I usually won't come often to defend skybird. But if he posted his personal, subjective opinions in his review, he has to apologize to nobody.
Because that is what I am interested in. Not the average reviews ( that includes subsim / wargamer reviews) that always give ratings between 70-100%, like there are no bad games.
These reviews might be very detailed and elaborate, but at the end I am as smart as before. Because even if the reviewer didn't like the game, he/she was much too afraid to step on anyones toes, and dodged the issue.
To hell with that. Bring on subjective honest opinions, and conclude reviews with a plain statement how you liked the game. Even if that means writing that you hated it, with the result that a lot of people will disagree with you.
It's a bit like rating music, women, food, etc. You might make elaborate considerations, but in the end it's only taste that matters.
