I'm sorry, but the scores Lair and Blue Dragon got from these cynical bastards, I am not trusting. To score those games that low is a mockery of any developer. To only give Gears of War, by far game of the year 2006 in the majority of major game media sources opinion of freaking 8.0 is just ridiculously harsh grading. I wouldn't trust these guys.

Lair and Blue Dragon reviews were made by EGM. Heavenly Sword was reviewed by Eurogamer. It's a bit confusing what with all the "E"'s :P

I think those are very reasonable. I mean, here an 8.0 is considered "great" but almost "very good," right? I think Gears of War deserves something like that. Resistance? Really nothing special. Might be fun for people who haven't been playing the best shooters, but 6.0 is a fair score. Ninja Gaiden Sigma and RE4 Wii are remakes, so 7.0 is reasonable. If you've played the original it's unlikely you'd want to buy another game for basically the same thing.

I don't follow review scores much on any site, so I don't know about other reviews they have made, or what their tendencies are, but I think those are reasonable.

Sites like GS overrate games to an extreme. If Gears is a 9.6, that means that it's 4% away from being absolutely perfect. That makes me smile.

/GASP!

What's this?! Reviews that don't end up on the 9.0-9.9 scale!? BLASPHEMY!

What kind of morons think a 5 is considered average?! Any game below an 8 should be considered unplayable and worth only our spit and and mocking jokes.

Actually RE4 got 9/10 and resistance 7/10. I'm going to assume that metacritic was wrong rather than that you were lying.

This is a strange topic. Its a topic full of fail... but for the wrong purpose. In reality, it actually wins... with the wrong purpose.
Though its created out of confussion, it still delivers a very interesting point. Its a failed topic of WIN. It so defies logic that you created a time paradox!

Though in seriousness, thats some harsh reviewing.
