"If you read my review of [game x], you'll know..."

If you want to compare the game you're reviewing to another, that's fair enough. Comparison with something familiar is an effective way of explaining concepts, advice on which version of a game to buy is always useful, changes for better or worse in a sequel are good to read about. But fit those comparisons into the review in question - mentioning that you've written about it elsewhere is just annoying.

When the reviewer gets to the gameplay I seem to always have the luck of finding

"This is where the game really shines/fails miserably"

Whoa, I think i've been using a lot of these. I actually thought about them, but I guess I have to be more original.

"Well by the way, the reason of this is because of the fact that i think that this is true. "

LOL

"Aaah, [game name]..."

KILL IT KILL IT.

I dunno, just something about starting the review with "aah" makes the reviewer look like some grandparent reviewing a game to the grandkid on his knees. It just infuriates me.

Maybe I'll start my next review with;

"Gather 'round children for I shall tell you the story of [game name]"

Followed shortly by "This game doesn't really have much of a story".
