Let's be honest, game journalists aren't exactly perfect either. The only difference is that they are swayed by money instead of fanboy opinions. In order to get the full scope, you need to read user reviews (or at least, less-professional reviewers like AngryJoe) and journalists to get a full understanding. Journalists aren't always right, and as we've seen from the GameSpot Kane and Lynch debacle, they are far from perfect.
