...not that they ever would, weeks, months, or years after the fact or even that they would ever admit a hindsight mistake to a review score, which game do you think they would change...

I believe (and obviously this isnt meant to be a rip on gamespot thread at all, just some light hearted thought) they wish they could go back and drop GTA4 buy at least a point.

GTA4- 9.0 or even an 8.5

Mass Effect XBOX360- is a 9.0 or higher. (for me its a 10) at the time of its release the game was amazing and still is to this day.

AND YES!!!! i am well aware of the fact that games are reviewed by their currant standards at the time of release, im speaking more about games that just never felt like they fit the score they recieved.

GTA IV, definetely not a 10.

I think quite a lot of people will mention that one.

inFamous 2, obviously. Ridiculously low score for that quality of a game.

Probably Infamous 2. It was way better than infamous 1, how it scored lower is beyond me.

I will always say inFamous 2 was a TERRIBLE score but if I had a choice

Diddy Kong Racing- to a 8-8.5 unreal it got a 6...

But overall I would chose FF9 and instead of a 8.5 give it a 9.5... If ff8 can get a 10 this game can get a better score

But that means every other game would have to be 7.5 or lower. How would that work out ? :|

In famous 2 to a 8.5-9 GTA4 to a 8. But eh I don't care about review scores, saying review scores matter is basically saying other peoples opinion> your opinion.

People have a strong belief that no game should get a 10 because they believe a 10 means a perfect game. However, I think a 10 means a pretty damn good who's flaws are minuscule. Since everyone has a differing opinions, a lot of people are bound to find flaws in something that other people didn't. For example, some people found RDR boring. Other people, and most likely the person who reviewed the game here, found the game close to a masterpiece. A person can only give their own perspective on a game. And that's what people fail to realize.

Perfect Dark Zero. End of thread. Anything over 7.5 is a paid off review. I cannot believe it got a 9.0.

Only three games come to mind.

Tools of Destruction, Infamous 2, and the Halo RTS game.

Great thread!

Fallout new vegas should become at least 8.5.

Left for dead 2 should be 7.

Bioshock should be 10.

Portal rocks just thought I would say that.

I agree that gta 4 is not a 10 but it did something that no other game has in making a real, believable nyc and for that it should have a 9. Add in a good story, fun gameplay and decent missions/ graphics and you have a 9.5-10.

Infamous 2 - 7.5 to 8.5

R&C TOD - 7.5 to 9.0

I agree pretty much everybody in here with GTA4.

I would give GTA4 a 9 and RDR the 10.

Must be one of the few who actually loved GTA 4. :(

Anyway, Modern Warfare 2 should be a 3/10. I was going to say 1/10, but then I realized how much fun it was to use the grenade launched while camping.

infamous 2 to a 9. Even the hardcore haters think that 7.5 is too low for the best sandbox game on consoles.

Either Infamous 2 to a 8.5-9.0 or GTA4 to 8.5-9.0... Not sure which i'd have as the only one i could change though since both are bad scores if you ask me.

Majora's Mask to a 9.5+, but I'm not bothered by the score it received here. And for the record, GTA4 deserved its ten. Very much so.

Well to be honest everyone is gonna disagree with GS scores because people have different opinions.
