GS don't need to be different, they just review games on a strict basis. That's how it is now, that's how it's been for quite a while now (even though it might seem like they've gotten harsher recently) I actually like GS because of it, cuz when a game scores AAA here, you KNOW it's a good game. When you see a site where games get 90+ left and right, you can never be sure which of those games truly deserved those scores.

GS goes hard on technical flaws and gameplay mechanics that are flawed but are a major part of the game.

I disagree. The bosses had more anime-look than realistic looking, theywere suppose to look like that. They looked great I thought. What was so bad about the dragons, its how they attacked and fought?

Maturity is anaction, action can be tooken by anyone. So that explains all the events I heard in my life with children being heros.

Guess you also don't like Earthbound. Therefore, you should have your license to play games removed :)

Heroism has nothing to do with doing that. Picking up a gun is an off way to think of it, trying to do something good is what a hero is. Its has nothing to do with knowing how to point a gun, or lifting heavy things. A child could intervene infront of his mother to protect her from an abrusive father.

Um not every reviewer gave it 9's out of 10. Gamespt in fact were one of the few reviews who said they can't see a game with all the techinical issues like slowdown and glitches getting an 9.0 as well as not liking the combat and vehicles, something I agree with.

Put simply unlike other publications Gamespot didn't fall for the hype.

UT3 didn't get a 9.0 becaus it doesn't deserve it, lack of evolution etc.

Touche.

Although Ass Creed didn't have as many technical flaws as Mass Effect and while some of the missions were boring the main gamepay was still fun.

I havn't got around to play Mass effect yet (Damn you gamefly), but assassins creed is one of the only games that I have seen have glitch warnings in the beginning of the game. I wouldn't think that Mass effect would be to far from assassins creed.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who thought that. I hope GS doesn't rate me, I'm a rushed disappointment.
