Hype dictates scores from major game reviewers, not the reviewers honest subjective opinion. When oodles of previews and trailers and clips of a promising game from a promising dev feed us expectations, we lash out when someone says even slightly other than what we'd like to hear; as evidenced by these comments firing in at Mach 2132343564.

Truth is though, regardless of a silly number score given, written reviews are helpful and informative whether it's backed by IGN's 10/10 or Gamespot's 8/10.

And further, who are we kidding? Damn near every one of us are either playing the game, want to play the game, or would play the game if given the chance. Regardless.
