Is There Something Wrong with Video Game Reviews?

unclethursday writes "GamesAreFun.com has a new editorial about what the Editor in Chief feels is wrong with video game reviews, GamesAreFun's included. The editorial touches on the importance of scores to people, the importance of getting the first review out there, the problem with trying to review online parts of a game before the game is released into the wild, reviewing games in a series, the expectations from reviews about overly hyped games, and review length."

    Oh boo hoo. Heaven forbid that something might not actually cater to you smug married people. In this case, you are more of a fringe group than you care to admit. There may be a lot of married people who play games, but there aren't that many cases where both people in the marriage are into video games.
