GTA4 - GS 10. Me 8. It's a great game, but just not that fun.
Halo 3 - GS9.5 Me 8. To short, a multiplayer game, and I belive the core experience of a game should always be it's single player.
Half Life 2 - GS 9.2 Me 9.8. This game was incredible for it's time, yet it scored the same less than Halo 2 from the same critic (Great though he was.), which was not.
R&C:ToD - GS 7.5. Me 8.5/9. This is a great game, not a good game, a great game. 7.5 is beyond harsh, it's silly.
LO: GS 7.5 Me 8.5. Not the harshest score, but still felt pretty low for a game produced to this level of quality. But some critics were so harsh with this game it was unreal. A perfectly (When I say perfectly I mean there's nothing exactly game breaking.) good JRPG slammed because it was a JRPG, complete embarassment. GS and IGN still called it good. Others were not so kind.
MGS4 - GS 10. Me 9.3. A 10 given too lightly. This game was far from perfect, it was awesome, but it was full of so many little flaws that really added up. I wouldn't complain about the cutscenes so much, but some of the drama was delievered in such an akward way. It was also full of badly closed plot points. The actual gameplay was fine, but it was at it's best in the first two chapters. I wasn't so easily impressed by Act 4. The actual "stealth" of that chapter was poor, and the first boss battle is weak and overated.
AC - GS 9. Me 8. I mean everything is done well, but the actual pacing which criples the game. Too many similar tasks presented in such a bland way. It was at it's best near the start and at the end, where effort was made to keep the player intrested. I actually liked the plot and it's presentation though. Sure it wasn't perfect, but it was unique, and if you took the time to explore the scienece labs it was actually quite intresting. Though Ubisoft development studios need ti learn to lay off the cliff hanger. It actually puts me off buying their games because I almost always know they will end in a cliff hanger. The opposite effect it should have.
R6LV2 - GS 8.5. Me 7. I Have never played a sequel that does so little to improve on it's predessecor. It uses the same gameplay mechanics in even more boring enviroments, meaning it isn't even as good as the first. Pretty poor if you ask me. It deserved more than a loss of .5 for doing so little.
Bioshock GS 9. Me 8. I'm going to annoy alot of people saying this, but I found the gameplay to be very repetitive alot of time. Now some may say "But what about the atmosphere and plot?!" well that's the thing. I would have loved the game had it not been for the last hour or so of the game, which somehow managed to completely destoy the plot and atmosphere for me. Mabye it was just me but I thought that character at the end (Who I will not name.) had horrible voice acting, and the final battle, that was just stupid beyond reason. Completely destroyed the experience for me. Then it throws an awful ending at you, regardless of your in game choices.
