Besides, games can only be compared to their genre. How many titles get reviewed solely based on multiplayer? Based on platformers and previous releases?
In 2004, many of the reviews simply explained why the game was good/bad.
I remember Metroid Prime Echos being chided for limited multiplayer at the END of reviews. The rest was comparing it to the precious title.
I do remember some of those reviews comparing it to Halo 2, but they stressed how different the games were.
It is dangerous to allow publishers to dictate how the market responds, by creating and prolonging fads.

@Dakt Absolutely.

Re: Rumour: More Claims Made For New Legend of Zelda on Wii U and NX, Gender Choice For Playable Character
@Shadowkiller97 I completely agree.
Re: Rumour: The Next Call Of Duty Game Is Boldly Venturing Into Space
@sandman89 I am in this, too. However it seems like they allocate developer resources accordingly.

@peeks Nice. I had the same thought.
Re: Review: Star Ghost (Wii U eShop)
All I can say is that this game feels like you are playing something special.
Buy it.
Re: Twilight Princess HD Nearly Had Wii Remote Controls
I hoped for an evolution on Wii Controls. Ret conning the scheme is odd.
That said, I like the original controls for this game, as motion and I schemes are different things.
Would have loved Metroid Prime Remastered U.

@Slave123
This game is horrible. I cannot get passed single digit frame rates.
It is so bad, that it has inspired my first post here. Words cannot accurately describe how awful this is.
