The fact of the matter is that we are gamers too, unbiaised and prepared to view something we SHOULD be enjoying as objectionally as possible so that others may purchase/avoid the product in question. It's not always easy to identify flaws in a game (MW2, for example) or find good in others (which shall remain nameless) or even approach something you've been waiting MONTHS for in that manner. Unfortunately we don't always get it right (we're human, too!) but we try our damndest to - and for the record readers, you try playing through the amount of pap so that you don't have to and not come out a cynical, shrivelled mess afterwards... Great article, Alex...has to be my fave of the year so far...
