Reviewers checking out 350 games a year also explains something I was wondering about, why reviewers do reviews that have the content one might expect if someone had just played the game once and didn't think really hard about how to play well (heavy focus on theme, explain some of the mechanics / rules, but generally don't try to point out what the meaty decisions are and are wrong about what's important on the rare occasions where they try to point out what's actually important in the game).
