Played any game that you loved and witnessing its low review score? If anyone of you played Clive barker's Jericho and seen the gamespot review........... this would be a great example of a good game that has recieved a low rating. Thats just my opinion! for me a 6.5 rating isnt enough for a game that is very unique in its approach to first person horror/shooters. this isnt to question the gamespot reviewing decisions....... and I know that some of you has their own sentiments about other games that recieved an awfull low score.......... let me hear them!!

Jericho and especially Timeshift. Timeshift is undeniably an AAA game, better than all the FEAR games combined.

I also think Ubersoldier is a VERY fun arcade shooter, and The Club is awesome and unique.

Kane and Lynch had a great story, but too many things dealing with gameplay bumped that down considerably. While I don't think it's worth the 6 (and that whole mess following...) it was a decent game that left much to be desired for. I hope the sequel really changes things up like IO did for the Hitman series.

Another one.. Mass Effect :P Sure there were technical flaws, but at the very least it still should have been a 9 (on Xbox)

the late eidos best fps work before they closed shop: deadwatch (8.0) and urban chaos: riot response (8.4)

shogo: mobile armor division (come see how monolith became what it is now in this daring fps crossing mech combat with hilarity and warzones)

What horror? Being raped by a dead chick?:P

The gameplay is the same - shoot people in the face using slow-mo.

Why do you think the FEAR games are better? Timeshift has better guns, better (and more) time powers, better AI (very aggresive and smart), better and more varied level design. And it also has COLOURS! The story is just as crappy, but at least Timeshift has an interesting concept and setting.

And you can shoot people in the face through walls!

Thief 2 and 3 should have had scores well into the 90s. Same with Deus Ex 1.

Okay, so Mount and Blade is not the most polished game in the world, but I say it deserved at least a 7.0. I mean, this is a game that is playable and fun in spite of its faults.

It's mediocre bevause its unpolished, not because its core gameplay is uninspired.

Mount and Blade definitely, deserves at least 8.0, or at least 7.5. (I easily spend more time playing M&B than Morrowind and Oblivion combined)

Deus Ex, I think Gamespot under rated this game, I think it deserves 9.0 or 9.5. Though 8.2 is not bad

Battlezone 2 is way under rated. The game has/had one of the best multiplayer IMO.

Two Worlds

Just my 2 cents though no one might care. I played FEAR 1, its a fun game, good simple shooter. But The horror element wasnt that great IMO, the horror element annoyed me. The little girl was just a copy from many movies like the Ring.

Jericho is terrible, mainly due to your frustratingly bad squad AI. The enemy AI isn't much better either. The atmosphere was pretty good, and the story was alright, but i'd say a 6/10 is about right.

SimCity 2000. 72/10 would've been a more accurate score than the 7.2 it got.

I thought Frontlines-Fuel of War was an underrated game. Even though GameSpot didn't review the PC version(which I think is really good), they gave the X-Box 360 version a 7.5 review score. In my opinion the game deserved at least an 8.5 or better.

"jericho is terrible mainly due to your frustrating bad squad ai" come on....... apart from that it had good ideas and great graphics i wouldnt call it terrible just because of that.

I agree on timeshift. Great gameplay and guns....... though the ending is uninspired. still it deserved a better score. the same in Jericho. Great character specializations making every switch a different experience. but small manuverability killed the tactical effect... .............. still i would give it 8.5. though I think FEAR is different in gameplay to be compared to Jericho. I play FEAR for the chills and freaky moments. I looked for more action in jericho.

Jericho feels rushed, it's like they cut the funds halfway through developement. It's obvious the levels were intended to be much bigger, there are a lot of walls and fences behind which you can see other unfinished areas.
