@ Quiiick
Heh you got a point, there are a shitload of games coming out this time of year. Worst comes to worst..if you are interested in something but are unsure, just rent the game, then you’ll get the main idea!

@ airdom
I don’t care if “7 and up is good”!
Just too many games out there, can’t buy/play ‘em all.

My rule of thumb:

10 = MUST buy/play
9 = SHOULD buy/play
8 = COULD buy/play
7 (and beyond) = DON’T buy/play

9 = the new 6

Holy shit people, RELAX, people are taking some scores wayyyy to seriously…7 and up is good..STOP COMPLAINING!

P.S: its up to you to try the game…if some game has a shitty score of 4/10 and you like it, well good for you! if you try a 9/10 game end you dont like it…well good for you! at least you tried it! Take the time to try out a game, too many people judge them on their scores!

I’m with Blerk on this one… If you can’t trust the official magazines, WHO can you trust?

No it’s not Blerk. See my earlier post for THE TRUTH behind this behaviour.

I think the Fable 2 score is more surprising, actually. An official rag scoring one of the winter’s biggest platform exclusives lower than Edge? It’s the end, I tell ya. The end.

Apparently, G1Ggsy is shocked it didn’t get a 10.

Oh, and 9 has been shit ever since a first party Sony game got awarded a 9/10. DUH.

I’m looking forward to seeing a fat pat and morriss after having ‘eaten everything’ though.

At the end of the day, does the fact that the official mag didn’t necessary give it the expected score affect anyone’s decision about the game?

Thought not.

Were people really expecting this to get a 10? And when did 9 become a bad score?

that’s surprising.

It’s a threat, Blerk.

What they’re really saying is “Christmas is coming and we want EXTRA special freebies and incentives or we’ll not bump the scores up like we usually do. You have a month. Clock’s ticking”

There does appear to be a sudden outbreak of honesty in the official rags this week. PS3 mags saying the 360 versions of games are better, now Xbox mags saying that major releases aren’t quite the second coming. What is the world coming to?

Blerk – Ah, yes. You’re right. I remember now. I thought they’d given it 10.

The EG score will be interesting.

They gave Fable 2 an 8… so not sure what to make of this.

By: Blerk

Blerk — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 11:45:34 +0000

What did they give the first one?

Edit: To answer my own question, they gave that a 9 too.

By: patlike

patlike — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 11:44:56 +0000

Not 10 though, is it?

By: Blerk

Blerk — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 11:43:55 +0000

Wait, is 9 not good now?
