The left panel represents the game sites paychecks.

Both left and right are equally worthless these days.

Are these games better than WoW or TOR?

In some aspects yes....

Rift has an amazing class system and dynamic world events.
Eve has a completely player driven content via all the political intrigue in game
DCUO: Never played
EQ2: Has a HUGE world, a gazillion quests, heritage quests....a housing system that puts even the newest games to shame.

How much content have they played thru? did they play to level 50?
They are PAID to do it. That's different then the GAMER's that are actually interested in it and will have an open mind as well as open eyes to whats good/bad about the game.

Fanboys/Haters...are not gamers...

I am kinda laughing at this. The mere fact a game appears to be popular will influence a review, or do you think the 8.5 Gamespot gave Warhammer was justified?

Really you making a bizarre assumption that the folks that run these review sites give a fig about honesty or integrity when the bottom line in well... on the line.

I mean G4tv gave the game 5/5. That would mean it is utterly perfect in every respect.

I still cannot believe you are trying to defend professional review sites. They are like user reviews nearly worthless.

The pro mags are influenced by the industry, and there is corruption, no doubt. But the fact that they can be called on it is important. And for the most part the pro reviewers have detailed and accurate comments on the games they are reviewing.

And has it changed one thing because they have been caught? Ummmm.....No. They keep merrily churning out crap and slap a "professional" stamp on it. It's been this way since the 1980's. It's just gotten worse as gaming has become big, and I mean freaking huge business.

Ignore the 0-3 and the 9-10 user reviews and actually read what the people giving it a score of 4-7 are writing and it pretty much hits the nail on the head. There are issues with this game. There are basic MMO features that are missing from this game. The "professional" reviewers are glossing over that and giving it a 88/100 while not really saying a damn thing. They are basically polishing EA's apple because they are more worried about losing those nice big fat advertising dollars that EA showers them with.

What kickbacks and payola are the player reviewers getting out of it? Yeah....
. All hail the hypnodot.

Collusion is not an illusion.
