Reviewers often miss out / fail to report on important aspects of games in their reviews. Local Co-op is a big plus for me and a major factor in a game purchase...I just got burned by COD:WAW with its terrible design decisions applied to split-screen mode in the local co-op (it's unplayable even on a 38" screen.)
I've read a lot of reviews of the game and nobody mentioned this aspect whatsoever.
I haven't seen one review of Left4Dead that mentions its great guest option for online splitscreen (two players on-line with just one gamertag). Features like this elevate games from try-to-buy for me and rarely if ever get a mention in reviews.
I guess my point is that a lot of reviewers fail to give an accurate description of what a product offers to consumers in their reviews.
GTA4 and Far Cry 2 have made me extremely wary of game-reviews and taught me to take 'em all with a pinch of salt...
I suggest the Fanboys do the same.
