I said the exact same thing about TP: Everyone claiming anything along the lines of GS being biased can't read, 8-8.9 is considered "great". It says so right in the review. Why are people complaining about a "great" game?

Wii sucks IMO.

And IMO that is why it is getting lower than average scores.

No. Quite frankly, I think Zelda deserved an 8.8. It was a superb game but it wasn't deserving of AAA (I didn't think Oblivion or Gears deserved AAA either). You should play through the game beforehand.

Because they were reviewed by different people. 

Why do people act like Gamespot.com uses a machine that spits out numbers for games? Jebus.

IGN didn't do 4 previews on it, a video preview, and a live 4 hour marathon of the game.

Ah, I assume that's why SPM scored better than any exclusive on the PS3?

Super Paper Mario isn't even at 90 at Gamerankings. This is not bias.

There are not conspiracies all around you.

k... well, zelda and paper mario have been done before several times. i wouldn't complain if halo 5 got in the 8's because series wear out.
