Good comments Mudslinger. I think it is probably a coming of age thing. Many pda users are just getting introduced to gaming and thus see everything through rose colored glasses (i.e. if it's fun, it's perfect). Some of us who have been gamers for years notice a distinct difference in the standard of critique employed and in the quality and innovation demanded by game reviews on the PC and other platforms compared with ppc game reviews. Near perfect scores aren't given out freely on other platforms... they are earned.

Once again I emphasis that this thread was not intended to be a put down to anyone volunteering their time and opinions in writing reviews. It is simply a call for higher standards. If ppc gamers start demanding more then there are companies out there that will start delivering more.

But, hey, you and I are just Newbies Mudslinger (see Group: classification)... what do we know? :p
