for the most part, the majority of poeple who read the reviews,
couldn't careless about the technical bits of the game,
like say what engine was used etc, they just care about whether the game has good graphics/gameplay.
Its like writing a computer review, you don't write a review that has all the
computer science why its a fast processor, you just say its fast and give benchmarks.
So therefore the common people who knows nothing about the computer science will just say, "yeah its fast, I can see that from the benchmark"
Same with game reviews, if the game looks fun, magazine will say,"good gameplay"
Game looks good= "good graphics".
So what I'm trying to get across, the peopel who write reviews are just
trying to break it all up into small manageable chunks, for normal folk like me to understand,
And 'gameplay' seems to be the buzzword to use, so that folk can understand it and not get confused.

It only fair.
I didn't write a big thing on why he was right because he done that himself already.
