User reviews are suspect.

This is one of the reasons I'm glad that Steam started cracking down on reviews that were just some stupid ASCII art and reviews that were just one big joke -- neither of them help people understand whether a game is good and there's just so much of that trash in the reviews. It's a small change but so far it's been positive.
