they give 10s all the time.

Wind waker.
Twilight Princess
Resident Evil 4
Metal Gear Solid 2
Halo 2
GTA 3
GTA vice city
GTA san Andreas
God of War

in fact i think they give 10s way to much. Ultimate Alliance and many other multiplats like Fight Night are AAA on that mag.

yeah, but in those cases, it was simply the natural variances in opinions. they use a .25 increment scoring system, so they are currently less lax than GS. for the most part, they have the same opinions as the gaming community, while GS is always surprising people with their scores.

You don't need a lemming mask to appreciate such an amazing, industry changing game such as Bioshock.

GI's 10s are not Gamespots version of a 10. A perfect game in GI has to score an 11. They said it's never happened and probably never will. All those games you mentioned are the equivalent of GS rating it a 9. Which is a fair rating for those blockbuster games.

no, but I will probably need one of those crazy party masks like the Splicers wear, 'cause I am going to be pretty messed up by the time I finish this thing.

um no there rating system goes up to 10 dude. and no they dont give 11s. you are mistaken big time there. there 10s are equal to a 9 here. but only because they give 10s to much.

GI scores in .25 increments. from 0-10. or .25 to 10.

well u said most credible. if anything they are to easy and to hard at the same time. unless its Ninja Gaiden and they struggle at the game they score the games like a 5 and they give 9s way to much IMO. seriousaly GI is basically to nice for its own good, but i get it most people wouldnt buy there mags if they didnt show off all those "amazing games"

even when they give 10s, they admit the game is not perfect. if it can't go any higher, why not be a 10 for all intents and purposes?

because a 10 should be given to a once in a while game. im saying be tougher on games a little. I like GS because a AAA on this site 80% of the time is for a game that deserves it. sure PDZ and Warioware break the rule here and there. but GI a 9 is not hard to get. Darkness was an 8.75 so was Lost Planet. Marvel Ultimate Alliance, Fight Night round 3, and Super Paper Mario(all 3 good games no lie) they got AAAs. They are good but come on nothing special really.

If Bioshock is to be at the same level as those games you listed above, then we are in for a great treat indeed.

I don't understand why it's a bad thing for Bioshock to be compared on the same level as God of War, GTA, and Resident Evil 4? Didn't that last game get Game of the Year last year here at GameSpot? And Bioshock got the same score as that GOTY? Well, that is great!

no its not bad. he said the magazine is credible. it had nothing to do with bioshock. look at my sig i have it reserved(although if i didnt i could have just went to toys r us today :( ). anyway point is im saying GI sucks, cause they give 10s to everything. If Bioshock got less than a 10 on GI, id be stunned silent.

maybe it's not that GI is too generous, maybe the reason they have given so many 10s is because games are getting better? maybe there are just so many awesome games out there worthy of 10s, that it seems unusual at first to see so many perfect reviews. GI themselves explained that scientists in Nevada used a particle accelerator to synthesize pure Awesonium, the element used in 10-caliber games. Awesonium is now making it's way into many developer's hands. ;)

GI always gives 10s. I'll wait for the IGN score. However, on GS i doubt it'll get a 10, i doubt any game will. probably '9.5'
