Actually, author-reviews have been around for quite a while now. While they have to be taken with a grain of salt, obviously, they can often be the only way the gaming community hears about a new independent game. And it's much better than the alternative of sock-puppet or shill reviews.
Think of them less as "reviews" and more as "designers notes".
