Yes, but for me, this review
did that. It
did tell me things that weren't in other reviews, so I don't see it as superfluous.
OTOH, you do have a point in that it would be nice to see more reviews of other things; endless reviews of the same product do get old if they're just repeating the same criticisms. I just don't think that justifies going to the other extreme and saying that there's
no room for further reviews of the D&D 4E PHB, period. This one did, IMO, bring some things to the table that other reviews had not, and it did give me some new information I had not been previously aware of.
But while I may think it a bit much to suggest the RPGnet community should "agree to stop with the 4th Edition PHB reviews" altogether, I will agree that at the very least would-be reviewers should think long and hard before posting yet another D&D 4E PHB review and make sure they really do have something new to say...
