One word reviews :
Suck

Why you might ask , because they never grasp all of the game. Every game deserves the right to a fair trial and not just a simple one word sentence

NFS6:
fun, too easy

Unfair is when someone passes off a review as if it was a complete analysis of a game when time, bias, etc. prevented them from getting anywhere near this lofty goal. I would also call that deceptive. Unfortunately this is exactly what all of the gaming news outlets and fansites do. Their reviews also suffer from verbose commentary which hinders what they try to express.

This thread does away with the knavery in reviewing and goes straight for exactly what a game basically is.
