The proportion of votes for negative vs positive reviews seem way off. I wouldn't be surprised if there was some vote brigading going on for whatever reason. Either that or people mindlessly vote for the longest review.

Seriously. I posted a short review about how I liked the game (with some minor reservations) and immediately got, like, 3 downvotes.
Gamers these days are children.

That is why you were downvoted. Blow's fans are children.

Nah, it couldn't at ALL be that people simply did not find it to be all that brilliant. It simply must be either a conspiracy or the masses are idiots.
Looking through some of the positive and negative reviews, it seems like the positive reviews are fairly short and don't say much about the game, while the negative reviews are longer and the reviewers do mention what they thought did and didn't work about the game, so the longer reviews that have a negative opinion end up being the most helpful. Just telling someone you liked something isn't going to cut it for everyone.
I can only guess that everyone who wanted to write a more in-depth positive review was just so keen to get back to playing the game that they cut their review short ;)
