Not in a "my distro is better then yours" manner, but simply stating facts. I think that would be more useful than general reviews that all cover about the same thing (installs ok, found hardware, comes with lots of packages, etc.) For example, are there compelling reasons for me to move from Ubuntu to Sabayon? Maybe so, maybe no. I couldn't tell from reading the review. But a comparison wiki, that was updated with each distro's release, would probably provide those answers.

When I try GNOME/Metiise and KDE/Metisse sessions it can't load. Probably it is VideoCard related, I do not know. FX5700.

It's pretty much the best you're going to get in this area. Nobody really wants to do reviews like "Ubuntu to Sabayon: Why You Should Switch," because that pisses people off in a bad way. The best way is to read a few reviews of each (DistroWatch has links to reviews for each distro, or you can just use google) and do the comparison yourself. Everyone is different, and comparing two distros is significantly more personal than weighing the pros and cons of a particular distro.
