"A triumph" "How apt that this ultimate of hero-making should see Nintendo's hardware become the console it was always meant to be."

Wowzers, that's big coming from them :o though likely a ploy to get attention - perhaps a 9.0 from GS. :P
Gamespot is still going to give it an 8.5. X-Play is going to give it a 2 or 3 out of 5.nintendoboy16why would you think that? they gave twilight princess a 5/5

why would you think that? they gave twilight princess a 5/5 After their "reviews" of Tatsunoko vs Capcom (though that got a 5/5), Metroid: Other M, Sonic Colors, and Star Fox 64 3D. Not to mention Morgan Webb's hypocrisy on Super Mario Galaxy 2. I do not trust them for Nintendo related stuff (though past games I mentioned were third party games, but they were still on Nintendo consoles).[QUOTE="nintendoboy16"]Gamespot is still going to give it an 8.5.

I think they gave SMG1 and 2 a 5/5. Morgan Webb says a lot of crap to garner attention and nerd rage, but in the end they usually give good games an automatic 5/5.
She's been mouthing off on Skyward Sword too, calling it too kiddy, that the motion controls are tacked on, that the artstyle sucks, and the typical flamebait you'd expect from anti-Zelda trolls. She's just doing it for attention, I guarantee.
If wise, they should be bit cautious before gushing about this since it's very possible for GS to 8.5 this one. :PWhere's the sheep stampede?

That's like asking for a death threat.
If wise, they should be bit cautious before gushing about this since it's very possible for GS to 8.5 this one. :P It's really not, I don't see how it's possible this game could fall into an AA category. Almost everyone in the press is calling it the best Zelda of all time and the new features and gameplay elements certainly make it seem that way.[QUOTE="KiZZo1"]

They also gave Heavenly Sword a perfect 10. I'm not crapping all over them, but I know a lot of people here didn't enjoy that game much, so let's all keep Edge in perspective. (As an aside, I loved Heavenly Sword.)donalbane
Nope. They gave it a 6/10.

I used, and I think they do a far better job than ign/edge. They've been doing it since before it was even cool to have a game tv show, way back when. It adds to their credibility.
*I've got a wii+SS in my cart at bestbuydotcom. I want that GC bc Wii. Why must Nintendo coarse one into buying 7 year old baby console!
i was about to mention that. it wasn't a bad game, but nowhere near something deserving a perfect score. pardon me if i question their reliability...Edge gave a 10 to Bayonetta and that game is hardly any better than DMC4 or Ninja Gaiden.

It's their opinion, they clearly liked Bayonetta a lot. This site gave THPS3 and Chrono Cross a 10, and MGS1 and MGS3 AA reviews; not everyone is going to go with the consensus.Edge gave a 10 to Bayonetta and that game is hardly any better than DMC4 or Ninja Gaiden.

I stand corrected... my bad. I was thinking of PLAY, not EDGE... I always mix the two up. Carry on.Seriously? The ONLY two hack n' slash games that arguably best Bayonetta are Ninja Gaiden Black and DMC3. It's easily the best of its genre this gen, and DMC4 doesn't even come close to close.Edge gave a 10 to Bayonetta and that game is hardly any better than DMC4 or Ninja Gaiden.

DMC4 doesn't come close why again? DMC4's main problem was recycling... not so much the gameplay..
I want a Wii :cry:kuraimen
Me too! I feel like I'm being forced to buy one, now that nintendo stripped the Gamcube bc in the newer models. Amazon is already out of the old ones apparently.

Reliability entails a level of consistency. Picking one game that's not scored to your particular opinion of it is pretty poor argumentatio because it can't determine consistency of the website, nor a strawman arguments very good to begin with.

Maybe it will come out on Wii U with enhanced graphics. I doubt it, but there may be a spark of hope for you. Do they still rent consoles:? I know b'buster used to.[QUOTE="Heirren"][QUOTE="kuraimen"]I want a Wii :cry:donalbane

I know b'buster used to.Well, I have a GC and a bunch of games and was let down to hear that GC bc was removed from the newer wiis. Then I heard wiiu is only wii bc. The console is only $135 now, which isn't bad I suppose.
***The rumor of an enhanced "hd" skyward Sword has crossed my mind--it is actually what has been holding me back, but I'm just not sure that will happen as fans haven't been keen on remakes apparently.
