Personally I think a lot of reviewers are just bribed, none of what you would consider to be the smaller titles get good reviews, yet a massive franchise like COD gets 8s and 9s everywhere you look, **** cockgobblers
I wouldn't really consider Dead Island a small title, plus Shadow of the Colossus got glowing reviews. I have to agree with major FPS titles though. They can't keep being consistent 9s, considering how little difference there is between them. It's encouraging stagnation. Reviewers rag on Pokemon being basically unchanged each generation (which I also agree with but still) yet say nothing about the minimal differences between COD titles.
