More NavelGazing About Game Journalism

An anonymous reader writes "FiringSquad has just posted an article going into 5 problems with videogame journalism. The author says that since it wouldn't be polite to point the finger at other journalists, he wrote this racing-game shootout and this DOA4 review to provide the evidence. Great article made even better because the writer is using his own work as evidence for why things have gone terribly wrong."

Anybody know of balanced reviews?

Seems to me that the average score for games revieved is 80%+, and given that most new games are pure trash, I was wondering if anyone knew of a games revies site that had the actual reviews and scores at about 50% or less?
