Walk up to her quietly from behind and breathe heavily on the back of her neck and whisper "amore"

Their next game better have rocket boots!

I made that up.

Proof?

IGN is sponsored by Best Buy.

Who has a stake in Best Buy?

Bingo!

Microsoft.


Thus explaining the good scores for almost every one of Microsoft's games.

They are also sponsored by Nintendo, Nvidia, THQ, Ubisoft, EA and 2K. OP's proof has been invalidated.

A competitive players main goal is to win.
A casuals main goal is to have fun regardless of whether that results in a win or loss.
It has nothing to do with individual skill or knowledge, it has to do with the reason you play.

I care when I'm not sure if I should buy a game or not. But I don't go IGN to find out though, I'll usually watch reviews on youtube or ask here.

Then there are people who have similar taste of games as I do, for example, if I want to know if JRPG X is good, I'll ask Nephilim since he knows his -blam!- when it comes to those games.

I don't care, but I use the score to decide if it is complete garbage or worth buying.
