Am I becoming 'the' critic?

Homer Simpson became 'THE' critic. Have I?

After posting my third review of the week yesterday, and not being overly gushing yet again and perhaps being critical of a product, I got to thinking about whether reviewing things was changing how I perceive products. If that wasn't enough to get me thinking I also received email off of somebody. Not a very pleasant one if I'm honest! I kind of expect to get the odd death threat and people disagreeing with me, after all it's the Internet. So the question arises... am I becoming 'THE' critic? You know, the one person that has nothing good to say about anything? You see I don't think I'm a massively negative person in real life, and despite 2011 being one long never ending stream of shit heaped upon a mountain of misery and suffering... I think I've remained fairly upbeat and positive in the main. True my balls are sore from life kicking me there so often, but honestly I like it a little bit rough!

I guess I'm a bit concerned that of late maybe I've come across as negative. I think I've been honest and fair in my deliberations, but I guess it's possible that I've become a little bit harsh. So I'm just putting this out there really and asking for some honest feedback, from you guys who read my blog. Because I've had some people say I was over the top with Dreadfleet, massively unfair on Super Dungeon Explore and just plain mean to Descent: Journeys in the Dark. There have also been people who have accused me of being a little bit harsh on the first two Dungeons & Dragons games. I fully accept I'm a bit blunt in my assessments, but if I'm coming across all bitter and twisted then I'm doing something horribly wrong with my articles, because that's not me. It's certainly not where my hobby is at right now either. So come on, be honest with me, have I become a jaded wizened grumpy old gamer who just wants to be mean and nasty? Peace out!
