All 3 games are not AAA worthy. Specially Fable 2. Thats more of a 7.5. It's overrated enough as it is.

imo mostly yes, but then you get games scoring too high like Condemned 2, Far Cry 2, BIA HH. Games like L4D and COD WaW were inproperly placed among this year's releases.

Any game less than 9 is garbage and is not worth playing. Heck, I personally think any game below 9.5 is not worth playing and anything less than 9 is not worth even seeing.

9.0 is FLOP. It wil always flop no matter how great it is.................. A flop wil always flop no matter how many times you spin about how great it is............

NG2, ME2 & Fable 2 according to many lems here is a great game. But all of those game is FLOP. So not worth mention it many times...........

usually i wouldn't waste my time defending a good game but having noticed your final fantasy sig, you have no grounds to judge a RPG.

Wow, this thread lacks sarcasm :rolls: :lol: Sorry just adding my bit.

I think standards have risen considerably this year. Games like Far Cry 2 and Fable 2 may have had a slightly easier time last year, but this is 2008, and the quality of games this year is, in my opinion and in many others, even better than 2007, and much better than 2006. Now that we have kicked in to the generation proper, we start to see some real eye openers. This means critics have to be sharper, and more careful when they come to reviewing games.

Besides:

AAAA = 10

AAA=9

AA=8

A=7

B=6

C=5

Etc.

It wouldn't make much sense to change what already works perfectly well. I think people should stop being so disheartend by scores of less than 9 though, seeing as it's a whole .5 of a diffrence. 8 still means great, remember?
