Is anticipation killing reviews?

Gamernode writes: 'There was a time when game reviews were based solely on one aspect: entertainment value. Those were the days when game review scores were evenly distributed; some games were great (Super Mario 64, Half-Life, Sky Roads) and others were deemed horrible without a thought (ET, Superman 64, Rise of the Robots).
Enter the 21st century. Previews of upcoming games are being pumped to the masses at a constant pace. Every developer states, quite strongly, that their game is the one that will give you a jovial feeling when you merely look at the DVD case in your hands, and the masses, so it would seem, believe them without question.
