" titles or are bashing other people for having the outspoken hope that a reviewer might bestow there most hyped game with a good score. Please don't be one of these people, they make this site less cool.
