At this point, I think most of us can get a pretty good idea, reading a review, whether we're going to trust the writer. Sometimes, though, that writer just isn't qualified to be writing the piece. I remember reading a Neverwinter Nights review sometime ago that gave the game something like a 5 of 10. It became clear while reading the piece that the writer's problem was with the core mechanic of the game — the whole D&D 3.5 simulation thing. The review wasn't of the game itself but rather the fact that it "let you see the dice," something fans of the title expected. The same would go for me reviewing a football title. I don't know a single thing about the sport or how the games work. An interesting piece? Maybe, if I curse enough, but not an accurate review.
