You've done your homework...Shall I send a t-shirt?

But really, I don't think the particular games matter for this discussion. The point I was trying to make is that review sites owned by game publishers should be very careful. I'll never know if the discrepency between saying a 120 page manual

helps enormously

and a 130 page manual will

put the Fear of God into You

was intentional. It's very possible it was not. Do I think it was intentional?

What this says to me is that entities where ownership may be perceived as being biased should exercise extreme caution by holding each review to a static list of criteria. We are very aware of this as we plan the launch of TGN and will expect our readers to hold us to our claims of objectivity. We don't claim that we will always be perfect; no one is. But we promise the relationship between the site and Shrapnel Games will be visible so that you, the reader, will be able to draw informed conclusions. We will expect to hear from you when we're not.
