She would roll her eyes at me SOO HARD.

The fact that Fuu is your favorite makes me happy.

I know Rick and Morty get a lot of love but by far Fuu is my favorite character you did. Great job!

I did movie reviews for a local news station, while doing it I found myself not rating the movies but rather comparing them with other films to help them find the right audience.

Do you think this approach could be applied to games instead of a numerical or boolean type rating system?

For example: Shadow Complex on Xbox live will appeal greatly to fans of Metroid/Vania style games but may not interest someone looking for a side scrolling call of duty.

Obviously.

Objective complaints are necessary and very fair. If a game has frame rate issues, it has frame rate issues. It would be a disservice to not say so.

But a large part of entertainmet is personal taste. Showing how a game (or movie) fits in with the over all palate (I think) really helps the right people find the right content. Some of my favorite games got 60% scores, they aren't blockbuster titles mind, but were so perfectly niche that I found them incredibly fun in the right context.

Like if someone could tell me if a survival horror game is more like Silent Hill than Resident Evil, it would instantly tell me if I would be interested in it or not.

I guess I find subjective opinion less useful.

The purpose of the review should be to help people who would enjoy the movie, find the movie; and prevent people who would not like the movie from watching the movie. A simple opinion is less useful because unless you have a well developed sense of what the reviewer's tastes are, you could be easily mislead.

I dunno. There is a lot more wrong with game reviews than subjective reviewing.
