Plays a nice magazine, but they are FAR too generous with their reviews.

[QUOTE="HolyHandGrenad3"]The infamous Play magazine. Great source for reviews!BioShockOwnz

Althoug i myself dont factor in reviews when making purchases, I find that the ones the give are the most balanced and somewhat the most unbiased and fair.

Balanced and fair? Yes, Sonic and Tenchu Z both deserved scores above 8. :|

yah and gamespot thinks tonyhawk for ps2 is perfect :| and PDZ is AAA :|

I don't like play magazine.

Ugh. Their early reviews are THE most unreliable trash. They only hurt the PS3 with these kinds of reviews.

They seem to love everything they play.

You should really change the thread title to "For those who care for some reason, Play gave HS a 10."

I'm surprised cows haven't deemed Play the best magazine evar. Which is good, way to show common sense for once guys. :P

I do not think over reviewers will be quite so generous. It is probably going to be an AA title from most reviewers, cows should really be hyping it at that like I am. If GS gives it AAA then that is a good thing, but I would rather be safe then sorry.

It's good at least that whatever faction you are, we can agree that a review by Play = awful, even if it's a game you love.

Play gave Overlord a 9/10, so that means that Heavenly Sword is only mildly better than that game :lol:

Why bother posting any PS3 game scores on here because people on here can't really process a good score unless it is a bad score then these wonderful people will agree with that instantly!!!

LOL you lemmings use whatever reviews suit you to support your games and neglect the bad. And then when another PS3 game gets a good review from another source you say its crap. So ridiculous. Blue Dragon got pretty bad reviews in EGM btw. If it got a 10/10 from a magazine thats published around the US Id hardly say the game is crap. It is most likely not a 10/10 here but you cant deny that a review is a review.

Seriously. Sadly teamxbox and xbox mag is tougher on games then play.

Was that a joke lol?

All those magazines (including Play) are biased. Saying someone is slightly more biased than the other doesn't change the fact they are still biased. Halo 3 gets a perfect score.....wow, didn't see that coming.

Yet when Xbox mag gave Bioshock a perfect score most said, confirmed AAA-AAAA title. All the lems jumped on and agreed.

When Xbox mag gives Halo3 a perfect score.....you think Lems won't be out here claiming Halo3 owns?

I agree it's not a good idea to judge a game based on those biased sources however I honestly didn't see any complaints when that post said they scored Bioshock perfect.

Im sure all the other fanboys for the other systems would use it for MP3, BioShock or any of the other games coming out. All I can say at least its not a BAD sign for the game. At the very least you can admit that.

Well of course because if Play magazine pans one of its own games, it must be really really bad. I am sure this game is good (I have it pre-ordered), but you don't find anything funny about Play giving HS a 10?

That is completely true. It doesn't mean this game isn't rock solid awesome; however, you must take the review with a grain of salt.

Xbox Mag is far more reliable than Play. I would trust Xbox Mag reviewing Wii games more than Play.

Even better, according to them Heavenly Sword is only 1.5 points better than Sonic the Hedgehog for 360. Isn't that great?!

Gamespot gave Tony hawk 3 a perfect 10:| Reviewers are human, they make mistakes. just like all the 360 fans saying that Stranglehold PS3 was delayed yesterday.

The thing about a magazine like Play is: they often give out good reviews just so they can get free publicity for their magazine. Just yesterday, I was at Best Buy and I saw that the copies of Overlord for 360 have stickers on them that say "9/10 Play Magazine" on them. Seriously. Also, how many times do you see web ads or magazine ads that claim "9/10 ---Magazine" (fill in the blank with either: Play, Maxim, etc.). This is free publicity for their magazines.

Oh, and :lol: at Play magazine. What a joke.

  • Red Steel - 8.5
  • Bullet Witch - 8.5
  • Prey - 8.5
  • Rainbow Six Vegas - 8.5
  • Ninja Gaiden Sigma - 8.5
