I think you must be a hardcore strategy fan to like Dominions.

That's irrelevant. Liking a game, disliking a game - these are important things to include in a review, though I've given good reviews to games that I didn't like, because they seemed to be excellent specimens of genres that I found boring. But reviewing a TBS on the assumption that it is an RPG, or reviewing a pickup truck based on how well it works as a pool toy, or high-octance gasoline based on its taste and smell - these things are just stupid. It doesn't matter how much you dislike a particular brand of gasoline, or whether you're a "high-octane" afficionado; you still shouldn't base your published opinion of its quality on how much you enjoy swishing it around in your mouth.

Right. I myself will write a Dom2 review for a French mag, but won't rate the game based on how the CD tastes when fried (with potatoes and garlic) ..
