Shit, i'm surprised to see people still not recognize 7 for the score it is - a good one. It's been incredibly hard for games to pass a 8 here on GS recently. Makes me happy that they're using the full scale.

Word. Could not agree more. Its such a cop out to just dish out 8-10's for every game with a bit of hype.

I think the problem is, as a reviewer, he keeps forgetting to add "is a playstation exclusive" as a positive, which means add an extra 2 points to the score.

Being desperate for something to play does add 2 points for the nogamestation games I suppose. (yes yes I know, you've had like a whole 4 decent exclusives or something this year to play. Congrats.)

Rain the PS3 Exclusive game coming out later today on PSN ( does GS really have only two people that review games? :/ )http://www.gamespot.com/rain/reviews/rain-review-6415140/?tag=Topslot;Slot4

Day 1 :D

finalstar2007

Another McFlop from Tom. :lol:

I still want to play this game though as I like the elements and puzzle aspects. GS need to get some better reviewers though. Between Tom and Carolyn I don't know which is worse.

It has to not meet its hype to be a flop ...

I figured this game wouldn't be all that. I don't think they ever showed gameplay footage from it and that's always a sign of marketing being like, oh s*it, if we actually show what playing the game is like then nobody will buy this for sure."

Finished this the other day. Best thing this game does is that collectibles aren't available until you finish the game the first time. Few things break a games pacing and immersion like ignoring imminent danger to stop and look for trinkets and treasures. I hope other devs take note. This game is an incredibly easy Ico knock-off btw. I liked it okay, but would probably give it 6.0 maybe 6.5. Definitely not worth $15, wait for PS Plus.getyeryayasout
That's a very clever idea. (the collectables)
