Video games are even less respected. (In fact, film reviewers still say “it looks like a video game” as a pejorative — they won’t say it about movies they like, even ones that look A WHOLE LOT like video games. District 9 is an obvious example.)

That said, I’m sure even reviews of “respectable” media are getting to be a tougher business. Print media in general are in a lot of trouble. Though I think game magazines have become obsolete much faster than other print media — the idea of waiting for a monthly magazine with still photos is an anachronism in an age of up-to-the-minute news with video.
