Poll of the Day > Games with very polarising review scores!

(+) Yeah! (+)

I am a little shocked and surprised by how polarising some scores are that games can receive! Some examples:

Yooka-Laylee 8/10 Game Informer & 2/10 Jim Sterling
Mass Effect Andromeda 8/10 Game Informer & 2/5 Giant Bomb
Alien Isolation 8/10 Eurogamer & 5.9 IGN
Until Dawn 9/10 Game Informer & 2/5 Digital Spy
Root Letter 8.5/10 God Is A Geek & 3/10 TheSixthAxis
The Little Acre 9/10 PSNation & 4/10 Push Square
Dead Synchronicity 9/10 GameSpew & 3/10 GameCritics
Knee Deep 8/10 PlayStation Universe & 3/10 Push Square
Gone Home 9/10 OPM & 50% The Koalition
Duke Nukem 3D World Tour 9/10 GameCritics & 6/10 Push Square
Mad Max 8.4 IGN & 5/10 Polygon
No Man's Sky 8/10 OPM & 5/10 Jim Sterling
Ratchet & Clank 9/10 IGN & 6/10 Edge
Steins Gate 0 9/10 TheSixthAxis & 5/10 PlayStation Lifestyle
Late Shift 8/10 GameCritics & 4/10 Push Square
Romance Of The Three Kingdoms XIII 8/10 Push Square & 5/10 PlayStation Universe

Let's not forget Deadly Premonition on PS3! 7/10 Edge & 2/10 IGN

1) So which websites/magazines do you trust and follow when it comes to reviews ?
2) Do you have any favorite journalists that share your tastes?
3) Do you refuse to listen to/read ANY reviews and simply go out and play everything for yourself?


Also I don't know if it's just me or not but especially back in the 8bit/16 bit days when I used to read games magazines, nearly every game magazine back in the day usually gave out very similar scores to games and rarely had polarising scores that seems to happen nowadays. I wonder why that is?

I'm the only one who knows better, why can't I get job writing reviews?
