Remember, with people prejudices, you have the vote of many people count so they all have to be biased to sway it one way. With a reviewer, it's only one person so he/she are the only one to judge on it. I like how on Yahoo they put the opinions of many critics about movies. And it usually varies termendously. Sometimes you see a critic with A, and another one with C for the same movie. That's how they have about 11 critics to be more fair. But in a video game, there is always one reviewer and he/she usually have preferences (every person does). Like yesterday, I was watching the show on TV where they rank video games, and they were rating an RTS. One reviewer gave it a 6. But he DOES NOT like RTS's. I've actually heard other people raving how good it was. So it's not fair to see the view point of only one person as compared to many people.
That's my humble opinion though
