None because no AAAA game this gen deserved a 10, each one of them is vastly overrated. I can list atleast 5 other games more deserving of 10s than any of these. Each of these games deserved a 9.0, they were great but no way were they 10. Anyway Bioshock, Mass Effect 2, Red Dead Redemption, Uncharted 2 and Gears of War were all infinitely more deserving of 10s over any of those 3 games.

TacticalDesire

UC2/ME2 have higher MC ratings than MGS4 at the very least. Gears is the same.

otherwise, SMG2/GTA IV are unreachable MC-wise. which suggest that those two are more deserving of anything listed yet so far. but it's GS that matters.

I have read it.

Eh...are you sure? You proably missed something judging by what you just said.

Yes, I read it, I'll have to play it, but I highly doubt I'll think it's ten-worthy.

/shrug. I guess.

I haven't played SMG (don't have a Wii), and I didn't like MGS4 as much as others did, so I'll go with GTA4. However, my fav. game this gen was RDR.

None until I play SMG2, I played both MGS4 and GTA4, both great games but I don't understand the obsession with them.

This. I haven't played SMG2, but neither GTA 4 nor MGS4 struck me as 10/10 games.

Game reviewers will always give inflated scores to Mario games.In general standards for Wii games are not as high as other systems. But that's ok, I have no problem with giving Mario more credit than he deserves, he's been around for 25 years or so. Let's take it easy on him, he's old. His happy go lucky nature is still there though, thats the main thing.

MGS4 was able to get a 10 when it had a story, complex gameplay and HD PS3 graphics. SMG2 pulled off a ten with gameplay and wii graphics.

MGS4 really pulled off a lot more than SMG2. And I didn't like GTA at all.

MGS is subHD. SMG2 is more subHd and 1 version of GTA4 was HD, the other was not.

HD/subHD mean nothing for score outcomes.

MGS4, it was amazing. I'll get SMG2 tomorrow, but SMG wasn't as good and if number 2 is .5 better, than I don't think it'll be as good as MGS4, I could be pleasently surprised though

GTA has poor gameplay mechanics IMO. Driving mechanics--poor. fighting mechanics--poor. Yet, because people like the ideas behind the game, it gets high praise. I just don't think it should have received a 10. It could have been better.

The other two games are so different from eachother, it would be hard to compare them.

In my opinion none of the three worth a 10. The only game released this gen that came close is U2 and nothing else.

I'm having the most fun with SMG2. I didn't enjoy MGSIV as much as I though I would, considering I was a fan of MGS3. I didn't even bother to finish GTAIV, I found the gameplay too repetitive.

I enjoyed GTA4 far more than MGS4, however I would take either over SMG2 anyday of the week. HoolaHoopMan
Says the one who doesn't own a Wii and has obviously never played SMG2 :roll:. One of us here has actually played all 3 games, and can say all 3 are great, but SMG2 is definitely the best of the 3. Anyway results are skewed, obviously more Lemmings and Cows here than Sheep, theres no 360 AAAAE so they don't have true representation and if they disliked GTAIV (as many did) will be inclined to vote for MGS4. SMG2 is also brand new and therefore at a disadvantage. Even so Sheep who haven't played any of the games will vote for SMG2, further throwing off results. Wait a year, then ask this again. That'd be a bit more accurate.

MGS4 is by far the best. It truly has everything, graphics, soundtrack, story, boss fights, awesome characters, awesome villains, fan service, replayability, attention to detail, personality. It defines "Next Gen".

According to your beloved Gamespot, Super Mario Galaxy 2 has nothing on the bad column. MSG IV and GTA IV does. That means SMG 2 is flawless, perfect, the apex of modern gaming, the pinnacle of interactive entertainment, the ultimate gaming experience. I think Nintendo/Wii/SMG 2 won this entire gen. Wii the best, man. Listen.

I don't know, the difference between 9.5 and 10 seems pretty negligible. Most times when I look at review scores I like the highest tier of games all pretty much the same. There isn't really an extra level up above really great that's worth mentioning. These games aren't really in a class of their own. That's what I see when I compare them to the 9.5 games. A scale from 1-10 might be more appropriate. Having these fractions of a point just caters to first, the more worthy cause of different tastes, and second to the less worthy cause of fanboy battles.

Yeah, I feel the same. Haven't played SMG2, but GTA4 & MGS4 are far from perfect. I doubt SMG2 is as well. Albeit, they're all great games.

It goes both ways. I love how peoplevote MGS4 is better without playing SMG2.

But playing a game and knowing its one of the best games I've ever played and voting for it gives me a better stand than someone who is voting for a game they have never even played.

On a side note, it it beyond me that GTA4 got a 10. I played that recently and there are so many flaws in the game. I don't even think I would have given it a 9

Not really. Both are equally bad. Its like saying pie is better than cake when you've never tasted cake. :P

if "Best" means the best quality, story, gameplay mechanics, and overall, easily MGS4 takes it. But GTAIV is damn close, thanks to it's virtually endless gameplay. I haven't played SMG2, but i played 1, and it was ok. I think the reason so many people voted for it over MGS4 is either because a good majority are a resentful 360 or wii fanboy. I'm not saying people who voted for MGS4 aren't all genuine gamers, nor are all people who voted for SMG2 wrong. Just saying, I see the forums as 4 factions, and most of the time Hermits just keep to themselves, so 3 main factions on SW. This poll contains 2 options that are big titles for two systems, and the 360 is kinda left out (GTAIV is a good game, but really, I don't think it's a 10) Maybe I'm wrong. Who knows, who cares. At any rate, MGS4 is easily one of the best games of this gen, and IMO, the best GS AAAA title. However, the best game this gen has yet to come out. or maybe not. Gens not over yet :P
