LostWinds = 5.5 from GS. I never listen to GS ratings (Boom Blox was a 7.0 or something).

I heard it was only 2-3 hours but thats good for $10.

Why else would it be a 5.5? Im going to DL it this week. Also, what would you rate it?

Sorry if there is a topic for this already, didnt see any.

The person that rated lostwinds probably wasn't into that kind of genre, but the real purpose of wiiware is for everyone to find a game from a genre that they like.

I just wish the reviewer could mention just ONCE that the game is only 10 dollars.

This is why I follow IGN reviews more. It seems like they actually play the game to enjoy it, not play the game just to get through it.

The review should be rewritten, with a little box for "2nd opinion" by the original reviewer saying he didn't like it much. The new review should score it at least 7.0.

Do GS ever change their reviews?

Even if a reviewer doesn't like the genre or the idea, but can see its well implemented, he shouldn't score the game down.

Do you want some good 10 dollars?

http://www.steampowered.com/v/index.php?area=app&AppId=4000&cc=US

1000's of hours? That's good for ten bucks.

All of that aside, Lost winds looks great. I would buy it. It seems kinda short, don't it? I'm just saying, good games aside, thee are some better things to buy.

If it was like 7 or something, they would definantly have my monies.

Gamespot wouldn't change their review. It would call their integrity into question.

I was aware of GameSpot's score even before I purchased LostWinds. But guess what? I got the game anyway, and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Take that, GS! Ho ho!

$3? Really? Three dollars makes that much of a difference for you?

What can you even buy with $3 these days anyway?

But I will agree that Garry's Mod is well worth the money, and then some.

Only problem is, you need to buy Half-life 2 first. The positive part of that though? HL2 is also awesome.

Yes they eventually do. I know for a fact they did with Mario Kart 64 and GTAIV. There are more games with reviews/scores changed, but I can't guarantee which ones.

The person who reviewed it is a known anti-Nintendo poster on NeoGAF, so I wouldn't give the review too much credibility. In fact I wouldn't give any new Gamespot reviews much credibility ever since you-know-what happened.
