The chart above, prepared by a site called GameFunk, was compiled using data from GameRankings.com. It begs the question: is the Wii library terrible, or is something else happening here?

Put me, unsurprisingly, in the "something else" column. First, I know of more than a few Wii games that deserve better rankings and reviews but didn't get them. There is a real problem with casual games: competent but not "great" casual games get very low review scores. Compare that to competent but not great First Person Shooters, for instance. I think Prey is a good example. solid game. Maybe it isn't brilliant. Still going to bet solid reviews.

Whereas Carnival Games, which is fun but not brilliant, got almost univerally low reviews.
