I've been catching up with ex-EGM editor Dan Hsu's blog. It gives really great insight onto the realities of gaming journalism, and unfortunately reinforces my current standing of, "you can't trust only one good review".
But I definitely understand the game publisher/developer's side, Noone strives to make only a 'so-so' game. When you have 20-40 employees spending 2 years of their life into a product, they're not going to agree with a low review score. But of course, it's because of this, that game designers have to really try to detach themselves with their passion, and objectively ask themselves, is someone else going to have fun with this?
