It's based on critic reviews of games published by them so it makes complete sense. It's not like anybody voted them the best or anything.

Yup. If it was voted, it would have been a completely different story.

It just shows how much of a disconnect there is between game reviewers and the actual gamers.

There is a bit, yeah you are right. But I don't strongly disagree with the games that were mentioned in the article (well, the ones I played, anyway).

Sims 3. Nuff said.

Yeah, not all gamers' opinions are unanimous, but I think it kinda says something when a company that was voted 'Worst company in America' is the #1 publisher according to review ratings.

Then again, review ratings are not necessarily indicative of the reviewers' opinions of the actual company, but the large disparity between commercial review scores and user review scores should also be telling of something.
