The Soapbox: This is how reviews actually work (Massively)
In short, unbiased bullet points don't constitute a review. They're also something that Google can deliver to you inside of 30 seconds. When you want a more complete picture of a given entertainment product, turn to a professional review. Just realize going in that all reviews are by definition subjective, and that subjectivity is both OK and the only thing of value that reviews bring to the table.
This is a bit of a hot topic because some commenters at Massively have been saying that recent reviews have been 'biased'. In reality, all viewpoints have bias, I have to agree with the author.
