I picked yes, it depends on the reviewer and their company.  I figured some of the reviews could be biased by the person writing them but when I saw the Gamespot blurb I was shown the light and the error of my ways.

I also picked that it depends on the reviewer and their company...it was mostly an assumption in the past, but the recent Gamespot thing gave that thought some more credibility I guess Wink

Every article I've read has some bias and usually some crap reasons for their conclusion. I really hate it when numerical values don't average out properly for certain games, somewhat as a round-up/down method to make a game look better or worst overall. It's nothing to be suprised about though as when we, the gamers respond about a game it's personal opinion and some bias to the genre, publisher, progamming team or some aspect of its creation.
