I think there's a possibility that Uncharted 3 could get a 10, but a 9.5 is a lot more realistic.

If Skyrim doesn't get a 10 I would be shocked. That game simply looks epic.

I doubt it. Plenty of 8.5's and a few AAA scores.

I highly doubt it.

Skyward Sword just straight up won't get one here, no matter how good it is (it could be the greatest game ever made and it wouldn't score a 10 here).

Uncharted 3 won't get one.

Gears 3 won't get one.

Dark Souls will probably score worse than Demon's Souls did.

Skyrim will be unplayable without mods, so it won't get a 10. it will score well here, however.

It's the end of the generation, folks, which means that GameSpot's expectations have suddenly become impossibly high. The best we can hope to see are some AAA scores, but there will be many, many more flops. Anyone who hypes anything AAA here right now is out of their damn mind.

Skyward Sword is the only game that it could get one, and i don't see GS giving it anything more than a 9.0, so in other words, nop, i don't think an game this year will get a 10

I consider any Elder Scrolls games without mods unplayable. The community has always had to fix TES titles.

Doubt it. We may see a 9.5 for Uncharted 3 and possibly the PC version of BF3, but other than that, I see nothing other than 9.0s or lower for the rest of the "big" games this year.

10 doesn't mean perfect. Anyways, TC, if the Last Guardian came out this year, I would have said yes. But since it isn't, I'll say no but BF3, Skyrim, and Dark Souls will come close.

They've been working on fixing the games bugs for several months already. And actual game has been done for awhile. They learned from their past games.

I wouldn't be shocked if it didn't. If Oblivion is any indication, quests will be pretty hit or miss in terms of quality. For example, I found Oblivion's the main quest to be pretty bad, while some of the guild quests to be pretty good. The enemy encounters were pretty ho-hum as well as you fight fairly standard mobs all game long.

It doesn't matter how good the game is. Uncharted 3 will not live up to expectations placed on end of the generation games. It will not score a 10 here.

Simply put thats a lame excuse that it doesn't mean perfection that Review sites tried to put forward to forstall people from calling them out on it.
Even on gamespot at one time the moniker below 10 was....PERFECT.

1-10 Obviously 10 means the zentih, the most therefor it means perfect saying but it doesn't mean perfect means nothing cause it does mean perfect when a game gets 10 it means perfection and thats flawed.
There is no point to a 10 system and pefect monikers Gamespot should have started out with a 1-5 stars and never used perfect monikers like they used too because it ruined the whole system.

A 10/10 is 'Editor's Choice' not 'Perfect'. And I don't remember reading the word 'perfect' in any of those reviews.

A ten does not mean perfect. If you ever received a 100% on a paper you wrote in school, did you take it to mean it was perfect and impossible to improve upon? I'd certainly hope not. Most of the time when reviewers give out tens they'll even state in the review 'this doesn't mean the game is perfect'. A ten means that a game is head and shoulders above the rest of the games released at that time, at least in the reviewer's opinion.

I don't believe any 10s will be handed out this year, mostlybecausemany of the high profile games are sequels and there is a lack of innovation.But there should be a good amount of games scoringthe"superb" rating and we may see multiple 9.5s (games which are pretty damn close to perfect). So far this year hasn't been all thatoutstanding.

Huh! That's not true. SMG2 wouldn't have gotten a ten if it wasn't able to destroy every single 3D platformer in quality and set a new standard for the genre.

Uncharted 3 won't go higher than a niner. The only candidate is Skyrim imo. The thing that could kill the score are bugs since it's a big open world.

Yea this year has been pretty floptastic but a strong year either way. Theres no way SS will get a 10 no matter how much I would want it too. GS has become the new "edge" reviewer in which they wait until last second and give a shocking review in order to boost traffic.

I think the underdog game, Batman:AC has a big chance for a 10 since it can surprise. I also think Skyrim has a chance as well because the reception that game got was unbelievable..

Nah, UC3 will score a 9 -9.5

Skyrim will be close, but probrably be too buggy to get the 10.

BF3 won't , even though it looks epic.

GeoW3 sure as heck won't, and this is coming from someone who's hyping the third.

Dark Souls will be meh at best.

Zelda : SS could suprise us, but that's unlikely.

No game is perfect, but saying a game doesn't deserve a 10 is wrong.
