There's no such thing as "overly" critical. The important thing to do is apply a series of reasonable critical criteria to a product, and draw upon extended experience with other products of a similar type for comparisons and contrasts. Where most online game reviews fail, in my opinion, is that they display no apparent critical evaluative criteria beyond "how are the graphics?" and "does it do multiplayer?" while demonstrating all sorts of inaccuracies about their genre's history.
