Wow dude, your argument has more holes in it than the freakin titanic. First off, as so many others have said, there's no way any game can be considered a "flop" from one little review and much less before it is even in most peoples hands. Your stating that it's a flop because of an IGN review is just as relevant as someone stating it's great from a GS review.
Next on the list of your flaws: You yourself said something along the lines of not just counting one review, but the reviews overall to judge whether a game is worth buying, such as "metacritic". Well it's a sad day for your early jump to judgement, since Metacritic has Dark Sectore at only 0.1 points ahead of Viking, and when you look at which one has the higher individual scores, it's *gasp* Viking.
Oh, last thing: you make a remark like you did about Uncharted being compared with Halo 3 in overhype, and how Uncharted was way better, even citing that critics liked Uncharted better. Well buddy, you'd better check your Metacritic again, because Halo 3 has your Uncharted beat 94-88. Seems critics liked the other game better.
Point is, you can't run around screaming the "relevance" of critics when it suits your point, and discard it when it hurts you and your opinion. It's one or the other. Oh, and you should probably think more before you speak in the future, and by "think" I mean wait until more than 1 review is out the day before a game is released before you start screaming "FLOP" to the world, especially when comparing it to another mediocre game.
'Nuff said.
