Do you think that reviews which paint a very pretty picture of a game, are more likely to win, than those which take objective criticism of a game?

Well, that depends.

There are some negative reviews for things, depends on how valid they are I think.

A decently argued reason for why something is bad cannot be faulted.

I agree, the old "IT sucks, I hate it" is no basis for a good review. But even constructive criticism seems to be taboo.

But a purely negative review is useless.

You should try to find something you liked about it, and if you cant, at least make a negative review constructive instead of just

IT sucks, I hate it.

This may be the case as SR are trying to SELL their products. I can't blame them if they do this but critisim is a point which should not be ignored espically in a review of a game, someone wants the 'honest' opinion.
