Video Game Reviewer Bias Sheet

I'd like to propose that all reviewers of video games keep a public record of their biases towards certain types and genres of video games. Video game publishers always complain whenever they get a review from someone who doesn't especially like their genre, so reviewers should just fill out a standard sheet with what genres they think they like the most. Here's the general format I've come up with:

1-10 scale with 10 most favorable towards that genre, 1 least, and 5 meaning that it is entirely dependent on the game and the reviewer doesn't feel any bias towards or against that genre. I've filled out my perceived biases for several genres here for an example.


Action-adventure: 5
Beat-em-up/hack 'n' slash: 4
Fighter: 3
FPS: 9
Third person shooter: 9
Adventure: 5
Simulation: 10
RPG: 7
MMORPG: 5
RTS: 8
TBS: 10
Rhythm: 6
Puzzle: 5
Sports: 6 (favorite sport may also be necessary)
Racing: 6
Pro-independent/anti-major game companies: 7

That would probably be the basis of a review bias sheet if one were to be created. I just think that would help assign the correct reviewers to their sort of games, and hopefully not exclude reviewers from reviewing all that they can anyway. I have a feeling this sort of thing exists where there are lots of reviewers anyway in a less formal way, because the magazines/websites still don't want the wrong reviewer for a game. A clear example of this is whenever Yahtzee Croshaw reviews anything that's not an FPS. Watch his review of any RPG and you'll see what I mean, then probably send him more hate mail.
