Thats the difference, games are expensive and to a degree are quite a bit less subjective than a movie, regardless of the subject in the game most players look for similiar qualities in a game. Therefore if independent game reviewers are negative about a game, its not usually that great in general, a film on the other hand doesn't quite fall into the same parameters.
