Well, Gamespot seems pretty determined to ban me so I'll just post this and read while I await the Gestapo's hammer.

How can GS give Uncharted an 8.0 and Halo 3 a 9.5? When everyone and their grandma will tell you Uncharted is the better game overall? Enquiring minds want to know?

If they gave Drake's a 9.0 I would say that is still too low but I wouldn't care. But an 8.0??? Can the reviewers here at Gamespot not objectively review a PS3 game without the anti-PS3 bias showing through?

Personally, gamespot has been discredited in my eyes for quite some time. Sheep and Lemmings can post all sorts of garbage about PS3 for days on end and not get banned. Cows get banned for simply pointing out lies. I got moderated recently for two things: pointing out how someone had faked a PS3 vs. Nintendo(N64?) comparison(maybe because I also called that fake comparison "retarded") and I also got banned for trolling on an Xbox 360 forum and pointing out how the idea that 360s die because they are connected to surge protectors is baloney because PS3's don't die when connected to surge protectors. And I got my comment deleted there for Trolling. Yet I see sheep and lemmings trolling all over the place.

So does Gamespot just want a readership of hardcore blind fanboys or what?

I'm actually glad to see things imploding on Gamespot. Maybe that will help bring some objectivity back to this site full of irrational fanboys.

Excellent contradiction. If you don't like it, then leave. Common decency.

Sure they can, when they start releasing proper ones and not over colourful CGI fests that can be finished in under 10 hours you;ll see the scores increase.

Too many games released recently seem to be trying to get the casuals back from the Wii.

And what game might you be talking about? Halo 3 isn't on the PS3 you know.

Life is just a great big conspiracy against Sony and you. And now the question...can YOU objectively view games other than on the console you own? I think not since you ask for a score that games get when they are a COMPLETE package or bring something special. Gears of War short? Hell yes but the multiplayer made up for that. Bioshock no mp? Who cares when the story and gameplay are so well crafted. Uncharted? Good game that takes elements from Gears and Tomb Raider. Grow up its a good game but its nothing special. Id like The Witcher to get 9.5 but I know it doesnt deserve although it still is imo the best game of the year.

The only review that I disagree with is Uncharted..I cannot say if RFOM deserved a 9.0 because I have never played PDZ so I could compare the two.

I can easily see why Days does this. You write a well-thought out and balanced reply to someone's thread on here then they either ignore it since they have no counter-argument or they start using geek speak: 'U r noobb fanboyy, halo 3 soxxx'. You just can't win, just goes to show the average age of certain console owners eh?

lmao complaining about 8.0 for uncharted? you should be lucky it got that high, its the only objective review i have seen. scoring this game 9.0 or higher is an EMBARASSMENT to other games that are rated that high. dont even get me started on r&c getting rated higher then 9.0. Its just sad. You need to play some decent games, not short 8 hour single player games that you will never play again.

edit- oh man you said uncharted getting a 9.0 is still too low? Your just a blind fanboy, thinking every game for his system is the greatest game in the world. Youare unable to look at the game objectively like reviewers.

Well, they couldn't score it higher then ME because that is just the better game and ME got a 8.5...... sooooo...

Why are you comparing PDZ to RFOM? You should compare GeoW with RFOM which is why it got destroyed.

Either you're kidding and didn't indicate it...or you're just giving into all the speculation that's around us right now. If that's the case, congrats on basing your view on what you've HEARD and not what you KNOW.

What? You make no sense. Uncharted and ME are different genres...so are RFOM and Gears....that is like saying how did Warioware get a 9.2(seriously, how)and Zelda an 8.8.

Basically, competing game developers have been pouring their money into GS to increase their review scores and obviously, they would do the same with their competitor's games giving them a lower score... look at a lot of PS3 games...

R&C with the lame excuse of "identity crisis" and Uncharted "AI is too smart" crap...
