Comment: The reviews are all made by contributors, which essentially means they aren't subject to as much of an editorial process, if any, as reviews made by the publications themselves. The Indie Informer's review was not a contributor, but looking at the website it doesn't seem to be a reliable source.See WP:GNG for a detailed description of what would make a reliable source.
