I totally agree on this as well.
Here in the Netherlands there's a group of game reviewers (under contract) called Game Kings.
They had their own TV series called under the same name, and still have a magazine called Power Unlimited Gaming Magazines.
Bust most of their reviews and previews are totally based on the opinions of the masses (or better said, they where payed to make a positive review/preview). They really gave me the idea that they just looked up some video clips/gameplay videos on the interwebz, and thought up random ratings for only looking at a 15-30 min. clip.
Maybe that's why they lost their television siree... "^.^
Because people see how amateuristic they sometimes where when they rated games, on their body language.
