the other versions? Such as with the recent Godfather game that came out for the ps3. They went "If you've played the other versions, there's not enough to make you want to play this" or something like that. Then they gave it a lower score because of that assumption. They always do that too with special editions of games that come out a little while after the original...They'll go "If you've played the original, there's not enough new content to make you come back". Ahhhhhhhhhh! It would help if they had a seperate score for the new guys sometimes.

GameSpot is biased a lot of the times in their reviews,which is why it's just their opinion after all and not fact.

I've notice this alot. Gamespot's reviews aren't accurate like they use to. Unless they're hiring lazy workers.

Well you shouldn't be mad about that. If they say "there isn't enough new content to warrant a purchase if you've played the others" that means that this version is essentially the same game but since they feel it's a rehash they don't give it the originiality score. basically it still means it's a good game jsut the score doesn't show it cuz it's all been seen before.
