If a journalist were reviewing a product which goes against the typical crap that is out there, they'd recognize what is going on with the product. But a fanboy dweeb who has never really given consideration to design, and who has merely copied the expected and already published materials, that same product will be harshly wracked.   If we want more powerful works than just the typically conformist drivel, then we need to take a different tack with reviews. Otherwise, the common denominator will become the standard, and the same old crap will bore the heck out of everyone. Quiet a few professionals in the industry concur. For instance, Ryan Dancey has said that 95% of the stuff out there is crap.</blockquote>
