According to an un-named source, two reputable gaming magazines/websites have reviewed Lair and have each given it 9 out of 10. EDGE magazine is one of the these sites which reviewed Lair and gave it a score of 9 out of 10.

Gamezone, the other publishing website that also reviewed Lair and gave it a score of 9 out of ten. According to the un-named source, they label the game as having a "unique experience "

The fact that the source is "unnamed" worries me, but hey, the Gampro one was unnamed also.

Yup the hyping and bashing of Lair is getting ridiculous.

True, but take these with a grain of salt. For example, look at Red Steel. PLAY gave it an 8.5, GameZone a 7.9, GS a 5.5.

lol, what's funny is I thought they jsut finished the final build of the game last week. So how these magazines have played it is beyond me. Usually Gamespot reviews games on the actual retail version of the game so their opinion could be more valid then anyone elses at this point. I wouldn't expect a review for another 2 weeks from gamespot so.....I think it's time to make a sticky for Lair discussion so we are not overrun for the next 2 weeks on other sites ratings.

They played the review copy provided to them by Factor 5. That's how. Now, admittedly there have been changes between the copy they reviewed and the retail copy. In fact, one of the devs detailed the most major of the changes on his blog. That change? Better looking grass. Unless EGM had major issues with the grass in Lair, that criticism just falls flat.

Lair looks quite unique and cool with big beasts you'll encounter. The story also looks like it was done quite well.

BINGO! We have a winner! This is a PERFECT example of how some of these sites review games - solely for the purpose of getting their mag's name out there and possibly on the game's next advertisement.

1up gave it a 5/10, GS a 5.5/10, and IGN a 6/10.

Play gave it a 9/10, and Gamezone a 7.9/10 (like you said).

The first three are reputable and unbiased. The other two....
