What a crock of shit. All opinions do not matter as much as every other. They are all not equal in merit, reason, or logical basis.
This nonsense is often put forth under the misleading idea that social egalitarianism should extend into the realm of ideas. Bully for them. This is the reason political discourse in countries like the US is at a standstill. Everyone believing their lunatic asshat opinions matter, and the intellectual arbiters believe that in order to be 'fair', they have to sit and listen to each mouthbreather and their 'opinion'.
You're talking as if there is a distinct elite among game critics. There may be differences in writing quality and credibility (although longevity and industry presence certainly doesn't stop IGN from publishing reviews of atrocious quality, nor has it prevented Eurogamer from posting reviews with factual inaccuracies), but when it comes right down to it, anyone can offer an honest and useful buyer's guide.
Add to that the fact that many of the unknowns are simply new writers, and may actually be capable of offering the most honest reviews due to being far less bogged down by historical precedence, and preconceived notions based on developer pedigree (or familiarity/buddyship).
So yeah, let's see all the reviews. It's typically not very difficult to separate the good from the bad.
