I'm a lone voice in the Watch Wilderness: I LIKE action-RPGs…..better in most cases than the elitist snobs that I work for. Just kidding, guys…

But that's a point well-taken and one that a lot of people miss. The particular definition that a reviewer brings to a game will determine how well they like it. I would, for instance, be a poor judge of any in the Gothic series since the first one left me cold all the way 'round. It's a matter of perspective.
