I'm glad to see that most of you still trust gaming reviews.  We all have our favorite sources when it comes to reviews, and it can be difficult to find quality reviews in some cases.  Everyone has an opinion, but not everyone can write that opinion out in an informative and entertaining way.  Personally I tend to take away more from actual written text than any kind of numerical score.  One of my friends is always rating games as, say, a 7.2 or a 9.1, but he can't back up those numbers with solid reasoning and explain why he chose those specific numbers.  Numbers mean nothing without the criticism or praise to back them up.

Moving on, let's talk about stories.  More specifically, let's talk about the kinds of stories in our favorite games.  There's wacky silly stories about turtle kings kidnapping princesses, serious tales that take place during World War II or a zombie invasion, and then of course some games have no actual story at all (unless you can somehow explain why those Tetris pieces are falling, of course).  When it comes to the silly and the serious, which do you prefer?  Let's hear your thoughts.
