When I used to review games, it wasn't uncommon for my "50% is average!" scores to get bumped up by the editors, especially if the game in question was a heavily-hyped popular production with a large existing fanbase. This filled me with a smattering of almond-flavoured cynicism regarding game reviews, which is why it's so nice to find ActionButton, a site best described as "game reviews for gaming snobs". While they still seem to be finding their voice, their reviews of Twilight Princess, God of War 2, GTA:LCS, and DEFCON all deliciously run contrary to popular opinion, and are the reviews that I most agree with.
They're not curmudgeonly trolls, either - they have glowing reviews of Gears of War, Balloon Fight and Mount and Blade.

Hi Glen,
You seem to ignore my email sent to you. So I post my message here: (sorry for OT)
I would like to draw your attention to my this idea regarding providing a Talkback feature for every Google News item:
