Since I'm seeing many others saying that this site's editorial reviews have no more credibilty to them, will there be any value or ownage as a result to any of these reviews?

What if Killzone 2 scores a 7.5, are there going to be any damage control around here or is everyone gonna shrug it off?

I'm personally never going to take this site's review seriously, and it's really too bad for the staff here who aren't at fault. I'm just not going put 100% trust in reviews on this site anymore, not after what happened.

But what if kilzone 2 you know deserves that 7.5 when it is released although I don't entirely trust them you shouldn't judge a game until it is released.

why can i not vote? lol. THIS POLL IS RIGGED. But yeah, GS reviews still count on SW. But now, so do other reviews. It's more of a "broad score" thing. No more "YEAH SO WHAT IF IT GOT A 9.0 EVERWHERE ELSE, IT FLOPPED ON GS!" heh.

EDIT: for some reason, I can't vote in any polls (they all just show results) and all polls have only 1 vote (i'm assuming the OP's vote), whats going on? GS bug? or is something wrong on my end?

If it doesnt score a 7.5, then lemmings are gonna make this topic ( DO WE EVEN CARE OF THE REVIEWS)

GS reviews are too inconsistent for me.

IGN have always been similar to my tastes, Gamerankings also.

Ign usally overrates everythig. I look to GS for reviews as it usually gives out fair ones, but any game below a 7 is always sub-par as i bought a few of the games(like superman returns.....) and gound them horrible.
