OK seriously...im tired of seeing 8.5 games! I mean...all the latest reviews have been 8.5! bioshock 2, heavy rain and now ff13...all those are games that I expected to score more than 9.0...and 8.5 is now a really average score...gow 3 already got 10 on 2 sites including ign...if it doesnt get over 9.5 from gamespot, im gonna call gamespot 8.5spot! seriously I would love to see more variety in the review scores...there are not many games to review at this point...how about giving one more than 8.5 for at least once?

Or how about Gamespot switches back to the old review system with .1 increments?

And then give GOW an 8.6

The game will get what the reviewer thinks it deserves.

you know the only score over a 9.5 is a 10, right?

are you really expecting GS to give it a 10?

Every game you mentioned deserves a 8.5 or even better a 8. Gow might deserve more, or not. Who knows. Gamespot is probably a fairer rating system compared to the rest.

haha I hope it does get an 8.5 just so I can come on here and see everyone cry over something soo trivial.Completely ignoring the fact that 8.5=great.

some of these people make me ashamed to be a fan of the GOW series...

That was a photoshopped picture. The guys at IGN already said it was fake.

Do you understand the concept of reviews?

Gamespot is not trying to please us with their scores.

They are scoring the games to reflect what they think the game deserves.

Seriously....some of you treat this site like a sports web page or something...it's creepy.

lmao, I remember when they changed the rating systems,

they said the new one simply just rounds the score to keep it in the 5s

so maybe if it would get an equivalent of a 9.7 or so it might get a 10 :O

At least that's what I keep telling myself every times I see the MGS4 review....that game is in no way a 10.

of course the chances of that happening to GOW III is pretty slim isn't it? :P

anyways, I personally expect GOW to get a 9.0 here.

Edit: Forgot to add GTA4 in that list as well...another undeserved 10 imo.

God of Flop 3, it will get a 3 for its graphics cause they look worse than pong imo. SSM couldn't make a game that scores over a 4 even with a GTA4 sized budget. Why did Sony make them first party i have no idea.:?

I do think it's not going to get anything under 9.5, I hope it's that good.

After Bayonetta, any action game that just relies on QTEs and button mashing to win, should be banished to anything below 9.0. I have no interest in GoW III, I'm sure it will be a fun game, but the demo left me just with an unsatisfied feeling. Sure the scale looks cool in the videos, and the battles may be epic, but if the combat still is the same as it is in the demo, which is the same as II's which is the same as GoW ... I'll pass.
