honestly, thats not too bad. I was expecting it to be like Edge or Sci Fi

I disagree w/ number one, but other than that, it's pretty acurate.

This year really was a good year fo ps3 and 360. I would've put SSBB on there instead of mario kart, but thats just me

Pretty random list. Mario Kart Wii beating out MGS 4 and Fallout 3? Wth? also Proffessor Layton that high. They completely left out on some major games though...nice to see a "different" list.

You sure? You see the "Cnet editors' rating", and the number of stars it got? Hold your mouse over the next line that says, "detailed editors' rating". You see what that is? The Gamespot score. Oh, and then there is the fact that the review is identical to Gamespots, and is written by the same person. I'm pretty sure they just use Gamespot's score. :P
gamespot is part of Cnet....shadow_hosi
Yep, which is why Cnet uses Gamespot's reviews.

cause GTA4 deserves the 10 spot and MGS4 deserves the top spot

Cnet editor's opinions I'm guessing. I expect Gamespot's to be very different.

I would expect Gamespots top 5 to look something like this

1.GTA4

2. MGS4

3. Fallout 3

4. Resistance 2

5. Gears 2

Any site that isn't a blog or joke site is fine enough. CNET is a pretty well known site, what exactly makes them unreliable? You probably use them for downloads or other articles, why not video game scores? ....

Professor Layton (and the Curious Village) is a adventure/puzzle game for the DS. It a very good game. I wish Nintendo would bring the second PL game to NA already.
