With the reviewing? They're so different. They may be different opinions, but they're way different to the other. And yes I know Xplay rates in 5 stars, but you only have to double it.

Star Wars: The Foce Unleashed
Gamespot 7.5/10
Xplay 4/10

Mercenaries 2: World in Flames
Gamespot 5.5/10
Xplay 6/10

Too Human (Even though it's for XBOX 360)
Gamespot 5/10
Xplay 8/10

For some weird reason Too Human and Mercs 2 both got better scores from Xplay than Star Wars... What do you think?

i think your wrong when you say double it. a 4/5 is different then a 8/10, but 1 point. besides that all 3 of those games such so i would not flip out on the score to begin with.

Even though I don't really care, but I'm bored so I'll respond. I think that maybe because of Adam praising Too Human for like 3 years might have something to do with it. He's been nuts for that game for quite some time and even met the head of Silicon Knights many times. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with it, but I could see that happening. I would probably do the same for MGS4 (cause I'm a fan of the franchise). Other than that, everybody else thought Too Human was terrible and full of bugs. Just heard a lot of "trying to do too much at the same time"

That's why I hate /5 reviews, it's too strict. Compare it to school. Imagine only passing with an A+, B-, D-, or F. Not cool eh? :)

Rating systems are different all across the board. I don't remember the sites off the top of my head, but I know some do a rating out of 100. Some do 10, some do 5. I guess it's for whatever rating system you like the best.

Well, they're different because different persons reviewed them! Like I always say, there ain't such things as good or bad games. There's only games and different opinions. And even if a majority of people think one way, it doesn't make that way a universal standard.

By the way, if you like to consult reviews, you should use sites like GameRankings or MetaCritic where they make an average score based on a miriad of different reviews. Much more "precise" if you ask me.

star wars force sucked badly. just one big game based on a gimmicky feature. thats not gaming, thats called eye candy. and it gets old fast.

too human has far more gaming mechanics going on and mercs its still pretty bad, yet its a lot of fun to play co-op and work together blwing crap up. co-op makes every game fun though.

I hated playing the force unleashed. I was upset I rented it which saved me money as I wanted to buy it at one point but heard it was bad from early reviews. It was so painful playing it that I couldn't get into the story. I found the whole thing boring but that is just me.

i don't think adam writes his own review...thats just my opinion...somebody must be doin those witty humor other than him

xplay reviews...meh soo not thorough...theyll give a 5 minute review with 3 and a half minutes full of "whats wrong" and 1 minute of humor...only give that game a 4/5
