I like going to Metacritic, but because every website does their scores differently, it's still not an accurate aggregate score.

Out of all those games I really want to get Little King Story because I've been dying to play a new Wii game. At the moment I have NHL 09, Skate 2, Metal Gear Solid 4, Gears 2, and the FFXIII demo holding me.

They love that game on 1up. They have strange gaming tastes in general.

How is Punchout averaging such a high score? I don't get it....every podcast I've listen to says the game plays pretty much exactly like the original. How is that game worth the 50 dollar price tag? Sucks I can't play it myself and see what all the hype is about.

W1NGMAN-

From watching the Punch out 1up video from a few days ago, where they almost finished the first 2 circuits, it seems like the first few fighters fight nearly the same(minus disco kid, as he's new) as their previous incarnations. But, i noticed some striking differences in 2nd circuit fighters like Great Tiger.

Also, after beating all the fighters the first time you unlock Title Defense which is supposed to be much harder and adds alot of life to the game. It seems this is where alot of us previous punch out fans will find alot of great new challenge. I'm disapointed that there is only 1 new fighter(and he's low level, so not even a worthy challenge or addition to the game), but i'm really hoping that the title defense makes up for this.

Since this is Gamespot the scores from any other site are irrelevant.

Interesting but not of any real value here, except for comparison to OUR scores, which are what you have to use in site.

Thats the thing, 1up doesn't say this game is a 10, they gave it a A+, probably because it did everything right which it tried to do. And they liked the game a lot. I doubt it would of got a 10 if they used 1-10 style though. And i doubt any other critic will give it a 10. It will probably go to 84-88 on metacritic in next couple of weeks.

Since always actually. If a game gets 8 and 9 at like every critic, and everyone is hyping AAA, but then it gets like a 7 here, it is a flop. Thats how system wars works. Fun aint it? :P

Just ignore it, let those who want to follow the asinine "SW rules" do it. It is not as if they can stop everyone else from discussing and using what ever scores they want. I mean honestly, what is the most they can do? Tell you that "your breaking the forum rules!!1111!!!".

That is really going to do oh so much to change my mind. :roll:

LKS already has 20+ reviews, so that is pretty accurate. I think Punch-Out!! will level out to around 83-85 soon and so will inFamous.

That's different. That's the only thing where GS scores only matter. Saying scores from other sites are irrelevant on SW is wrong.

Punch Out and Infamous will probably fall to the early to mid 80's.

That's right. You can't use scores from other review sites for ownage or damage control. In SW, gamespot scores are the only scores that matter or hold any weight.

If you don't like it, don't talk about it or post somewhere else *in nicest possible way with big smile and friendly hug*.

It doesn't mean anywhere in particular is right or wrong, it's just what matters here.

Gamerankings uses reviews in English only, Metacritic includes reviews in other languages as well. That's what Dracula68 (the owner of the site) said. I never really payed attention to it though.
