Game Commando's do a quite good job of reviewing muds. They do specific
reviews by the team at Game Commando's and they also allow players and
admins to write in their own reviews. Gives an overall quite balanced
view. Thier reviews, on the most part, are not that heavily biased.

One of the admins of Game Commandos also did an interesting article on how
to write balanced and not too biased reviews for Imaginary Realities.
